The couple initially tried to keep their romance out of the spotlight but since then have been open about their romance, regularly posting loved-up snaps together.

In May 2021, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child together.

Perrie announced the birth of her baby on August 22, 2021.

Perrie also claimed that Zayn broke up with her via text.

In July 2017, she was accused of changing Little Mix's lyrics on stage to insult Zayn's then-girlfriend, Gigi Hadid.

After Zayn and Gigi announced their breakup, Little Mix fans responded by bombarding the former boyband star with karma memes about his treatment of Perrie.

Jesy announced that she was quitting Little Mix back in December 2020.

In December 2021, the group announced they were going to take a break to pursue solo careers, but will be back in the future.

In March 2024, Perrie made her solo debut with the song Forget About Us.
