Earlier reports suggested that Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards' impending marriage was to blame for former's decision to leave One Direction.
Liam Payne's comment about Malik wanting to spend time with his "family and missus" further supported that theory. According to the Little Mix' member's mother, however, that's not quite true.
Although the 22-year-old did start spending more time with his fiancé after exiting the band, no definite plans have been set for their upcoming wedding. Edwards recently said that they'll get married when they're ready. For now, Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards are very much busy with their own careers.
Edwards' mother, Debbie, further defended her daughter from annoyed fans who called her "Yoko Ono 2.0". According to Mirror, the "Black Magic" singer's mother insisted that her daughter had nothing to do with Malik's exit from 1D.
"They've always been happy," she reportedly shared. "Zayn's one of the nicest boys I've ever met and I couldn't imagine Perrie with anyone else. I feel like he's already my son, they've been together since she was on The X Factor so he's part of the family."
Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards' relationship is reportedly stronger than before.
Sugarscape suggested that his exit from the band could have been because of an offer from a different company. According to rumors, 50 Cent wants Malik to get out of Simon Cowell's company and transfer to his own.
The rapper reportedly told Mirror that he wanted to work with the Bradford Bad Boy.
"I can make him a lot of money and he can make me a lot of money. The point I am making is he needs to be working with the right producers, artists, and people in the genre," 50 Cent added.
Should the former 1D member sign should ditch Naughty Boy and sign with 50 Cent instead?
