Perrie Edwards<\/strong> revisited one of pop music\u2019s most talked-about breakups. The \u201cLittle Mix\u201d star recently opened up about her split from former fianc\u00e9 Zayn Malik,<\/a><\/strong> suggesting there may have been some overlap between the end of their relationship and the beginning of his next one.<\/p>\n More than a decade later, the singer is reflecting on the heartbreak with a little more perspective and a lot more honesty.<\/p>\n During an appearance on Jamie Laing\u2019s \u201cFrom Great Company\u201d podcast,<\/a> Perrie looked back on her 2015 breakup with the former One Direction star and the emotional fallout that followed.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s just say there was a bit of an overlap,\u201d Perrie claimed when discussing how quickly Malik appeared to move on after their engagement ended.<\/p>\n While she didn\u2019t mention anyone by name, fans quickly connected her comments to Malik\u2019s relationship with Gigi Hadid.<\/a><\/strong> The pair began dating shortly after his split from Perrie and later appeared together in his 2016 \u201cPillowtalk\u201d music video.<\/p>\n For Perrie, seeing another woman featured in a song she believed was written about their relationship was particularly painful.<\/p>\n The singer admitted the breakup triggered what she described as \u201cserious breakdowns,\u201d explaining that she wasn\u2019t only coping with heartbreak but also intense public scrutiny.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt ridiculed,\u201d she said, recalling how she was constantly questioned about the split and faced relentless headlines.<\/p>\n One of the most emotional moments came when her father saw the toll the breakup was taking on her. Perrie remembered breaking down in tears while her dad struggled to comfort her.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was like, \u2018I don\u2019t know how I can take this pain away,\u2019\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n Edwards and Malik first met on \u201cThe X Factor UK\u201d in 2011 and became one of British pop culture\u2019s biggest power couples before getting engaged in 2013. Their relationship ended two years later.<\/p>\n Looking back now, Perrie says the experience helped her recognize what an unhealthy relationship can feel like. Today, she\u2019s found happiness with fianc\u00e9 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with whom she shares two children. Describing her current relationship, Perrie said healthy love feels completely different. There\u2019s no competition, insecurity, or constant anxiety.<\/p>\n TELL US \u2013 WERE YOU SURPRISED BY PERRIE EDWARDS\u2019 COMMENTS ABOUT HER SPLIT FROM ZAYN MALIK?<\/strong> The post Perrie Edwards Says Zayn Malik Overlapped Relationships Before Split<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Perrie Edwards revisited one of pop music\u2019s most talked-about breakups.
