UMVA has learned that Little Mix star Perrie Edwards has made shocking claims about her ex-fiancé Zayn Malik, suggesting that he "overlapped" their relationship with model Gigi Hadid.
Perrie, 32, opened up about the "serious breakdowns" she suffered after her split from Zayn, 33, in 2015, revealing that she felt "abandoned" and "left for something better." The Little Mix singer's heartbreak was compounded by the rapid pace at which Zayn moved on with his life, including the release of his debut single Pillowtalk, which was reportedly written about Perrie, but featured Gigi in the music video.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Perrie detailed how she felt embarrassed and horrified by the public's reaction to her split from Zayn, saying she felt like the world was laughing at her. However, she was quick to praise her fans for their unwavering support during the difficult time.
Perrie's claims about Zayn's relationship with Gigi are particularly striking, given that the pair began dating in late 2015, shortly after Zayn and Perrie ended their relationship. Perrie admitted that she struggled to cope with the aftermath of their split, revealing that she had "serious breakdowns" and was plagued by depression.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Perrie has now found happiness with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with whom she shares two children, Axel and Alanis. Despite her current happiness, Perrie's past experiences have left a lasting impact, and she continues to speak out about the challenges she faced during her high-profile relationship with Zayn.
In a candid conversation on Jamie Laing's Great Company podcast, Perrie confessed that she "didn't stay sane" during the tumultuous period, and that she was frequently breaking down in tears and struggling to cope with the pressures of fame. Her story serves as a poignant reminder of the darker side of fame and the enduring impact of heartbreak.
