Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards have called off their engagement, mere months after Malik quit One Direction due to what many people believe to be her influence.

But that little fairy tale has been shattered, after Malik communicated his decision to her, about two weeks ago.

Edwards is said to be devastated by the news, according to People.

“She’s been putting on a brave face, as Little Mix have had promotion to do, but she’s obviously devastated” a source tells the publication.

In a Little Mix interview on E!, Pierre was asked about the broken engagement.

“I’m good, thank you” she said.

Malik broke off from One Direction in March this year, embarking on a solo career.
