Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I roto i ngā wiki e rua kua pahure ake nei ehara i te mea ko te wehenga atu o Zayn Malik mai i te One Direction i puta ai ki ngā upoko o ngā nūpepa, engari ko tōna oranga whaiaro hoki. Mo te whanaungatanga o Zayn ki te kaiwaiata o Little Mix a Perrie Edwards i te mea e whakawakia ana, i te mea e whakapae ana te 22-tau-tau i te tinihanga ki tana hoa rangatira. I te mutunga wiki i kī te tauira o Huitene a Martina Olsson kua moe ia ki a Zayn i a ia e hararei ana ki Thailand i mua tata nei. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Zayn rāua ko Perrie e whakaahuahia ana i ngā wā harikoa ake, i rere atu te tokorua taitamariki i tēnei wiki ki te mea i whakaarohia he hararei hanga, pakaru rānei i muri i ngā whakapae i a ia e tinihanga ana.

Ka rite ki a Cheryl rāua ko Ashley, he nui te rongonui o Zayn rāua ko Perrie, 21 tau te pakeke. Ka rite hoki ki a Cheryl rāua ko Ashley, ko tā rāua whakaipoipo i whakawakia e ngā whakapae mo te tinihanga, mai i te tīmatanga. I noho hari a Cheryl rāua ko Ashley i te wā i kitea e ia kua tinihanga ia ki a ia i ngā wā maha. Ko te X Factor alumni tokorua i hui tahi i te marama o Akuhata 2011, engari i te marama o Akuhata 2012 i ripoatahia kua kiriata a Zayn ma te poka o te ruma hotera me tetahi atu wahine. Na i te Hui-tanguru 2013 i patua te tokorua e te kihi me te korero i te wa i korero ai te kaitoha o Ahitereiria a Courtney Webb ki te niupepa The Sun i te mea i moe ia i te 20 tau te pakeke. Ko Courtney - nana nei i whakaahua a Zayn i a ia e moe ana - i kii i taua wa: 'He tino p**** ia. He aha tana e maia ai - ehara i te mea ki ahau anake, engari ki a Perrie?' I tapiritia ano e ia: 'Kei te tino whakaaro ahau ehara i te wa tuatahi i mahia ai e ia tenei. E aroha ana ahau ki a Perrie - kāore ia i te mōhio kei te tupu tēnei mea. He hē, ā, me...
Ko te whanaungatanga o Zayn rāua ko Perrie kua pāngia e ngā kōrero tinihanga. Kua whakapaehia a Zayn mo te moe ki ētahi wāhine rerekē. He rite tonu ki a Ashley Cole i whakawakia mo te tinihanga ki a Cheryl Cole. Ko Cheryl rāua ko Ashley - e whā tau i marenatia ai - i whakarerea i te tau 2010.
