Zayn Malik not over ex Perrie Edwards, still 'misses and loves her'

Zayn Malik reportedly still has not moved on from his split with Perrie Edwards, although it’s believed he was the one who initiated the breakup. A source recently revealed that the former One Direction singer may still have hope of reconciling with Edwards even after he ended their engagement through text in July.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday (via Mirror UK) that Malik is wooing Edwards back through text. The 22-year-old has reportedly started messaging his ex-fiancée again “saying he misses and still loves her.”

"Although Perrie is trying to be strong and move on, it's obvious to everyone around her she's still in love with Zayn. Seeing him with other women is killing her,” the source said.

Friends of the Little Mix star is said to be worried that she will take Malik back since they believe she is still not over him, too. However, the source said there’s no reconciliation involved yet since Malik has not actually hinted he wants to get back together with his ex-fiancée.

“Her friends are worried if he begs her to take him back she could crumble. So far they haven't met up and Zayn hasn't actually said he wants to get back together, just that he misses her," the source further told the Daily Star Sunday.

Malik has been linked with several girls following his split from Edwards. He recently stirred speculations he is dating “Teen Wolf” star Gage Golightly after posing for a selfie with the actress’ lookalike. However, Golightly has since addressed the rumours and denied she’s the girl cuddling to a shirtless Malik on his Instagram photo. Malik has also since deleted the picture from his Instagram feed.

As for Edwards, she once hinted that she’s enjoying the single life. She has been seen out clubbing with friends and her fellow Little Mix singer Jade Thirwall following her split from Malik. Edwards told Mirror UK that she's “having an absolute blast” being single.

“I love going out. I'm feeling brilliant and I'm in a good place. We have a bit of banter with guys in nightclubs. I love it," she said.
