One Direction’s Zayn Malik Is Engaged to Perrie Edwards

Malik, 22, has been plagued by reports that his relationship with his fiancée, Little Mix Perrie Edwards, is on the rocks. On Wednesday night, he tweeted that he loves her and slammed any rumors to the contrary.

"There's a lot of jealous f**** in this world," he added. "I'm sorry for what it looks like x."

The Associated Press also reported that authorities in the Philippines, where the band is scheduled to play as part of their "On the Road Again" tour, imposed a $5,000 "weed bond" on Malik and his bandmate, Louis Tomlinson.

The money will be forfeited if they use illegal drugs.
