Perrie Edwards was “embarrassed” when she broke up with Zayn Malik<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Perrie Edwards dated Zayn Malik for four years<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old singer dated the former One Direction hunk from 2011 to 2015 and he was her first real love, so not only was she left devastated when their engagement ended, her heartbreak felt even worse because of the scrutiny the news brought.<\/p>\n

She recalled on the We Need to Talk podcast: “Tt was just a lot. \u2026 It was too much. It was just everywhere. It followed me like a bad smell…<\/p>\n

“I felt embarrassed. I felt weird. Really sad. Going through all these emotions and going through it with everyone staring at me was like, it was mortifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perrie met Zayn – who went on to have daughter Khai, four, with Gigi Hadid – when she was competing on The X Factor as part of Little Mix<\/a> and it was initially “refreshing” for them to bond over shared experiences but they battled to keep their romance out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cThis was early days. It was all very new for them as well.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think meeting someone at that time in your career who\u2019s kinda at the same point is kinda refreshing. It\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, you get it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt was pretty easy at first, [but] it got more difficult as it went on.”<\/p>\n

\nThe pair deliberately kept their relationship out of the spotlight as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\nPerrie explained: \u201cI think part of us keeping everything private was because it was nice to have something private in general. Everything else was just laid out.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI think we didn\u2019t want to \u2026 I felt bad for the girls because a lot was made to be about him. It was the start of our careers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Forget About Us singer “learned a lot” from her relationship with Zayn but it led to her taking some fears into her current relationship with fiance Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the father of her three-year-old son Axel.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cI think it maybe [thinking a romance can\u2019t be sustained] comes from past relationships and how the other person\u2019s handled it. Then you just assume, \u2018Oh, nobody\u2019s going to want this.’<\/p>\n

\n“So [I] think maybe my previous relationship made me think, \u2018Oh I probably can\u2019t have my cake and eat. I probably can\u2019t be a popstar and have a relationship.\u2019 It\u2019s one or the other.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cReflecting back, I\u2019m thinking, \u2018Oh, that probably wasn\u2019t good.\u2019 And I\u2019ve noticed it a lot.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLike in the start of the relationship, I would handle things differently with Alex, and he\u2019d come at it with such a level head that it would throw me.\u201d<\/p>\n
