Liam Payne has opened up about his relationships with the other members of One Direction.
The 26-year-old singer said he remains close to Louis Tomlinson.
“I speak to Louis all the time, Louis is great. He's doing really well,” he reportedly told the Mirror. “We've always had a good connection in the way that we were both trying to manage the band together and that's followed into life, and obviously he has been through a hell of a lot.” (Tomlinson’s mother died in December 2016 and his sister died this past March.)
“So I've tried to be there for him as much as possible, and so does he me.”
Appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show, Payne said he only speaks to Niall Horan “every so often” and hasn’t spoken to Harry Styles “in a long time now.”
He hasn’t seen Zayn Malik since Malik left the group in 2015.
“I always feel like Zayn didn’t really feel being there, if that makes sense,” said Payne.
“We all had a good time, there were moments when it was absolute bliss but then obviously there were moments where it was like, ‘This is awful.’ For him I just think there were more moments where he didn’t really enjoy what he was doing.
“Fair play to him, he went off and did his own thing and he’s doing really well.”
