One Direction star Louis Tomlinson made a shocking move against his bandmate Zayn Malik online.
On April 18, Tomlinson appeared to unfollow Malik on Instagram, sparking speculation about a possible fallout.
While the singer still follows fellow former bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan and the late Liam Payne, he removed Malik amid reports of tensions behind the scenes.
This comes amid reports of tensions behind the scenes during the filming of an upcoming Netflix docuseries starring Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik.
It is relevant to mention that The sun reported that physical changes between the duo also took place behind the docu-series.
First announced in 2025, the project will follow the pair “on a road trip across America in a spontaneous adventure of reconnection,” documenting their journey of reconnection years after Malik’s departure from the group in 2015.
Additionally, fans can expect the duo to open up about life, love, loss, and fatherhood.
Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik were bandmates until the Pillow Talk singer’s departure in 2015.
Later, the duo also got into a heated argument on X (formerly Twitter), but it seemed like their friendship was rekindled at the time of the docuseries’ announcement.
Additionally, Tomlinson and Malik also reunited at Liam Payne’s funeral, alongside Harry Styles and Niall Horan.
