One Direction member Zayn Malik left the group in 2015. He appeared on a podcast six years later to explain why he left.
He said he wanted to be a normal 22-year-old boy and have private time. He is now living in Pennsylvania with his ex-wife and their daughter, who he shares custody of. Zayn: "There had come a point in my adulthood where everything was gray and boring. She has brought color back" He has three cats, three dogs, three turtles and six chickens in his garden.
