It has been reported that Zayn Malik took the leap this week and moved out of the One Direction complex.

Most of the band were still living in a huge apartment complex in North London, where they started off after finishing on The X Factor in 2010.

Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson already purchased new homes and after sharing a flat for over a year, but insiders say Zayn only moved out this week.

Some sources say Zayn wants to have his own property, so he can spend more time with his girlfriend Perrie Edwards, some have even suggested that the 1D hunk wants to move the X Factor star in with him, but we think it’s probably too early in their relationship for this big move.

Sources close to the band also told Unreality TV that Niall Horan will be the next person to strike out on his own, with the Irish star planning to move to a new property before he goes to America next week.

The lads will be in the states adding the finishing touches to their second album and also carrying out a number of promotional duties. They will finish their visit off with a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, where they have been nominated in two categories.

Do you think Zayn and Perrie will shack up together? Would you be gutted if they did?
