It looks like Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson may have put their past issues aside and rekindled their friendship. Fans were left stunned in Los Angeles earlier this week when the Pillow Talk singer revealed that an unexpected special guest was in the crowd: his former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson.

During his performance at the Shrine Expo Hall, Malik told the hyped-up crowd, "Tonight is kind of special. An old friend of mine is here supporting me." The crowd erupted with excitement as they quickly spotted Tomlinson in the venue. A wave of cheers filled the space, and videos quickly made their way across social media, showing Tomlinson standing in the balcony with his hand over his heart, visibly touched by Malik’s shout-out.

This reunion comes just months after the two former bandmates were seen together in Amersham, England, at the November 2024 funeral of their friend and fellow band member Liam Payne. It was the first time in years that Malik had been seen publicly with his former One Direction mates, including Harry Styles and Niall Horan.

Liam Payne, 31, tragically passed away in October 2024 after falling from the balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, leaving the One Direction family and fans worldwide heartbroken.
