While former One Direction member Zayn Malik has been dealing with various controversies lately, it is said that he is moving forward to a new life with girlfriend Perrie Edwards. The couple has reportedly bought a new house outside London for a hefty amount of £3 million.
According to Daily Mail, Malik and Edward's new house was previously owned by a Premier League football star. It features six bedrooms and five bathrooms and "is split into two wings." The property is also home to a guest cottage with three bedrooms. The house will reportedly serve as Malik's "safe haven" or "retreat," especially when his fiancé is away on tours.
The move is reportedly the couple's way of proving their commitment to each other. Not long ago, Malik was accused of cheating on Edwards, which eventually led him to quit his One Direction band. Back in March, the duo was also reported to have been house hunting after the cheating controversies surfaced and Malik's departure from the band. The couple was said to have been looking at London estates then.
According to The Richest, Malik has a net worth of $20 million, with his music career as his source of income. However, now that he's quit his band, there are concerns on whether his earnings will be affected, as reported by Hollywood Take.
Malik's music career started when he joined the reality show "X Factor" in 2010. When he failed to qualify individually, he was asked to join an all-male group of fellow contenders, which is now known as One Direction. According to Hollywood Take, One Direction made $75 million in 2014. Malik was earlier rumored to come up with his solo album now that he is no longer part of the popular boyband.
