Zayn Malik has followed Louis Tomlinson on Instagram, and fans of One Direction quickly noticed. This small but meaningful action happened over the weekend and has sparked excitement among fans around the world. Many are now hoping it could be a sign of a possible One Direction reunion in the future.
Zayn followed Louis shortly after he posted a rare selfie on his Instagram on Sunday, May 25. This was his first post in almost a month, after finishing his “Stairway to the Sky” tour. In the photo, Zayn is wearing a white tank top and a black cap with the words HBO Original: The Last of Us. He also has a thick beard, which caught the attention.
The post quickly got a lot of reactions, not just for the picture itself, but also because of what followed, Zayn’s quiet move to follow Louis. This small gesture has led fans to wonder if something more could be happening between the former bandmates.
Is a One Direction Reunion Really Happening?
Shortly after Zayn Malik posted his selfie, fans noticed that Louis Tomlinson had liked the post. This small interaction between the two former bandmates, who fans often call “Zouis”, quickly created a buzz across social media. Many fans were thrilled and shared their emotional reactions online.
One fan wrote, “He loves that show, and it’s so cute! Also, I love how I went to look at the picture and saw Louis liked it. I started crying lol.” Another added, “AND LOUIS LIKED THE POST QUICK,” while someone else commented, “I’m so happy, I hope we see more Zouis interactions. I think they truly made up.”
This online moment comes only a few months after Louis was seen attending Zayn’s solo concert in Los Angeles. That appearance was the first time the two had been seen at the same public event in nearly ten years. It was a special moment for fans, especially since it happened not long after the group experienced the loss of bandmate Liam Payne three months ago. That emotional event had already sparked talk of a possible One Direction reunion, and now, Zayn’s follow and Louis’s like are only adding to the hope.
Zayn left One Direction in 2015, and since then, many believed his relationship with the other members, especially Louis, had become distant. But with these recent signs of support online, it seems like they might be rebuilding their friendship. While neither Zayn nor Louis has officially spoken about it, even these small gestures have given fans plenty of reason to feel hopeful.
