Things in Zayn Malik's professional and personal life are definitely in a state of upheaval. After making a shocking exit from supergroup One Direction, Zayn and his fiancee Perrie Edwards are also dunzo.

Apparently the 22-year-old initiated the break up with his long time love two weeks ago, reports Us Weekly. A source close to the Little Mix member said, "She’s devastated and torn up."

A source close to Malik said in addition to splitting from 1D back in March, the singer simply wants a new beginning in all aspects of his life. The pal said, "He just wanted to move on and start over in all ways."

Interestingly enough, when Zayn left the band his relationship with Perrie was cited as a contributing factor, sites claimed that he wanted to dedicate more time to his lady love. Apparently that plan didn't work for the young twosome, who got engaged in August 2013.

Despite Zayn's erratic behavior we're shocked to hear the news. Less than two months ago Zayn tweeted, "I'm 22 years old... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f--ks in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like x."

In addition to the romantic upheaval, Zayn probably should have thought a bit more wisely before leaving the hit-making boy band -- his ex bandmates are tearing up the charts with their new song "Drag Me Down," are on a huge world tour and just performed on Good Morning America. But Zayn did just sign a record deal with RCA -- so we are looking forward to seeing what he does next in both the music biz and on the dating scene!
