Here’s What One Direction Members Have Said About Harry Styles Since They Split

Seven years have passed since One Direction went on their indefinite hiatus, and all of the members have gone on to launch solo careers.

Along the way, most of them haven’t shied away from discussing each other in interviews. Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik have opened up to varying degrees about their relationships with one another since their split in 2015.

Payne, Horan, and Tomlinson, in particular, have praised Styles as his star continues to rise over the course of three albums, multiple tours, and a Grammy Award. Malik, on the other hand, left the band in 2015 under tense circumstances and hasn’t had many good things to say about his time in One Direction. All he’s had to say about Styles as an individual is they’re not friends. He’s said he’s no longer friends with any of the members, for that matter, and the public will never know the full story behind why.

So, with all that said, here are all of the words Payne, Horan, and Tomlinson have shared about Styles since they branched out as solo stars.

Liam Payne on Harry Styles’s Vogue Cover

“I think he’s enjoying himself and he’s free to do as he wishes. And I just think that people don’t need to be so bothered about stuff. There’s been a lot more stuff going on this year than whether or not he’s wearing the right clothes in someone else’s mind. He’s never really lost himself, even in spite of everything.” — Capital FM

Will Liam Payne Collab With Harry Styles?

“From the first song off [‘Fine Line’], I feel like me and Harry could do a really cool song together . . . There could be a good mix between the two things because the first song was kind of funky so I feel like we could break down into some sort of hip-hop-R&B thing halfway through, and have like a little megamix.” — Hits Radio

Liam Payne Explains How Different He Is From Harry Styles

“With Harry, there’s so much mystery around who he’s become. I was looking at some pictures of him the other day, and I just thought: ‘I don’t know what more I’d say to him other than, ‘Hello’ and ‘How are you?'” I mean, look at the stuff I put out and the stuff Harry puts out. Polar opposite. I’m like the anti-christ version of what Harry is.” — The Face

Liam Payne on Harry Styles Finding His Place in the Industry

“Now the band members have all worked our way through this first couple of years, you can kind of see everyone’s finding their own feet. Take Harry at the moment. You know, he’s just found what I think is his sound and exactly where he wants to be, which took him a little minute to get into since he had his last album out.” — British GQ

Liam Payne on Seeing Harry Styles Again After So Long

“We spoke about a number of things; we hadn’t seen each other for three years. Literally I hadn’t seen him once, we hadn’t spoken or anything. He was pretty much the same boy that I left him. We spoke about kids and happiness and all sorts of stuff.” — “Watch What Happens Live”

Liam Payne on Harry Styles’s Grammy Win

“Congrats [Harry] on your Grammy win What a huge moment, proud to be your brother.” — Instagram
