When their split was reported, a source said The sun: “Jesy and Zion broke up last month and completely cut ties with each other. It’s not the first time they’ve broken up, but friends think it’s for good this time.
‘It’s a bit difficult because they had an EP ready with music they made together and Jesy doesn’t want it to come out now.
“Fans have already heard one of their songs and were hoping for more, but it’s looking pretty unlikely at this point.”
While several famous friends congratulated Jesy on her exciting news, there was a wall of silence among former bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Speak with The Guardian When asked if they were in touch, she said at the time: ‘No, not that much. Not now. I think we all need time. It’s a big thing that happened. I still think they’re all great. They looked like my sisters.”
Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade, who continued as a trio after her departure, unfollowed Jesy after the singer targeted them several times.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne for comment.
After Perrie, 31, spoke on a podcast about the end of their friendship, Jesy took to her Instagram Stories and shared a cryptic message.
The Boyz hitmaker shared the caption: ‘The internet is dirty and so are people’ on a black background.
Speaking to Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, Perrie admitted her broken friendship with Jesy has inspired a new song.
She said: “I wrote a song about it – a friendship I had that I don’t have anymore. We don’t know how to talk about friendship breakdowns.
“It’s still so heartbreaking when you go through all these things with someone, all the highs and lows and then they’re just gone.
“But these things happen. Are we trying to make things right? Or will you just stay away?’
