Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik were once considered the arguably most distant pair of One Direction. Now, Louis's latest remarks are adding to speculation that a collaboration between them may be on the horizon.During an interview with iHeartRadio earlier this week, Louis Tomlinson was asked about rumors that he and Zayn might be teaming up musically. He responded:"Yeah, yeah. I heard that. I heard that. I thought that was pretty interesting, yeah… Pretty astute. I suppose they will just have to wait and see, yeah!"The comment was neither a denial nor a confirmation. However, it was quick to send social media into a frenzy. One fan commented:"Reunion vibes? 👀 This answer definitely left us all curious!"Ｓ ｈ ｅ ｌ ｂ ｙ @boomerehh1LINKReunion vibes? 👀 This answer definitely left us all curious!Netizens react to Louis Tomlinson seemingly hinting at collaboration with Zayn MalikPop Crave took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to share Louis response,"Louis Tomlinson when asked by @iHeartRadio if he is working with Zayn Malik for his project: "I suppose they will just have to wait and see.""Netizens did not wait long before jumping into the comment section of the post to share their speculations about a potential Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik collab. Below are some of their remarks:"Every time a former One Direction member gets asked about working together, they drop some vague “wait and see” line like they’re teasing the Avengers assembling. Louis knows exactly what he’s doing here — fueling fan theories for free promo without confirming a single thing. If it happens, the internet will melt; if it doesn’t, he can just say people “read too much into it.” Either way, the hype machine keeps running.", noted a fan."This time seems way different. They had a very public falling out, went years without speaking, and then publicly became friends and traveled together. Rather than just passing mentions like the other 1D members. I think there’s a very real possibility of them working together", shared another."Mystery always fuels the hype. Louis teasing a possible Zayn reunion keeps fans hanging on the edge of hope. Some answers sound better left unsaid. 🎶🌟🤔", commented a third.Others also chimed in:"Aye, keeping us on our toes, are you? Just remember, mate, anticipation can be thrilling, just like waiting for the kettle to boil!", expressed a netizen."THEY ARE DEFINITELY COOKING SOMETHING", shared another."Louis really dropped the most suspicious “maybe” ever, man basically said, “Yeah, I’m not saying no, but keep streaming just in case.”", penned a third.Earlier this week, Louis Tomlinson announced his third studio album, How Did I Get Here?.
