Perrie wants kids with former 1D singer Zayn Malik

Asked how old she’d want to be when she has her first child, she told The Sun: “Well, I would say 24 and that’s in three years’ time for me. My mom was 24, though, so that’s always been my ideal age.”

The singer has been blamed for Malik’s departure from One Direction.

“People have said did I do this, did I do that? No matter what decision he made, I was always going to support him. If he’d wanted to stay, I would have supported him just the same as I have done since he’s left... If he’s happy then I’m happy.

“He’s really good. Hopefully everyone understands that it was one of the hardest decisions he’s ever made in his life,” she said.
