Disadvantages of being a showbiz couple

He said that when they were around each other, they did not get along that well. However, he said that is wasn't either of their faults as they had been through so many situations. He claimed that fame had put in a lot of pressure on their relationship, for example, going out for dinner was an issue because they were both really famous. He now says that he won't let these problems come in between his relationship and is refuses to sacrifice his happiness because of it. He said that his ex had the fame pressure all her life. He showed his displeasure by saying that if someone is going out it would take long for that person to get out of the door because the individual was so worried about what the shot is going to look like. The singer is presently dating model Maya Henry about which he hopes that she sees herself the way he sees her as he often gets worried with her getting her picture taken all the time.
Reaction on One Direction
The singer recently even reacted on his time in One Direction and how it affected his mental health. He said that he was afraid at first while talking about the break up of the popular band. He said that it was the time that he stopped or else it would have killed him 100 per cent. He said that there are a lot of consequences that come with fame and he was almost into a self-destruct mode. He then added that in such situations one has no control over their lives and he lost total control of everything. In the past two years, he has been trying to take control of it and understanding it is in his hand.
