Louis Tomlinson seems to be burying the hatchet after his feud with Zayn Malik, after supporting his former bandmate’s baby news.

After Zayn and Gigi Hadid welcomed their baby daughter, Louis is the first One Direction member to publicly support the star, dropping a like on the Instagram photo.

While he’s not publicly said anything, it seems to indicate he and Zayn are patching things up after their fallout a few years ago.

Fans are over the moon, with ‘Zouis’ trending on Twitter and one thrilled Directioner writing: ‘ZOUIS’ FRIENDSHIP STILL SAILS.’

‘ZOUIS IS ALIVE AND WELL,’ another declared, while one more said: ‘“are u okay?” no im not f**king okay louis really liked zayn’s post and now all of us are having a big fat zouis breakdown and idk how to stop crying.’

Louis is one of the other dads of One Direction (along with Liam Payne), after he welcomed his son Freddie with Briana Jungwirth in January 2016.

Zayn and Louis’ feud is thought to have begun in 2015, when the Pillowtalk singer accused his former bandmate of making ‘b**chy comments’ about him on Twitter.

A year later, the Two Of Us singer gave an emotional performance on the X Factor just three days after his mother died.

Liam, along with Harry Styles and Niall Horan, came along to support Louis, but Zayn wasn’t there.

In 2019, Louis told The Sun that their relationship ‘never got better’.

‘I had a couple of calls with him after I lost my mum and all the boys had agreed to come to that performance and he didn’t show so that really bugged me,’ he said.

Asked earlier this year by the publication’s Fabulous magazine whether he’d made amends with Zayn, Louis explained: ‘No, but I’ve not actively tried.

‘We’ve all got a lot on our plates and there might be a day where I wake up and think: “OK, I want to right that wrong”, but not yet.’

However, fans are convinced the pair are starting to move on, after Zayn appeared to get his ‘Bus 1’ tattoo, which is a reference to his friendship with Louis, retouched.

Added to Louis liking the baby news, it’s safe to say fans have definitely got some hope.

Zayn and Gigi welcomed their baby girl this week, both sharing sweet photos to announce the happy news.

The singer wrote on Twitter: ‘Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful.

‘To try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.

‘Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together.’

Gigi posted her own announcement on Instagram, writing: ‘Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world. So in love.’

Reps for Louis Tomlinson declined to comment. Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Zayn Malik for comment.
