In a 2024 interview, Zayn Malik talked about how being engaged at such a young age was a mistake, as he was still young. He said,
From 17 to 21, I was in a relationship. I was engaged and [planned to get] married and I didn’t know anything about anything at that point. I thought I did, because I was 21. I was legally allowed to do everything.
