Things ‘fizzled out’ between Joe and Perrie

However, it seemed things were not meant to be for Perrie and Joe. The insider added: “After a promising build-up, things fizzled out pretty quickly – although he’s still desperate to get back in touch and has reached out a few times. However, the writing was on the wall when she unfollowed him on social media in the summer and didn’t invite him to her birthday.”

Ouch!

Neither has commented publicly on any romance.

Since then, Perrie has moved on with footballer boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The pair welcomed their first child in 2021. Meanwhile Joe is happily settled down with Dianne.
