and a memorable music video for Red Nose Day in 2013 which featured then prime minister David Cameron happening upon them dancing in front of Number 10 Downing Street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But six years after they were formed, with more than 20 million albums sold, the band were placed on indefinite hiatus with Malik having already left in 2015 to pursue a solo career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Marking One Direction&#8217;s 10th anniversary in 2020, Payne shared a screenshot of a text message he sent to his father on the day he joined the group, reading: &#8216;I&#8217;m in a boyband.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;What a journey&#8230; I had no idea what we were in for when I sent this text to my dad years ago at this exact time the band was formed,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In 2016, Payne signed a solo record deal with Capital Records UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He said at the time he was &#8216;really happy&#8217; to have signed with them, adding: &#8216;One Direction will always be my family; I&#8217;m now excited to show what I can do as a solo artist.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Over his solo career, Payne released hits Strip That Down and Get Low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Away from the studio and stage, Payne entered into a relationship with former Girls Aloud star Cheryl, the pair having first met on The X Factor when she was a judge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In March 2017, the couple announced the birth of their son Bear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Proud new father Payne shared a photo of himself cradling a baby with dark hair on Instagram, with the caption: &#8216;I&#8217;m incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it&#8217;s a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favourite memory I have so far.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The singer would go on to speak proudly of his son in the years to come, saying during one awards ceremony that Bear &#8216;constantly inspires&#8217; him to be a better person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In July 2018, Payne and Cheryl announced their split after two-and-a-half years together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He opened up about their separation in the following months, saying it was tough to break up in the public spotlight and that announcing it was &#8216;like breaking up twice&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In August 2020, Payne got engaged to American model Maya Henry, but the pair split during lockdown and announced the engagement had been broken off in June 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">During the Covid-19 pandemic, Payne helped provide more than 360,000 meals to people struggling as a result of the outbreak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He donated to the Trussell Trust charity to support more than 100 food bank centres in Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Coventry, Sheffield, Nottingham and Bristol.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter
