One Direction is heading four separate ways, the boy band announced Sunday.

Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson — the only four left after Zayn Malik quit in March — are splitting up for “at least a year” to work on solo projects after their current tour ends, Page Six reports.

“They fully intend to get back together at some time in the future,” a source close to them said. “There is absolutely no bad blood.”

One Direction has released five albums since it formed in 2010, and made over $46 million in 2014.

A publicist for the group hasn’t confirmed the split, and called the rumors “speculation.”
