"She's been putting on a brave face, as Little Mix have had promotion to do, but she's obviously devastated, the source tells WHO.

"Perrie's being supported by her bandmates, but she's really in pieces about this."

The couple got engaged in August 2013, dashing the dreams of millions of One Direction fans.

Although they have had their ups and downs, Edwards stood by Malik as he made the decision to quit the chart-topping band in March.

"He wanted to go and spend some time with his family and missus," former bandmate Liam Payne said in May.

After getting engaged, the couple were dogged by rumours about when they would wed, but never set concrete plans.

Edwards and Malik are both currently in Los Angeles as she promotes Little Mix's single Black Magic and he works on his new record deal with RCA, but according to the source, they haven't seen each other.

Malik's rep did not immediately respond to WHO's request for comment, while Edwards' had none.
