The former members of One Direction are giving fans hope in quarantine.

With the Brit boy band’s 10th anniversary coming up July 23, devoted followers have noticed that Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have all refollowed Zayn Malik on Twitter, although Malik has not followed them back.

Malik, 27, quit One Direction in March 2015, citing “stress” after leaving their world tour. The rest of the members split that August, reassuring fans the break wouldn’t be permanent.

Now, devoted One Direction lovers are interpreting the boys’ refollowing Malik as a sign that the time has come for a homecoming, causing the hashtag #OneDirectionReunion to trend on the social-media platform.

“They all followed Zayn again holy s - -t,” tweets one hopeful.

“Zayn is no longer an ex member on Google [search],” points out another.

Other hints that fans may be right include that the former members have also refollowed the official One Direction Twitter account, all five of the group’s albums are also now back on Apple Music and the group’s former website has been reactivated.

The members themselves have dropped some hints of a reunion as well.

“We’ve got a 10-year anniversary coming up so we’ve all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks which has been really nice,” Payne, 26, told the Sun on Thursday, “There’s a number of different things that we are all working on to try and make happen and people are forwarding emails around.”

“I think it’ll happen at some point, we’d be stupid not to,” Tomlinson, 28, said on British TV series “The One Show” in January.

In addition to fueling reunion rumors, Harry Styles, 26, has also kept busy during the coronavirus pandemic by supporting the coronavirus fight with a new T-shirt — sales of which are going toward the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization. The singer revealed in late March that he got stuck in California after his plans to fly back to Europe for the final leg of his “Love on Tour” was canceled due to the novel virus.
