Sarah Hucklebee Sanders Tells April Ryan to Stopasking Dumb Questions and Get Back to Work

Ever since they announced they were taking an indefinite hiatus in 2015, fans of One Direction have been patiently waiting for the band to return.

The group (which consisted of Louis Tomlinson,Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles andZayn Malik) was put together bySimon Cowell on July 23, 2010, after they all auditioned onThe X Factor as solo artists. On July 23, 2020, the boys celebrated their 10-year anniversary with the launch of an "immersive and interactive" website.

According to a press release, the site took the "form of a timeline charting the history of the group, from the first audition right up to the start of their hiatus. It will host an archive of music videos, artwork, TV performances, behind-the-scenes and rarely-seen content, all in one place." There was also a new video that highlighted the band's career from the start to releasing "History."

A few months after the epic 1D milestone, Liam said he's hoping for more One Direction coming soon. "I think we just need a proper catch up actually," he said during a December 2020 interview with CapitalFM. "It was nice to catch up for the ten year anniversary. I'm hoping we've got a lot more to come from us."

Months later, in March 2021, Niall reflected on his time in the band and what it was like dealing with fans at the height of 1D's fame. "I struggled with the idea of, 'Why won't you just let us out?'" the singer recalled on People, Just People. "But, you can't get inside the brain of a fan and now I completely get it, but at the time, you're like, 'You're our age. Just let us out.'"

Despite their busy schedules, the boys are still close. In fact, in June 2021 during an Instagram Live, Liam revealed that he and Harry had a "lovely" phone conversation. "I spoke to him and it was a really lovely catch up actually, and I've got a lot of love for the man. He's great, he's really, really great," the singer said, noting that he'd love for all the boys "to get in a room at some point." We'd love that too!

Since they decided to go their separate ways, there's not a day that's gone by that fans haven't longed for them to make a comeback, so this brand new website is seriously a dream come true! In honor of the exciting announcement, J-14 went ahead and rounded up everything the boys have ever said about the possibility of them reuniting over the years, so get excited, people!Scroll through our gallery to see what each member of One Direction has said about the band's comeback.

Liam Payne

Liam first started teasing their anniversary plans when he headed to Dubai to perform some of the hits from his new album, LP1. WhenCity Times asked him if he remembered the last time he visited the country with his bandmates, he explained, "It's hard for me to remember specific gigs because it was a blur of planes and sound checks and screams. I think we filmed that show and it will be part of a documentary around an anniversary."

"We've got a ten-year anniversary coming up so we've all been speaking together a lot over the last few weeks which has been really nice," Liam also told The Sun in April 2020. "At the moment I'm not sure what I'm allowed to say. There's a number of different things that we are all working on to try and make happen and people are forwarding emails around. But more than anything it's just been a real good time for us to connect together again."

3 of 48

Liam spoke out about it once again while appearing on The Late, Late Show With James Corden.

"I"m not allowed to say too much obviously because I would be giving it away," he said. "We've been speaking a lot more at the moment, I think we are all feeling that that ten year… It's a very special moment."

He also explained during an Instagram Live, "Most of us are in London. We've been trying to arrange the first group FaceTime at the moment. I can't say too much it was actually Louis told me off for revealing a bit about our plans the other day. So I had a group telling off on the group chat."

The singer seemingly revealed that Zayn would not be a part of the reunion when he asked singer Alesso to take his place. "You can come and fill in for Zayn. Join the band," he said.

5 of 48

When Alesso asked Liam who was the most excited for the reunion during another live stream, he explained, "I think we match each other for excitement. Where we left off with the band, we had just finished an album and we didn't get to tour it so there's always been that little thing that's been missing from it. Everyone I've spoken to, we always get onto the topic of the reunion at some point, it's not like anyone is trying to dodge it, it's just a matter of when."

6 of 48

But while speaking to People Magazine on May 6, 2020, Liam said he "couldn't promise anything."

"Obviously, we know it's a very big anniversary and we definitely want to do something. I mean, it's a tough one. I can't promise any reunion plans because it just isn't it right now. I always put it down to music language because everyone's releasing at the moment with like two years worth of promo," the singer said. "But, you know, it still seems very hopeful in that department. I'm starting to think it's gonna happen at some point. So it's exciting."

He added, "It's been nice to open up the channels of communication again because we hadn't spoken for a while. And I think we all needed that after spending so much time together — just to figure out our own selves as people because we all know what we are in the band. We spent so much time together that I didn't know where the f**k I fit in by the time it finished. It was kind of crazy. But it's been nice. It's been so lovely. And it's just nice to see everyone turned out to be nice people, you know?"

Liam Payne Confirms One Direction Reunion

Months before he confirmed that they were planning something for the 10th anniversary, Liam gave everyone a much-needed update on the reunion in December 2019.

"I think at some point we will get back together. I think we will for sure," he told Sunday Brunch. "I don't know when that is yet, but all I know is that there are at least two years because everyone's released new music and you have to go and promo. There are at least two years."

8 of 48

Speaking toDaily Star, at the BRIT Awards in February 2019, the "Strip That Down" crooner explained, "Last time I said a date it was 2020 and we're still not there yet so I'm just going to go with that and we will have to wait. Everyone's enjoying doing their own thing."

9 of 48

But unfortunately, while appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show in October 2019, Liam claimed the band wasn't getting back together in 2020 after all.

"Everybody outwardly in the press has said something but we haven't really spoke as a collective together," he said. "All I can say is, through album cycles and single cycles, I see everybody putting songs out at the moment, I don't think for at least the next two years it's going to happen."

10 of 48

"We have been talking a lot more recently and I can't imagine we wouldn't finish the story where we did," he revealed in December 2019. "However, the guys are doing so well individually and they are experiencing new things like film and TV, so it will probably be a little while if it ever happens."

11 of 48

"I say different times all the time," Liam said in an interview with Sirius XM in September 2019, when asked about when the band will reunite. "It's difficult. I haven't spoken to Harry in a while, so I don't know where his head is at with [a reunion.] I heard he mentioned it in some sort of magazine thing or whatever the other day, which is cool."

But according to the "Strip That Down" crooner, Niall and Louis are definitely on board.

"I think everybody else has been really outspoken. I think they're ready to go whenever," he continued. "I think Niall was ready the day we decided to stop. He was like, 'I'm sure we're coming back in tomorrow, boys!" He was just ready to go."

Same, Niall. Same.

12 of 48

When asked if there's a chance that 1D could get back together at the BMI Awards in October 2018, Liam said, "There is, definitely."

"I saw Louis recently for something that I cannot say," he continued (we now know he was referring to The X Factor.) "I've been in touch with Niall and Harry a little bit. I think it would be nice if we could get back together, but we'll see. In time. All in good time."

13 of 48

"It's amazing that we're doing our own thing and then, hopefully one day soon, we get back together and have another great time of it, who knows?" Liam said in June 2018.

14 of 48

While speaking to Nick Grimshaw during the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show in April 2018, the singer had some epic ideas for their reunion tour.

"This is the only way One Direction could get any bigger than it was. These next couple years, if we do well in our solo careers, imagine the concert of five massive solo artists coming together and doing their own thing. You'll get five concerts in one! It will be amazing," Liam said. "I think [we] could pop out with different tunes at different times. And people could join in. Maybe Louis could do the J Balvin rap [in "Familiar"]."

Wow, just the thought of Louis and Liam singing the bop together gives us the chills.

"Patience is key," he continued. "It will be all worth while for the viewers and people who are massive fans later on. It's going to be even better for you than expected so just hold tight."

15 of 48

"I think it will happen at some point in the future," Liam told German online news publication Promiflash. "We've all spoken about it. And you know, the dream is for this most fantastic show that could be, it's amazing!"

16 of 48

And when the Hugo Boss designer appeared on MTV's TRL back in October 2017, he confirmed their reunion again.

"I feel like it's going to happen soon, I've got a feeling," he said. "I'm excited for it. I want it to happen. There was a whole album that we didn't tour, I know we need to go and write some more music. It was so much fun and everyone loves it so much so we have to go again, for sure."

Not to mention the time he tweeted a fan that he was 100 percent certain the reunion will happen during a Q&A in December of 2016.

I'm 💯certain that we will

— Liam (@LiamPayne) December 17, 2016

Ugh, we seriously can't wait.

Harry Styles

As for Harry, he's not ruling the reunion out.

"I don't think I'd ever say never," Harry told Kiss 106.5 in November 2019. "I definitely never say never. You know it was a massive part of my life and something that we always have. It's a pretty amazing thing to be part of."

As for when the reunion will take place, he continued, "If a time comes around when everyone wants to do it. We're all going on tour [next year] but if it works out, well talk about it."

Fans were living when the Backstreet Boys had a virtual reunion during the coronavirus pandemic. Yep, because they were practicing social distancing and couldn't meet up during the outbreak, they all got on video chat together and performed some songs and recorded it for the fans.

When the radio hosts from the British morning show Heart Breakfast asked Harry if he was interested in doing something similar with the One Direction, he explained, "I mean we're not working right now so probably not this second, it would be an interesting way of doing a reunion for sure. It would be an interesting way to reunite."

He also told Sirius XM, "I don't know if that is the reunion that we've had in mind, and not sure if that would be the way to do, but yeah, I'll have a quick whip-around."

19 of 48

"I don't think I'd ever say I'd never do it again, because I don't feel that way. If there's a time when we all really want to do it, that's the only time for us to do it, because I don't think it should be about anything else other than the fact that we're all like, 'Hey, this was really fun. We should do this again,'" he told Rolling Stone. "But until that time, I feel like I'm really enjoying making music and experimenting. I enjoy making music this way too much to see myself doing a full switch, to go back and do that again. Because I also think if we went back to doing things the same way, it wouldn't be the same, anyway."

20 of 48

"Maybe at some point everyone will want to do something again but it's better if it happens naturally," he said in his Another Man cover story. "If that were to happen it would be amazing. I would never rule that out. It's the most important, greatest thing that ever happened to me, being in that band. It completely changed my life."

OMG. How sweet is that? It's honestly the greatest thing to ever happen to us too, Harry.

21 of 48

"It's something I would never rule out doing," Harry said when asked about a reunion in May 2017. "Right now everyone's getting a chance to explore things they want to try and it's really cool to see what they're coming up with when it's just them in a studio writing."

Louis Tomlinson

As for Louis, he's all for the reunion as well!

"Look I f–king love One Direction," he told U.K.'sThe Telegraph in November 2020. "I'm sure we're going to come back together one day, and I'll be doing a couple of One Direction songs in my gig. I always do that, so that's not alluding to any reunion or anything. But, I mean, look, I'm sure one day we'll get back together because, you know, we were f–king great."

23 of 48

"We've been on a break only for about four years, and I'm only now getting around to releasing my first album," he explained to BBC. "Fans who follow our move every day probably feel like we haven't been a band for a while, but I'm just finding my feet. It'll happen at one point. We'd be stupid not to, but we're just exploring and enjoying life as individuals now."

Louis Tomlinson Talks One Direction Reunion

He also told Cosmopolitan in January 20202 that if he had to guess, he'd be the one to send the initial, "Alright boys, let's do this," message. But he also admitted that if the guys were to get back together, the music would have to be different. He explained that although the songs were great, they were reflective of the fact that they were being performed by teenagers. As for when the reunion will take place, he said, "Anything past 35 feels too late," but didn't want to think too far into the future.

Louis Tomlinson confirms one direction reunion

"I wasn't really ready for the band to go on a break," he told Metro in October 2019. "As far as I am concerned, I am happy doing what I am doing. But the day that [a reunion] does happen, and everyone is ready to do it, I am ready."

26 of 48

"There's gotta be! One hundred percent," Louis told 1883 Magazine about a 1D reunion. "As far as I'm concerned, we are all good at doing our individual stuff right now and it's great for yourself as an individual, but the day we do get back together will be a magical day for all of us. I think everyone is in the same boat when it comes to this. It's inevitable and the question is just when are we going to do it. Now that we are on this break, I can look back and say it was massive, but looking from the other side you can see the influence and the importance. That's really cool, just seeing our positive influence. We were such a powerhouse. It's a no-brainer. I'm the first to sign the sheets to get back together."

27 of 48

"I do think it will happen," he told ITN in May 2019. "I'd certainly have something to say about it if it didn't. I think it's inevitable. 'When?' is the big question. That's something none of us really know the answer to at the moment."

Did he just say inevitable? Wow, our hearts are seriously bursting.

28 of 48

And when asked if he still keeps in touch with the boys, Louis confirmed once again that they're as close as ever.

"Absolutely yeah, we all keep in contact you know what I mean, the lads sent me some messages," he told KIIS 106.5 while promoting his hit song "Two Of Us." "I've had a text from all the lads actually about the song so that was really nice."

Plus, he dropped a major hint about the reunion once again.

"And in terms of getting back together… at some point obviously," Louis continued. "Like you know what I mean, we've got a lot of people that we owe it to really. So I think everyone's on the same page now. We're all just doing our own thing."

29 of 48

"My dream is that one day we go back on tour together as a band. That would be f–king ace," he told House of Solo Magazine in March 2019.

30 of 48

"We haven't started talking about it yet, but the truth is that it would be wrong not to meet even one day, it would be wrong for fans too," Louis told Vanity Fair Italy in March 2019. "The problem is to say when. We are all engaged in our careers. I saw Liam at X Factor, he came in an episode as a guest judge. We talked a lot, it was nice. Then I went to see Niall on tour. The truth is that we can't hear each other or see each other much, but we have a unique, uncommon bond."

31 of 48

"Of course, I miss [One Direction] so much," Louis continued to Vanity Fair Italy. "Like all those who have been part of that. We lived on a roller coaster and it was wonderful. We have traveled the world. We got on all the stages. I miss it and when I think back, I feel only pride."

32 of 48

"I miss the band every day – I'd be lying if I said I didn't. Of course I do," Louis told inews.co.uk in February 2019. "It was an amazing time, so when you don't have that same rhythm, you feel it. But that's what drives me. It gives me something to aim for again. And obviously in an ideal world, who knows when, we get back together at some point and you know… whatever. But having that idea in my head of working really hard every single day, that gave me a target."

33 of 48

He also told Metro UK that he and his girlfriend, Eleanor Calder, spend a lot of time listening to the band's old music.

"There have been times where me and my girlfriend listened to the albums," he said. "Those moments are special and each song takes you back to a certain place. I couldn't be prouder."

How sweet is that?

34 of 48

"We're all just enjoying our time, but for me, there's no way with a band like One Direction that it's not going to happen again," Louis said in September 2018. "It's just impossible to say when. It's got to."

35 of 48

And while speaking to Dan Wootton in 2017, he was sure the band would reunite.

"There is no question of if – it's a must. And I think we're all on the same page with that one. It would be too difficult for any of us to say no," the "Back To You" crooner said.

36 of 48

Niall Horan

"No one really talks about [a reunion]," he admitted on theJonathan Ross Show in June 2021. "If everyone wanted to do it, I'd be down for it. They're probably slim right now, currently. We need to all get in the same room and have a chat. I don't know when that would be."

Niall continued, "Unless everyone was completely in, I wouldn't want to do it. I wouldn't want to force someone into doing it."

37 of 48

Niall spoke out about the upcoming anniversary and their plans to reunite, telling Nova FM, "We've barely spoken about it … We were chattin' about, like, is there anything we can release, like, content or something?"

But when people started to twist his words, he took to Twitter to let everyone know he was done talking about it once and for all.

I'm just going to not answer the question anymore because if you read that quote it obviously reads that I'm being serious when I say " and we came to the conclusion there was nothing". If you watch the interview I'm 100000 % being sarcastic and it's obvious. I won't answer again

— Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) May 21, 2020

"I'm just going to not answer the question anymore because if you read that quote it obviously reads that I'm being serious … If you watch the interview I'm 100000% being sarcastic and it's obvious. I won't answer again."

New Music Coming Albums to Look Forward To

In another interview, he insisted that the guys weren't planning a reunion after all. He explained, "Obviously, there's a lot of talk about it at the moment, because the 10-year anniversary of the band getting together is happening this year. It's absolutely nuts, it's strange. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday, sometimes it feels like it was 50 years ago. It's strange, but no, there's no reunion, as such. We've just been talking a bit more, recently."

39 of 48

In the past, however, Niall has confirmed that the band will get back together one day! While participating in James Corden's Carpool Karaoke in March 2020, the talk show host hooked the singer up to a lie detector test. When he asked him if he thought the band would get back together, Niall said "yes" — which according to the machine, was the truth!

40 of 48

"I would hate for people to be like, 'Here they are coming for the money — because they've spent it all.' If and when we come back, it would be to bring the joy back to people who had missed us," he also said. "I wanna do it when everyone is f**king ready."

Bit Awards 2020 Best Worst Looks Red Carpet Photos

But he isn't too sure when it'll happen. While attending the 2020 Brit Awards in February 2020, he explained, "The answer is, we don't know [when]. We haven't spoken about it, and you'll know if we do."

42 of 48

"We'd be absolutely ridiculous not to reform the band," he told RTE in February 2020. "We haven't really spoken about the whens, but we know we will. We have all said individually that we will and I think it would be stupid if we didn't."

43 of 48

"There was no timeline on the gap. I would have preferred if someone said five years, and it probably will end up something like that," he revealed to The Telegraph in October 2019. "I'm enjoying what I'm doing, but if one of the lads were to pick up the phone and say it's time, I'd do it."

44 of 48

"This is kind of like a little chapter in the middle where we're doing our own thing," he toldBillboardduring Pop Shop podcast in July 2018. "You can't rule anything out really, can you? I suppose right now it would be a bit weird, but I never rule anything out, to be honest."

45 of 48

"It's only been two years, or less than two years [since we took a break]. It's like two years in my life. I'm hoping to live a long life, so two years out of it is not a very long time neither is three or neither is four," Niall told The Irish Sun in September 2017. "We have to just wait until everyone's ready to go again, we'll go again. It'd be nice to think that we stopped at a high point, it'd be nice to pick up from there."

46 of 48

"We don't want to put a time on it. But when that phone call does come, no matter whoever it comes from, we're back again," he told The Sun in May 2017.

We may or may not be crying.

47 of 48

And even though they're doing their own things, the "Slow Hands" singer isn't worried.

"It will definitely happen, of course," he said to the Australian radio show Smallzy's Surgery in February 2017. "As I've said many times, we'd be stupid not to. I'm doing [my music], going to be doing a bit of a tour. Harry's got his movie coming out, Harry's doing his thing. Louis's doing his thing and Liam's doing his thing. A year has gone so quick already. But when [a reunion] does happen, it's going to be great."

48 of 48

Simon Cowell

Simon, who originally formed the band back on The X Factor, said he thinks the boys will get back together "within five years."

"My gut feeling is yes," he said on the U.K. radio show Heart Breakfast. "I mean, they're all doing great solo wise, at the moment, but they had a lot of hits. So, they could do tour, after tour, after tour. You know you could sell out a One Direction gig, or a stadium tour, in about 20 seconds."

Well guys, it's clear that the reunion is inevitable and we seriously cannot wait to see our favorite boys on stage together again.
