The group has been split for eight years.
Simon Cowell says he doubts there'll ever be a One Direction reunion, and he regrets not owning the name of the band.
The music boss formed the group, which includes Mullingar's Niall Horan, during the 2010 series of the X Factor, and they split in 2016.
He's told The Diary of a CEO podcast that because he doesn't own the name, he can't organise a reunion or do any spin-off projects without all the band members giving the go ahead.
