But it’s not just the fans he appreciates. In the “are they or aren’t they” celebrity rumor mill, Zayn and Gigi have been linked up for awhile without either Malik or Hadid providing confirmation. With Gigi garnering the starring role in the video, the reports that they’re hooked up have heated up.
Now Zayn has finally confirmed all those rumors. It’s official: Malik and Hadid are a couple, revealed People.
The admission that the delightful duo are dating came during an interview with Zach Sang and the Gang, when Zayn discussed what “Pillowtalk” means to him in terms of the fact that it’s his very first solo music following his highly hyped exit from One Direction.
Malik was questioned about the way that he and Gigi seem to enjoy canoodling during the action shown in the clip, with the question phrased to refer to supermodel Hadid, 20, as the girlfriend of the 23-year-old singer.
“Was it cool to have your girlfriend in your video?” coyly questioned co-host Jillian Gutowitz.
Zayn paused to reflect, pondering whether to deny or admit, before confessing that yup, Gigi is his girlfriend.
“Yeah, that was cool,” owned up Malik. “That was something different. And yeah, we enjoyed it. It was fun; we had a lot of fun on set.”
As for the PDA parade shown on “Pillowtalk,” having his co-star be his girlfriend made it easier to be convincing, pointed out the co-host.
“No one easier to make out with than your own girlfriend, right?” pointed out Jillian.
“Exactly,” admitted Zayn.
As for just how serious they are? A source cited by People dished on the details of their blossoming romance.
“Zayn and Gigi are getting serious. Gigi was so excited when Zayn asked her to be in his music video. They both acted very professional on set but it was very obvious that they were in love. They couldn’t stop flirting with each other.”
Hadid visited Malik in London recently, and the hook-up heated up in Los Angeles as well. Prior to her romance with Zayn, Gigi was with Joe Jonas, but they broke up last autumn.
Professionally and personally, Malik is soaring, and “Pillowtalk” is at the top of the charts, reported EW.
Debuting at number one on the On-Demand Songs and Billboard Hot 100 charts, it was also a hit on the U.S. Digital Songs Chart and the U.K. singles sales chart. Moreover, since debuting January 29, “Pillowtalk” has topped Spotify’s global chart.
“Thank you to all my fans and supporters. We have achieved this together and I am grateful,” said Zayn.
As for how Malik’s girlfriend is doing, Gigi isn’t staying in the shadows. Hadid is turning heads by getting the Vogue Paris cover, with her flat abs flaunted as she posed nude in one cover and discretely covered in another, reported E! News.
Malik showed his pride by tweeting a link to the Vogue post about his girlfriend’s covers.
