Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas broke up earlier this month. They had only been together for a few months, and quite honestly, it seemed like she could do better. But Gigi has a real thing for current and former boy banders. It seems like her latest would-be boyfriend is none other than… Zayn Malik!! Zayn who quit One Direction. Zayn with the chip on his shoulder. Zayn with the ‘tude. That Zayn.
Hadid has him hooked! Fresh off her split from Joe Jonas, Gigi Hadid is now dating recently single Zayn Malik, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
“It’s a very new thing. They’re just seeing where it goes,” a source tells Us.
“I wouldn’t call them boyfriend and girlfriend,” another insider adds. “But seeing each other? Definitely. He’s chuffed.”
Indeed, the model, 20, and Malik, 22, seem to be enjoying each other’s company. The pair were spotted getting cozy while partying in West Hollywood on Sunday, Nov. 22, after Hadid attended the 2015 American Music Awards, where Malik’s former One Direction mates picked up two awards.
“Gigi was leaving The Nice Guy,” an eyewitness tells Us. “Gigi went out the front, though. She walked down the street and jumped into the car where Zayn was waiting to pick her up.”
Hadid – who previously romanced Cody Simpson – is newly single after splitting from Jonas earlier this month. The exes called it quits after four months of dating. (Jonas, 26, also walked the AMAs red carpet with his band, DNCE.)
There’s a lot of young-person drama around this, but you’ll have to excuse me for being bored at the Jonas angle. Like, I never even thought Gigi and Joe Jonas were all that “together” in the first place. It just seemed like PR to fluff up their profiles. The angle I’m interested in is the Taylor Swift-One Direction angle. Gigi is part of Swifty’s Squad, and the Squad has direct orders to Mean Girl all things 1D and Harry Styles specifically. I have to think Taylor would approve of one of her squad members cuddling up with Zayn, the one who left 1D.
And in case you don’t believe there’s a Swifty-1D angle, here’s video of Gigi snubbing Harry on the red carpet of the AMAs, only to have Harry walk off with an eyeroll. It was amazing.

He’s a douche. That’s all I’ve got.
He’s a douche based on what info?
He can’t keep it in his pants. He cheated on his ex-finance multiple times. One girl took pictures of him being in bed of the house he lived in with his ex-finance. The night before he left 1D he was seen holding hands with another girl. He also left his bandmates in the middle of a tour. The funny thing about this story is how he drove to pick her up. He can’t drive, but he hired a car to pick her up in front of a hollywood hot spot. He’s a douche, but at least he’s entertaining.
Based on his history of cheating on every woman he’s dated since the X-Factor? Geneva Lane, Rebecca Ferguson, and Perrie Edwards–he cheated on all of them. Geneva and Rebecca are both open about how little they think of him and his inability to keep it in his pants. He dumped his fiance by text. He dumped his bandmates mid tour, after he was caught cheating (again), and lied to them that he was coming back. When he was really quitting the band to go solo. He’s just really a bit of a douche. But he always provides the drama and is always good for a meltdown about how people just don’t get it or understand or misinterpret him when he’s caught cheating.
His facial expression in that picture wasn’t enough proof?
You don’t know any of them. And how do you know that maybe his “engagement” wasn’t a pr stunt anyway. We don’t know anything that goes on in that group . At this level everything is a PR stunt .
RAWR Gigi! Have some fun, girl!!!
She’s a climber. She doesn’t have the connections Kendall has, so she’s got to get those social #’s up another way.
Gigi comes from a very well off, well connected family. In fact, the other “it” models have it the same: Cara, Suki, Kendall….
Yeah Gigi’s family has a lot of connections. It’s the reason she climbed the modelling ranks so quickly. Otherwise, most of the models that are popular now would still be struggling models working their way up. These girls started at the top.
Her mum was a famous model, her dad is uber rich, her step dad is one of the most powerful producers in hollywood. She comes from money and connections.Her parents are probably richer than Kendall.
What idiot social climber latches onto fading boyband members?! Shes a 22 year old famous model, she can do waaaaay better than this. Theres always a billionaire somewhere on the planet seeking out a new status symbol. And if fame is more her game, theres BCoops, Di Caprio and about a dozen other big name directors and actors who will happily play this game. This is no social climber.
@Naya While you may think he’s fading, he still gets tons of press and will probably get more once he releases his new solo album. I think he has more potential than a well known beard like Bradley Cooper or gross Leo. I don’t see how she can do better than this. While I thin she’s pretty, she’s not exactly A list.
Naya – she doesn’t need a billionaire, her father is a billionaire. She can date all the cute boys she wants, rich or poor, and will never have to worry about marrying into money because her father is super loaded. This girl is set for life.
Zayn’s solo album is coming out next year and it’s one of the most anticipated albums of 2016. He has a whole fandom backing him up. Zayn Malik isn’t fading anytime soon.
Allie and Aliyah Wake me up IF he ever pulls a Timberlake. Even then it still wouldnt make social climbing sense for a 22 year old billionaire heiress with IT model cred to date a pop star with 10 year old fans rather than a proper actual star or a real billionaire.
He’s ridiculously good looking. Theyll make a extremely beautiful couple.
Yeah, they do look good together.
I just don’t see it with him. And he also seems like a douche so that kills the hot, too.
I agree. On paper he is hot, but the douche vibe is too strong that it ruins him for me. I have seen a couple of the 1D members in person at a club (not him). They look 12. I was like are they even legal to drink?
Agree. They’re both very attractive. Before today I had no idea that zayn had cheated on multiple girlfriends. I thought he had only cheated on Perrie. A shame I think he’s hot. 🙁
These people are just a bit younger than I am ( i think Harry’s exactly my age) and they all seem so very immature. But this is all showmance, right?
He is not sexually ambiguous like Harry and joe Jones.
He likes women and Gigi is just his type. I’d say it’s more believable than Gigi and joe.
Actually, there have been some blinds items alluding to Hadid’s sexual preference. If it is true, I don’t think it would, or should, effect her modeling career. I happen to think, despite all of her connections, unlike Kendall Jenner, she is really pretty.
Whatever happened between Harry and Taylor it must have been ugly. I remember the clip with 1D presenting Selena Gomez a VMA. IIRC she properly hugged everbody else but gave Harry an “air hug”. Taylors other exes dont get this treatment do they?
Have you ever seen the vid of Harry and Taylor (and a bunch of other people) in the hotel lobby where he irrefutably and totally snubs her? Tis glorious.
I have. The funny part is that their “relationship” always seemed fake so I guess I have a hard time believing that their dislike of each other stems from a bad breakup.
And she is just looking down at her phone, to the side of the group, pretending to be wrapped up in something else LOL so dramatic ..hilarious
TAYLOR ALSO DATED JOE JONAS!!! I don’t get why she’s so pissy with Harry and not Joe?? And Gigi? creepy triangle
Gigi seems like one of those girls who just can’t stay single. She must love the attention. I like Zayn and think he got a bad rap for no real reason (my opinion). I kind of like the idea of Gigi and Zayn. Good for them. They are both very good looking !
You’re really reaching with that “eye roll”. I saw that whole interview as it was happening live. Harry was extra nice to her and made eye contact with her a few times and when they got off the stage he said bye to her once again and smiled.
I totally agree with you he got a bad rap. He just said he never broke up with that Perry girl by text. Which was the story that went around and made him seem like an insensitive douchebag. She and her band never denied or confirmed that story because in some way the break up with the sob story in fact worked in their advantage. In terms of 1d it’s only when boyband members leave a band that everyone acts as if the world ended. Who else would get so much shit for leaving a job they are unhappy in?
I agree. The breakup Via text message was a rumour but it spread like wildfire. Zayn himself cleared it up by saying that he’s didn’t break up with Perrie by text. He’s not a bad guy.
Isn’t she bearding for these guys?
Why would a guy who is has a reputation for cheating on his ex-girlfriend need a beard? You must be confusing Zayn Malik with Harry styles. He is the one with the gay rumours. This one has a rep as a womanising cheater.
I would totally throwdown with the bodyguard. *humpf*
Me too. Forget the boy banders.
Yes!!! I was just thinking the same thing. Team bodyguard all the way.
I saw Joe Jonas on Saturday. Randomly came into my work. She def upgraded
Are you in Chicago? One of my friends hung out with his crew on Sat night in Chicago..she mentioned later that she gave him a hug goodbye. LOL she is like a decade older than him, I was dying.
How long do these narcissistic children hold grudges though??? Damn. I find those two really boring, separately and as a potential couple. As to her having a thing for former boy banders, he really has a thing for the current It Girl, no? So boring. Unless Taylor or Harry are involved, I’m a little bored.
That eye roll! Harry is the only reason I care about any of this. We don’t get enough Harry gossip, or maybe I’m just not looking at the right sites.
I agree! He always has the best gossip!
This really look like teenagers drama.. and it seems like Harry Styles is the one who’ll come out of it looking the best..
Yeah, Harry Styles seems like a nice guy, and completely at home with his sexuality. Loved the pink flowered suit he wore to the AMAs on Sunday…everyone else looked so boring beside him!
Yep, he’s like ‘I’m over this sh*-drama’ thus the eye rolling.
I didn’t get it as a snub from her at all. It looked more like they snubbed her. It looked like she walked up and cut off their interview and said Hi to everyone, so he said Hi but rolled his eyes. I’d roll my eyes too. It’s the music awards. It’s their and other musicians, bands and singers’ moment. Not the moment of a baby-faced model who is getting by through their mommy and daddy connections.
Hahah omg I love this comment.
Contract/publicity romance for sure . BG even predicted this.
agree 100%
Everything you’re ever going to hear about this girl is contract/publicity/daddy payroll stuff.
Please stop trying to make her happen here!
wtf cares!
He’s an upgrade over Joe Jonas and Cody Simpson. Nick Jonas is the hotter Jonas and Cody Simpson looks tweaked out, to me. Still think it’s publicity right now, as Zayn is looking to make a splash as a solo artist (someday?). I agree Gigi doesn’t need the money but she does need the limelight…her bankability as a model comes a lot from her Instagram popularity and her connections.
most people in Hollywood want publicity.
It doesn’t have to be either or though don’t see why it’s so far fetched they would hook up. they are roughly the same age, run in the same young Hollywood circles, none of them are exactly ugly, both raised by Muslim dads
You can genuinely like someone and enjoy the benefits of the attention/ status it brings. Think this is true for many Hollywood couples.
It looked to me like Harry put his hand out for a shake and firmly left it there. If anything, he snubbed a hug. He’s probably avoiding the potential for a hook up story about the two of them. Everyone he touches, he seems to have bedded. And come on…the only person he’s bedding is Louis. LARRY STYLINSON FTW!! Lol
Allegedly Harry cheated that is why Taylor is pissy with him. Seems to me that Harry and Louis gets away with the same behaviour as zayne because he/they are less offensive ( read brown …Muslim name etc)
Wow, that’s an ugly comment. Zayn suddenly left a multi-million-pound world tour in the middle – coincidentally, right before the African and Middle East stops, where lots of (brown, and in some cases Muslim) girls has bought expensive tickets and were looking forward to seeing Zayn in particular. Harry and Louis have done nothing of the sort. Zayn also skipped out on a lot of the promo he was supposed to do before he quit: he simply didn’t show up for interviews.
Zayn is a jerk, and I’m deeply sick of people giving him a pass because of his skin color.
Zayn WAS subjected to racism. This is a fact. IF its true that Harry cheated then its fair enough to point out that one person seems to be judged much more harshly for the same behaviour. Wasn’t Harry involved with a married woman too? That isn’t ever brought up is it?
To be quite honest with the exception of Liam they all seem like f***boys… One of them sleeps with the girl his friend is involved with, one of them gets some random girl pregnant 5 min after splitting up with his longterm gf, the other two cheats supposedly. They all seem to have messy love lives, apart from Liam.
As for the whole he left the band comment, leaving the band does not make him a jerk, people leave their jobs all the time for various reasons, personal or professional.
Zayn gets grief for his cheating because there are pictures of his cheating. He’s also brazen and callous about it and then turns around and blames the women he cheats with for not staying quiet and outing him, calling them bitches and whatnot. There’s pictures of him with his hands on other women in clubs or climbing into taxis together. Pictures of him sleeping in the bed he shared with Perrie taken by the woman he’d just gotten done having sex with. There’s audio recordings of him trying to pull women for him and Harry to sleep with while on tour.
Zayn gets a lot of unearned and unfair criticism and hatred because of his religion and color of his skin. However, given the evidence out there, Zayn’s cheating is not one of those things that is unearned criticism IMO.
Hot bodyguard alert! I need more than a profile shot to be sure but from this angle, he’s looking good.
agreed!
He is a stunner when he is well. There are rumours he is bipolar. He has been popped looking very out of sorts and all that ganja can’t help.
As for her, I think she’s probably a bit PD with her crippling disease but is always out and about partying… Good match maybe.
Either way the little northern lad will get eaten for breakfast and spat out to rehab.
Zayn is utter trash! He isn’t a loyal band mate,friend,or fiancé! Who does he have left except for his family? His closest friend now is his cousin who is about 17 years old. He lost the Riach brothers,Louis,Liam,Harry,Niall,Shahid,Perrie,etc. Gigi seems like a nice girl, I hope he doesn’t hurt her too!
lol boyband fans
LOL at anyone who thinks this would be a legitimate relationship. If it comes to be it will be as real as Perrie and Zayn’s. Im cackling at ppl who do not know how this industry works but love to follow every little aspect of it. Thought I do not think this will really surface to much, it wouldnt even matter. Once the rumours are out and the press is buzzing the job is already done. I wish them both the best. Seem like alright people and it’s cool they share a similar background possibly? Since Gigi’s dad is Palestinian…. Zayn is actually a really nice dude and the public love to eat up any negative FAKE press he gets. Gigi is already well off with amazing connections. This sort of reminds me of the time when it was rumour that Harry styles was with Cara D. These pairings give the models a boost and extra fans
