Gigi Hadid is officially the girlfriend of former One Direction member Zayn Malik.

Malik, 23, finally confirmed his romance with the 20-year-old daughter of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster following months of speculation they're an item, E! News reported.
Neither Hadid or Malik has publicly discussed their relationship although Malik's recently-released music video for his first solo single "Pillowtalk" spoke for itself. The video featured the pair making out and was viewed over 37 million times.
So Malik couldn't hide from the truth anymore when a fan called into Zach Sang & the Gang's radio show with a cleverly-phrased question.
"Was it cool to have your girlfriend in the video?" the fan asked, according to E! News.

"Uh, yeah. That was cool. It was something different," Malik shared. "We enjoyed it. It was fun."
A co-host of the show then double checked that the word "girlfriend" didn't escape Malik.
"No one easier to makeout with than your own girlfriend, right?" the co-host prodded.
"Exactly," Malik replied, clearly confirming his relationship status after saying they were just "good friends" late last month.
Dating rumors sparked in November when Malik and the supermodel were spotted together after the American Music Awards. In addition to being seen holding hands during a dinner date in Los Angeles, the former boybander posted a photo of the couple on Instagram in which Hadid was pressing her lips against him as his eyes were closed.

Hadid seemed to move on rather quickly from her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, whom she split from after five months together due to their conflicting hectic schedules. Meanwhile, Malik had been engaged to Perrie Edwards, and only four months after he left One Direction, they split in August 2015.
