Zain Javadd Malik, known mononymously as Zayn, is a British singer. Zayn auditioned as a solo contestant for the British music competition television series The X Factor in 2010.
The singer, who first rose to fame with the band One Direction, has been linked to a handful of women through the years.
Though he has notoriously kept his personal life private, he has given glimpses into his romances from time to time.
During the height of One Direction’s success, he dated fellow musician Perrie Edwards. The couple was together for four years and had a two-year-long engagement before breaking up in 2015.
Following his split from Edwards, the singer went on to date model Gigi Hadid, one of his most public relationships to date. The two were on and off from 2015 to 2021, eventually welcoming a daughter named Khai. However, in October 2021, multiple sources confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE the supermodel and the singer broke up.
Most recently, he has been linked to Selena Gomez after they were spotted grabbing dinner together in New York City. Here’s what you should know about his dating history.
The two pop stars, both 30, are sparking dating rumors after they were spotted out to dinner together in New York City.
News of their outing went viral on TikTok after user @klarissa.mpeg shared a text exchange with a friend of hers who claimed she was the pair’s hostess at an unnamed restaurant in the city.
After explaining that both she and her friend work at celeb-favorite hot spots, she shared a screenshot of their texting conversation, in which the friend wrote: “Tell me how Selena Gomez and Zayn just walked into [restaurant] hand in hand making out and I seated them.”
Let’s rewind all the way back to 2010. That was the year Zayn and Geneva Lane shared a short-lived romance during their time on The X Factor. She was a fellow finalist on the show but things didn’t end well for the two. According to Capital FM, she branded him a “heartbreaker” on Twitter.
Geneva Lane isn’t the only X Factor starlet Zayn got involved with. In 2011, he dated Rebecca Ferguson for four months, even though the two share a seven-year age gap. At the time, he was 18 and she was 25. The relationship wasn’t built to last.
Zayn started dating Stephanie Davis from Celebrity Big Brother pretty quickly after ending things with Rebecca. Things didn’t last very long with Stephanie either. They broke up after dating for only five months.
Zayn’s relationship with Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards was a huge deal for some time since they were both rising stars in their respective groups. He was part of One Direction and she was (and still is) a member of Little Mix. For a while, Zayn and Perrie appeared to be the perfect power couple, supporting each other’s dreams. They started dating in 2011 and he proposed in 2013. But by 2015, they were over.
No one knows for sure if Zayn and Carlyn Bryan actually dated, but rumors were definitely swirling in 2015 when he posted a picture with her on social media. He posted the picture not too long after splitting up with Perrie. What we do know about Carlyn is that she works in PR in Los Angeles.
In 2015, rumors about Zayn and Neelam Gill made headlines. He met the Burberry model for the first time while he was still engaged to Perrie. They crossed paths at a London recording studio and fueled dating rumors when she sent him a congratulatory tweet that same year.
It appears Zayn’s relationship with Gigi is now also history. They met for the first time in 2015 at Justin Bieber‘s American Music Awards afterparty and proceeded to date on and off for years.
The couple, who dated on-and-off for nearly five years, called it quits “for good” in late 2021. After a nasty dispute between Malik, Hadid, and her mother Yolanda, the exes are now on “amicable terms” and have decided to continue raising their daughter together.
The couple, who were first linked in 2015, share 2-year-old daughter Khai.
Malik has not publicly dated anyone since ending his relationship with model Gigi Hadid in October 2021 until a recnt report of him dating Selena Gomez.
