Is it official? Zayn and Gigi cuddle up in Instagram post

They say it isn't official till it's on social media, and rumoured love birds Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid might have chosen this route to make an announcement.



The ex-One Direction singer took to Instagram to share a monochrome photo of him and the model cuddling together. Gigi can be seen running her hands through Zayn's beard, and the two look like the typical loved-up couple in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.

We wonder if this picture, posted without a caption, serves as an official announcement to the world that the two are now together.



Previously it was reported that the former One Direction member was “heavily pursuing” Gigi, but she was more ambivalent about their romance. Seems like the heartthrob's efforts have paid off.

Earlier, a number of photographs emerged of them holding hands on a date night, and it was rumoured that things were getting serious. However, according to E! Online, "Gigi's friends do not quite understand what the attraction is. He is not her usual type, he doesn’t share her sense of humour or ease with people (and) he’s a little more self-aware and awkward.”



This is Gigi's third relationship this year after breaking up with Cody Simpson and then Joe Jonas, whereas Zayn ended his engagement with Perrie Edwards after two years. Let's wait and see how long this one lasts for Gigi!

Here's what people have to say about the new couple:
