Did you know?: One Direction band member Zayn Malik to tie the knot

While they haven’t set a date, Edward’s mother estimated the couple would probably be getting married in 2014 or 2015.

Zayn Malik, arguably the best looking member of boy band One Direction, broke many teen hearts on Sunday by proposing to his girlfriend Perrie Edwards. Perrie was spotted sporting some serious bling on her ring finger at the world premiere of One Direction’s movie One Direction: This Is Us in London on Thursday, sparking engagement rumours.

Perrie’s mother Debbie confirmed the news on Real Radio, according to the Huffington Post. “They got engaged on Sunday and it was absolutely lovely. It’s wonderful because Zayn’s absolutely gorgeous and Perrie loves him to pieces. It’s just perfect,” she said. She was also delighted that Zayn took the conventional route of asking for permission for her daughter’s hand in marriage.

While they haven’t set a date, Edward’s mother estimated that the couple would probably be getting married in 2014 or 2015, as they don’t want to wait too long.

Things seem to be going perfectly for Zayn. He got the movie and the girl! But will the engagement last, or is this just a publicity stunt in light of 1D’s movie debut?
