Who Has Zayn Malik Dated? The 7 Lucky Ladies He's Opened His Heart To

Zayn's first public relationship was with the fellow X Factor UK contestant in 2010. They dated secretly for a few months due to Simon Cowell's ban against contestants dating, but once the show wrapped, the couple confirmed their romance on social media. When they broke up, Geneva called Zayn a "heartbreaker." It's unclear what went wrong.

After meeting on The X Factor UK, Zayn dated the Swedish singer for a few months in 2011. While they "mutually agreed" to break up, Rebecca previously said that they don't talk anymore. "We went through an experience together that was life-changing," Rebecca said in an interview with The Sun in December 2016.

The Celebrity Big Brother star dated Zayn for five months in 2011. In an interview with The Sun in December 2016, Stephanie opened up about their relationship, revealing that they're still friendly and that they didn't "part on bad terms."

Zayn and Perrie first met on The X Factor UK in December 2011. Zayn's former band, One Direction, had been scheduled to perform and Perrie's group, Little Mix, were contestants on the show. After much speculation, the couple seemingly confirmed their romance when they were spotted on a scooter date in London in May 2012. Zayn even got a cartoon tattoo of Perrie on his arm. By August 2013, they were engaged, and they rang in Zayn's 21st birthday at Disneyland in Paris the following year.

Zayn and Perrie had been engaged for two years when they decided to call things off in August 2015. Perrie later confirmed that Zayn broke up with her via text. "It was horrible, the worst time in my life," she said. "A four-year relationship, two-year engagement ended by a simple text message. Just like that." Zayn moved on with Gigi Hadid a few months later, and as a response, Little Mix released a song, "Shout Out to My Ex," that was full of Zayn and Gigi references.

The singer was briefly linked to the actress after they were spotted out on a dinner date in London in October 2015.

Zayn sent social media into a frenzy when he posted a cuddly selfie with the model on Instagram in October 2015. It's unclear if they actually dated or if they were just friends.

Rumors of a romance between Zayn and Gigi first began swirling in November 2015, less than a month after the model split from Joe Jonas. It wasn't until December 2015 that Zayn finally confirmed the speculation with an Instagram photo of the two. The pair dated for almost three years, despite a brief break in June 2016. They made their red carpet debut at the 2016 Met Gala and had their very own spread in Vogue, and Zayn even appears to have gotten a tattoo of Gigi's eyes on his chest.

Sadly, their romance came to in end in March 2018. Both Gigi and Zayn released similar statements on Twitter, saying they were grateful for the time they spent together. According to The Sun, the split was amicable and Gigi and Zayn just grew apart.
