Does Zayn Malik has a new girlfriend? The former One Direction hunk fired a bombshell on social media when he shared a photo of him cuddling a mystery blonde lady. The 22-year-old singer's post comes right after his previous fiancée, Perrie Edwards, posted a photo of her and a hunk Portugese dancer, Rycardo Gomez, at Apple Music Festival in London last week.
Malik and his rumored new girlfriend were seen looking intimate at the photo he shared to his 3.5 million Instagram followers on Saturday, Sept. 26. The shirtless British singer was snuggling the blonde lady with his tattooed arm, while he appeared to be kissing her as he puckered his lips. The lady, on the other hand, looked like she's also ready to receive his kiss. The said photo stirred rumors online as reports have it that the lady looks like Malik's ex, Edwards, Closer Online reports.
Fans were reportedly shocked and are wondering who the lady is. Malik didn't write any caption on the post. According to a previous Realty Today report, just last week, he posted a cryptic message on Twitter that reads, "I don't want you to wait for me, I'm not coming home." One fan wrote, "What is this, you dump your beauty over a text and then make her cry on stage and now this..."
As everyone is trying to guess who the lady is, Daily Mail claims that Malik's rumored new girlfriend appears to be the actress Gage Golighty, who is well-known for portraying the role of Erica Reyes on the MTV series "Teen Wolf." However, Golightly has already clarified that she is not the woman on Malik's photo. Apart from that post, Malik also posted two more selfie photos over the weekend.
Since Malik and Edwards broke up, the two have continuously threw shade at each other. Last week, the Little Mix singer confessed in an interview that she's enjoying her newfound freedom and that she's busy looking for a potential partner, Hollywood Life reports. One insider told the magazine that she's over being sad about her split from Zayn. In fact, she's reportedly grateful to the former One Direction singer for showing her what she doesn't want in a boyfriend.
