Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid dating rumors are as good as confirmed when the model's mom, Yolanda Foster, talked candidly about how her daughter is enjoying life.
Foster attended the premiere of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" on Dec. 3, Thursday. When asked about her daughter's rumored relationship, the 51-year-old reality star was evidently supportive of Hadid's actions, The Daily Mail reports.
"Gigi's 20 years old, loving life, shopping like she should," said the former model from the Netherlands.
When asked about what she thinks of Hadid's new boyfriend, Malik, Foster has this to say, "I haven't met him yet, so I can't say anything about it."
If Foster seems to be supporting how her daughter is handling her life, her friends, on the other hand, are allegedly not in favor of Gigi and Zayn's relationship. According to International Business Times, a source revealed that those close to Hadid do not understand why she got attracted to the former One Direction band member.
Malik does not have the attributes the 20-year-old model usually finds attractive in men. The two are very different from each other. If Hadid is outgoing and full of sense of humor, the 20-year-old British singer is awkward and self-conscious. Friends mentioned that Malik is not usually the kind of man the runway model gets attracted to.
Dating rumors about the couple surfaced after the American Music Awards' After Party, when both the Victoria's Secret model and Malik were seen together in a car. Shortly after that, the two were spotted again in the Nice Guy Club, together.
Both Malik and Hadid had just been out of a relationship before being linked with each other. The English songwriter broke up with long-time girlfriend Perrie Edwards, who also happens to be an "X Factor" UK contestant. The two got engaged in 2013 but last August, Malik broke the engagement off.
Meanwhile, the young model had an even more recent break up with another popular singer Joe Jonas. They had been usually seen in public together looking happy, which is why many of their fans and supporters got surprised when they suddenly went separate ways.
