A close source hopes that Zayn Malik proposes to Gigi Hadid

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have only been dating for about seven months, but someone close to Hadid feels he should propose already. At only 21 years old, it may seem a bit early for Hadid, but her younger sister, Bella, does not think so.

According to a source for the Sunday Mirror, “Bella’s been joking with Zayn that he’s being slow and drawn out, and needs to looks after her big sister as she’s one of the world’s highest-paid models and has taken his career to new heights of cool. She gets on really well with Zayn and has told him she’d love him as a brother in law.”

Some would think that Malik, 23, might have mixed feelings about rushing into things – especially as his engagement to Perrie Edwards ended only last year. It was said that the singer dumped his former fiancé by sending her a text message, then dedicated the single It’s You to her.

Malik had said at the time: “I just felt like I needed to put myself out there on that just because it was a form of therapy for me and it did help get me through some s**t.”

Earlier this year, Malik and Hadid experienced a brief separation but later rekindled their relationship. The two are said to be closer than they ever were before as a result.

An insider shared: “Things are back to normal with them. They got through a rough patch that Zayn was facing personally and it started to put a dark cloud on their relationship. Gigi was there for him when he needed her the most and that brought them closer than ever.”
