Sorry Directioners! Looks like we’ve all lost out on our chance with Zayn Malik. The One Direction band member has reportedly asked his girlfriend, Little Mix singer, Perrie Edwards for her hand in marriage. The 20-year-olds met on X-Factor where both their careers started. They’ve been dating for over a year now.
When Perrie Edwards walked the red carpet at One Direction’s This Is Us film premiere on Aug. 20, wearing a huge diamond ring on her ring finger, it got many people talking. According to Hollywood Life, Zayn got down on one knee and proposed to the singer during a quiet weekend alone.
Sources close to the Zayn shared details about the proposal saying, “It was so romantic- Zayn popped the question over the weekend when they were alone together…It’s one of the first weekends they’ve spent with each other, as they’ve both been on tours with their bands. He wanted to wait for the perfect moment.”
All of Perrie's bandmates were at V Festival, and she couldn’t wait to tell them. They’re all really excited for her, as the rest of One Direction are for Zayn. Another source shared that Zayn got down on one knee and presented Perrie with the ring. She couldn’t believe it. It’s a shock to everyone.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Perrie’s mother confirmed her daughter’s engagement to the One Direction star saying, "It's official. I'm over the moon. They are really in love." She later went on gush about the couple telling the paper, "It's wonderful because Zayn is absolutely gorgeous. It's true they got engaged on Sunday and it's absolutely lovely. Perrie loves him to pieces and it's perfect. They get on so well together and understand each other. It's just fabulous.'’
1/5 of One Direction is officially being taken off the market. What do you think about this young couple settling down so fast?
