In the latest round of Gigi Hadid / Zayn Malik watch, the new IT couple were spotted in a PG-rated PDA (hand-holding), which the world’s media has since taken as definitive confirmation of their burgeoning romance.

The pair sparked dating rumours after leaving last week’s AMAs together and have reportedly been spotted on a number of dates since, with 'are they/aren’t they?' questions quickly replaced by cries of, 'relationship goals etc'.

Of course, the news hasn’t gone unnoticed by Zayn’s fans and 1Directioners alike. When Zayn posted a selfie wearing Gigi’s specs on Twitter, the sound of hearts breaking could be heard all over the world and girls ran to social media to lament the loss of single Zayn. Other users saw the funny side, commenting on Gigi’s spectacular dating record:

Zayn and Little Mix member, Perrie Edwards ended their long-term relationship this summer and Gigi is newly single too. Three weeks ago, she split from Joe Jonas – who today unfollowed Zayn on Instagram.

'Gigi isn’t really looking to get into a relationship, but she’s going to have fun with Zayn,' a source told HollywoodLife.com. 'At the moment she’s enjoying the attention he gives her, he’s always wanting to hang out, or go for dinner and she loves being courted.'
