Zayn Malik New GF: Former 1D Star Cozies Up To Mystery Woman In Latest Instagram Pic

Fans of singer Zayn Malik were sent into a tailspin of excitement over the weekend when he posted an intimate photo to his social media account.

The black and white image showed the former One Direction performer with a woman who had her hand clasped around his neck but her face was not visible.

In the photograph, her long blonde hair and immaculate nails were visible as the duo embraced each other intimately.

But, followers of the couple are adamant they have uncovered who she truly is.

The social media sphere exploded with speculation when photos of a mysterious woman began circulating.

Many believed the woman to be Selena Gomez, especially after she posted pictures of herself sporting a blonde wig and red nails. Thus adding fuel to the rumor fire.

Speculation sparked when it was noticed that Zayn and Selena were in Paris at the same time. A first onlooker stated: "Why do I feel like that's Selena," while another commented: "This is just speculation but Selena was in Paris so was Zayn. SHE WAS A BLONDE WITH RED NAILS - could this be her?"

Many followers, yet, were skeptical about the post.

One individual noted that Zayn could be advertising for a new music video. They posted: "Everyone pays attention. The only posts he has right now relate to his upcoming song. This is likely part of the video and she is an actress cast in it."

It's difficult to believe that Zayn Malik would only post about music-related topics and then suddenly mention a new girlfriend.

After all, the singer is notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to his private life, having been in relationships with Perrie Edwards of Little Mix and Gigi Hadid, Victoria's Secret model.

Meanwhile, Selena Gomez also made a bold style move this week, swapping her usual brunette hair for blonde.

This change came around the same time as she and Gigi ended their on-off romance of six years, which resulted in a daughter Khai, two. The pair finally called things off for good back in October 2021.

Recently, Selena and Zayn have been the focus of some wild rumors that they were an item. However, in June, Selena made it very clear that she was single when made the proclamation "I'm single!" on TikTok.

This effectively squashed any speculation about her and Zayn being together.

When Klarissa Garcia posted a video on TikTok, the news of Zayn and Selena dining together at a restaurant spread like wildfire.

In her post, she showed a screenshot of WhatsApp messages from one of her friends who allegedly witnessed them kissing. The friend was employed as a hostess at the same establishment.
