Zayn Malik's 'When Love's Around' Lyrics Hint He Wants to Marry Gigi Hadid
Zayn Malik's album Nobody Is Listening came out at midnight, and the work as a whole offers an intimate look into Malik's psyche and relationship with Gigi Hadid, his longtime girlfriend
and the mother of his daughter. While many tracks focus on the journey Malik has been on in love and how things presently are, his collaboration with Syd, "When Love's Around," offers a look into how he envisions his future with the woman he loves.
"I need you in my life / Yeah, you could be my wifе for real / Only takes a woman / To show you what it means to lovе," Malik sings, seemingly about Hadid. Hadid and Malik first started dating in the fall of 2015. While they've had breakups since then, they most recently got back together at the end of 2019 and welcomed their first child in September 2020.
A source told E! in the days following their baby girl's arrival that becoming parents has brought Hadid and Malik closer.
"Zayn was very emotional when their baby girl was born," E!'s source said in September. "It was an emotional and special moment for him. He expressed that he is forever changed and would never disappoint her or Gigi. He wants to be the best father possible and is so excited."
The source added that he and Hadid, who had been on-and-off in the past, were "in the best place right now."
A month later in October, Us Weekly echoed that reporting. “Zayn and Gigi’s relationship is better than ever—their communication, the time they spend together,” the magazine's source said. “They’ve never looked happier.”
For Malik's birthday this week, Hadid shared a gushing tribute to her boyfriend, offering a rare, public look into their life now. "Team No Sleep !" she wrote to him. "Happiest birthday to our Zaddy baba. So special. Love you long time, thank you for makin me a mamma to the best girl ever ☺️ Wish you the best every single day."
