Fans of Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid were sent into a frenzy after claims the pair had tied the knot started trending on Twitter.
The couple have been dating on and off since 2015 and welcomed their first child, a daughter called Khai, in September last year.
Zayn, 28, and Gigi, 25, are known for being pretty private when it comes to their relationship and fans were left questioning whether they had wed in secret, after Ingrid Michaelson – who teamed up with Zayn on her track To Begin Again – seemed to suggest they had during a livestream.
Speaking about the track, Ingrid revealed that she and Zayn never actually met in person, despite both featuring on the song.
‘We’ve never met, I’ve never spoken to him. Zayn doesn’t do stuff he doesn’t wanna do, and the fact that he did this song is very flattering,’ Ingrid said.
‘He’s such a private person and now he’s married and has a child so, he does the things he wants to do.’
Naturally, fans ran with Ingrid’s comments and news Zayn could be married took over Twitter.
‘HELLO??? I JUST WOKE UP WHY IS EVERYONE SAYINF ZAYN IS MARRIED,’ tweeted one shocked fan.
‘ZAYN IS MARRIED????? U JUST OPENED TWITTER WTF IS GOING ON,’ another confused fan posted, as another said: ‘i leave twitter for a while just to come back to zayn is married trending.’
However, Ingrid soon cleared up speculation Zayn and Gigi had tied the knot and confessed she had slipped up.
Taking to her Instagram story, Ingrid set the record straight in attempt to calm fans, as she said: ‘Ok, so I talked about my new song featuring Zayn on my Patreon livestream and i might have said he was married, I was wrong.

‘He is not married. All of you Zayn fans I’m so sorry to have brought you on this rollercoaster of emotions, I was mistaken. He’s not married, I’m so sorry.’
In her original livestream, Ingrid said that she ‘hopes to meet’ Zayn in person one day, after not getting the chance to for their collaboration.
She said: ‘Luckily he wanted to do To Begin Again. I hope we do meet one day so I can thank him in person, but I will respect his private ways because I feel very fortunate so many people are hearing it that would have never heard it without him lending his gorgeous voice to it.’
It comes after Zayn was seen recently opening up about how he is finding fatherhood.
Praising model Gigi for being a ‘wicked mum’, Zayn said he is surprised at how ‘easily’ he has adjusted to his parenting duties.
‘I didn’t expect to be so into it. Before she was born, I was always into myself,’ he told iHeart Radio. ‘I had time for my relationship but it was still solely about me.’
Zayn continued: ‘The fact that Khai has been so easy to adjust to has been surprising to me because I just love spending my days with her, hanging out with her, just doing really relaxing chill stuff.’
Gigi confirmed news she and Zayn were expecting a baby together in May last year – just months after getting back together, following a brief split in 2019.
