Things must be getting serious with Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid. Just a week after the Internet exploded with rumors suggesting that the two were dating, Hadid and Malik appear to have confirmed to the world that they could be more than friends.
The 20-year-old model and former One Direction bandmate were spotted together at The Nice Guy on Saturday evening in West Hollywood, Calif., and this time they were holding hands. The two left the trendy club around 2:30 a.m., with their fingers interlocked and hopped into a waiting car together, according to a video from TMZ.
Despite leaving together, TMZ reported that the two entered the eatery separately. Hadid flashed her toned abs in a black crop top and skinny black jeans, while Malik sported a black, long-sleeve V-neck shirt.
This recent outing is the third time that the two have been spotted eating out at The Nice Guy. Malik and Hadid were spotted leaving a party together following the American Music Awards on Nov. 22. Malik and Hadid were spotted there again on Tuesday, having dinner with Hadid's sister, Bella Hadid.
At the time, the two "couldn't keep their hands off each other" during dinner, a source told E! News. Another witness claimed that Malik and Hadid "sat next to each other and looked like a couple, laughing and having a good time."
"They were holding hands under the table, whispering in each other's ears, and Zayn [was] holding Gigi's leg," the source said. "Gigi was so attached to him that she even followed Zayn outside to the patio during a smoke break."
Despite the pictures and rumors, a source close to the recent Victoria's Secret runway model confirmed its too soon to start calling the two a "couple."
"They are just friends and are casually hanging out. She is not looking to jump into another relationship so soon," the source explained. "Gigi is a relationship-type kinda girl, but she wants to just have some fun and take time for herself and her career at the moment."
In early November, Hadid, who is the daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster, split from singer Joe Jonas after five months of dating. Hadid and Jonas reportedly split over their busy work schedules. In August, Malik called off his two-year engagement to former fiancée, Little Mix's Perrie Edwards, and has plans to launch a solo music career early next year.
