Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas only broke up about a month ago, so when news broke that she was already seeing former One Direction member Zayn Malik, it made sense that Jonas would be a little bitter about the whole thing. But, now it turns out her friends aren't too happy about her new man, either.
"Her friends do not quite understand what the attraction is," an insider told E! News. "He is not her usual type, he doesn't share her sense of humor or ease with people [and] he's a little more self-aware and awkward." The insider also added that it seems weird the model would go after someone who doesn't necessarily roll with her same group of friends since she "could date anyone she wants."
Rumors about the 20-year-old Victoria's Secret model and the 22-year-old former boy band member started when the two were seen cozying up in West Hollywood following the AMAs on Nov. 22. "It's a very new thing," a source said at the time, as HNGN previously reported. "They're just seeing where it goes." Since then, Jonas has unfollowed both Hadid and Malik on Twitter and has cleared his social media accounts of any evidence of the two.
Some may see this as immature, but others understand that it's hard to see someone you just recently broke up with already moving on to another relationship so quickly.
"Joe is doing well. He was a bit upset how fast Gigi went out in public with Zayn, but it is what it is at this point," a source told E! News. "He still has feelings for Gigi that won't just disappear overnight. They did love each other and he still has a love for Gigi. He is not looking to rush into another relationship though just yet. He is focusing on his music and new projects that are in the works. He has some great friends and family around so, like anything, he knows his feelings for Gigi will pass with time. He has many options of women, but he is a pretty picky guy."
This same source also mentioned how quickly they think Hadid rushed into things with Malik. "Her friends just want her to be happy, but feel she should be single for a bit," they added. "They loved Joe. They want Gigi to protect her heart though."
A different insider also explained how even though Hadid does like this "edge" that Malik has and the fact that he is different than Jonas, they do see some red flags. "Her friends think he has a bit of a bad boy attitude," the insider said. "So [they] want her to be careful. Gigi is a relationship girl and likes the company of a guy."
