Kendall Jenner and Zayn Malik have both had quite the year! Jenner's spotlight has soared into superstardom, while Malik has opted to leave the spotlight of boy band One Direction to pursue living a "normal life" with fiancée Perrie Edwards. However, Malik has dumped Edwards and signed a new record deal with RCA to return to the spotlight, and rumors are running that he has his eye on Jenner -- are these two the latest couple?
The 22-year-old former 1D member took to his Twitter account on July 29 to post photos of him elatedly signing contracts to join RCA Records as a solo artist and less than a week later, news broke that he had dumped the "Little Mix" member.
Meanwhile, it seems that the 19-year-old model may have a thing for older men, as she had been linked to dating 30-year-old Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton for months earlier in the year. Hollywood Life reported the pair was going on double dates with celebrity friends Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas, but neither confirmed if they were more than just party pals.
Models and musicians typically pair up; now that Malik is ditching "normal life" for one, filled with a little more glitz and glamour as a solo singer with RCA, who better to date than one of the most quick rising models like Jenner? -- just look at Chrissy Teigen and John Legend or her own bestie, Hadid and Jonas. Sites like New-Magazine and Unreality TV are already taking bets of the odds that the two are the next famous couple, and the odds are in their favor!
Rumors are spreading that Malik broke up with Edwards after being engaged for a year, due to her urgency to set a wedding date. Neither one of the former lovebirds are talking about what exactly led to their split.
With Malik and Jenner's careers both heating up, they could just be out to have a little fun together amidst their busy schedules. Malik could even mix work with pleasure by featuring Jenner in a music video from his upcoming album he is working on. Whichever way they decide to show that they are an item, we will just have to wait and see.
