Former One Direction member turned solo artist, Zayn Malik, has always been known for his sultry voice and bad boy image. However, in a recent interview, the singer opened up about his love life and revealed that he’s actually quite the gentleman.
Malik admitted to living a life similar to the steamy novel “Fifty Shades of Grey,” but clarified that his relationships have always been based on mutual respect and consent. He emphasized the importance of treating women with respect and said that he’s never been one to objectify them.
The singer also shared details about how he won over supermodel girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. According to Malik, he initially tried to play it cool when he first met her, but eventually realized that being upfront and honest was the best approach. He said that he never played games or tried to manipulate her, but instead focused on building a genuine connection.
During an interview, Zayn Malik was asked about how he asked out his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. In response, Malik stated that he simply asked her out on a date while they were both in New York. Although he didn’t reveal all the details, he mentioned that they met and spoke before going on a date. The singer emphasized that a gentleman never tells the full story, but the rest is history.
Later in the conversation, Malik was questioned about his own sexual life and whether he and Hadid were inspired by the characters Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in “Fifty Shades of Grey.” When the male host mentioned that he has “lived the movie in real life,” Malik responded positively, stating that he liked the idea. A video of the interview is available for viewing.

Malik’s approach to love and relationships is refreshing in a world where toxic masculinity and objectification of women are unfortunately all too common. The singer’s emphasis on respect, consent, and honesty is a great reminder that being a gentleman never goes out of style.
