Zayn explained that his understanding of love has shifted as he’s grown up. “You look back at it with new eyes and you’re like, ‘Well, maybe I wasn’t in love there,’” he said.
“Was it love or is it life experience that we are going through? Who knows. We’re just in situations where we look back at them with different eyes and it’s a completely different situation.”
Gigi isn’t the only celebrity that Zayn has dated. He was engaged to Perrie Edwards of Little Mix, though the called off their relationship in 2015. He also sparked relationship rumors with Selena Gomez in 2023.
