Zayn Malik: Single and Not Dating Apps

Zayn Malik, 33, confirmed he is not currently in a romantic relationship during a recent "Call Her Daddy" appearance on February 11, 2026. He shared that while he has friends, he is not actively dating anyone.

Malik reflected on his past decade in the public eye, having relationships with Perrie Edwards and Gigi Hadid, with whom he shares daughter Khai. He expressed finding freedom in being single and enjoying his own company, stating he is not codependent.

The singer found dating apps ineffective, noting his profile picture was not professional and that he will likely avoid them going forward. Fatherhood with Khai means his focus is on his daughter when not working, making dating difficult.

He also detailed a cautious approach to introducing new partners to Khai, stating it would only happen in a "really serious" relationship, potentially before marriage, to avoid emotional pressure on his daughter.
