The pic appears to be from early last month when the former One Direction singer dyed his hair light pink. Malik has since shaved his head and trimmed down his scruff.

The cute couple were first linked in November, and have played coy about their relationship. However, Zayn seemingly confirmed they were a couple in the beginning of February while talking with a radio show about Hadid's appearance in the music video for his solo single "Pillowtalk."
