So much for playing it cool!

Gigi Hadid has been dating Zayn Malik for about a year and a half, but still remembers when they first got together.

The 21-year-old model appeared on Friday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and opened up about meeting Malik at a friend's birthday party. Hadid also remembered getting excited that the 24-year-old singer would be at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in New York City that year, but then he didn't show up.

"We connected really quickly," she added. "We kind of have the same sense of humor, and just started sharing videos."
