“Kendall introduced Gigi to Zayn when she was dating Harry. It wasn’t until Kylie’s big birthday bash that they really hit it off. Zayn didn’t know very many people at the party and spent most of his time with Kendall and Gigi. Kendall was the one who played Cupid. It’s all very new, but they are both really into each other,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Kendall threw herself a huge birthday party at The Nice Guy restaurant in West Hollywood, California on Nov. 2. And it was there that Zayn and Gigi really hit things off. And it’s a good thing Taylor Swift didn’t go because we can imagine she wouldn’t have liked seeing Gigi and Zayn together. If you recall, Taylor’s boyfriend, Calvin Harris, got into a heated Twitter feud with Zayn not too long ago. And now, Taylor’s BFF is reportedly dating Zayn. While we absolutely love the idea of this new pairing, we can imagine Taylor won’t be so thrilled.

Either way, good for Kendall for setting her friends up with each other. Both recently went through heartbreaking splits — Gigi with Joe Jonas and Zayn with ex-fiancee Perrie Edwards. So this new relationship is probably like a breath of fresh air for both stars.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you like Gigi and Zayn as a couple?
