Zayn Malik: Why Gigi Hadid ‘Inspired’ Him To Grow Out His Beard

Too cute! Gigi Hadid is the reason behind Zayn Malik’s sexy new facial hair! The supermodel totally ‘inspired’ her longtime beau to grow out his beard. We’ve got the EXCLUSIVE details on why she was in full support of him switching up his look!

Gigi Hadid, 21, definitely knows a thing or two about fashion and style, so of course she’d only give the best advice to her beau Zayn Malik! “She is the inspiration behind Zayn’s fuller beard,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She’s always liked his scruffy look but he constantly had to trim it and take care of it, so she suggested he just grow it out for a change. She absolutely loves his thicker beard. She thinks he looks ultra sexy and doesn’t mind the occasional beard burn from kissing.” Ooh la la!

Zayn and Gigi are definitely relationship goals these days, considering they have stuck by each other’s side through thick and thin! The former One Direction crooner even wrote his leading lady a sweet message via Instagram ahead of her NYFW debut. “Good luck tonight baby. You’re about to show the world your amazing GxTH collection. I am so proud. You are an inspiration. X,” Zayn tweeted on Sept. 9, before adding, “Watching my girl live. Everyone support.” He even sat front and center to watch his gorgeous girlfriend strut her stuff on the Tom Ford catwalk despite his struggles with severe anxiety!

Gigi has also done everything in her power to help Zayn overcome his fears. Aside from constantly giving him reassurance, she also texts him inspirational quotes to keep him motivated! What an amazing girlfriend. We’re so glad to see these two appearing to be stronger than ever, especially after rumors circulated that he was direct messaging a side-chick on Aug. 28. Zayn went the extra mile to prove to Gigi that he was being framed and he continues to work hard to keep her trust. Thankfully, the images didn’t seem to be real, and now they’re happy as can be!
