‘Zayn is married’ trends after singer Ingrid Michaelson says so… but later admits she was ‘mistaken’

The phrase Zayn is married trended online Monday – hinting at a possible union between singer Zayn Malik and supermodel Gigi Hadid – after Ingrid Michaelson, an artist Malik has collaborated with, mistakenly claimed they were during a Patreon stream.

Michaelson, a 41-year-old singer-songwriter, made the misleading claim as she talked about how she and Malik didn’t meet or talk amid their collaboration on the track and video for To Begin Again.

‘We’ve never met, I’ve never spoken to him,’ she said. ‘Zayn doesn’t do stuff he doesn’t wanna do, and the fact that he did this song is very flattering.

‘He’s such a private person and now he’s married and has a child so, he does the things he wants to do.’

The remark spurred on speculation that the Malik, 28, and Hadid, 25, who share daughter Khai, had exchanged vows.

Michaelson later took to social media to correct the claim in response to a GIF a fan posted about the trending topic.

‘I MADE A MISTAKE IM SORRY BUT ALSO I LOVE THAT LEOPARD PRINT COFFIN BLANKET,’ she said.

In a subsequent set of filtered Instagram Stories posts, she clarified her mistake on the celebrity couple’s status.

‘I might have said he was married, I was wrong – he is not married,’ she said. ‘So all of you Zayn fans, I am so sorry to have brought you on this roller coaster of emotions, I was mistaken he’s not married I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.’

She later joked, ‘My words don’t have any meaning people – just ignore me.’

Speculation about the pair’s marital status was stimulated earlier this year after the release of his track When Love’s Around, which made allusions to a possible marriage between the celebs, who first began dating in 2015.

Lyrics in the song included, ‘I need you in my life / Yeah, you could be my wife for real.’
