Did Zayn Malik join a dating app for ‘curvy people’ after Gigi Hadid breakup?

Left or right, he’s apparently swiping one direction.

Zayn Malik allegedly signed up for a dating app where he could meet “big beautiful women” following his latest breakup from Gigi Hadid.

A man who appears to be the “Pillowtalk” singer, 29, was seen on the app WooPlus in a video that has been circling the internet.

The clip shows a guy who looks just like Malik — except with a full beard — taking part in an emoji challenge. The name on the profile is “Zed,” and his location is tagged as Ottsville, Philadelphia. (Malik lived in Pennsylvania while dating Hadid.)

WooPlus is a “dating app for curvy people to find and enjoy love,” according to its website.

“An inclusive lifestyle choice for curvy people to feel attractive, confident, and loved for who they are. Love is at the core of everything we do,” the site reads. “WooPlus is the best online dating app for big beautiful women (BBW), big handsome men (BHM), and all people who love plus-size singles.”

In order to make an account on the app, users must verify their identity via facial recognition technology, which made fans believe even more that it’s a legit profile.

A rep for WooPlus could not confirm if Malik has an account with the app, telling Page Six on Wednesday, “Due to the terms and policy of WooPlus, we cannot confirm any information regarding it. We are dedicated to managing a privacy-secure environment for each user.”

The spokesperson added, “We’d be thrilled to have Zayn Malik in our inclusive dating community if he did join and we find it absolutely common that a lot of people appreciate the beauty of plus size women, which we think there’s no need to make a fuss about it.”

Malik has spoken openly about his love for “fuller” women, telling Billboard in 2016, “I like girls that are a bit chunky in certain areas — the nice areas. I like a fuller woman.”

The former One Direction member is on the prowl for new love after being accused of hitting Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, in September 2021, leading to yet another breakup for the on-again, off-again couple. He has denied the claims.

The singer and the model’s split came one year after they welcomed a daughter named Khai in September 2020. The exes had been dating on and off since 2015.

Malik’s rep did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
