One Direction's Zayn Malik 'Dating' Perrie Edwards (5 PICS)

Playing it cool: The couple emerged smiling but attempted to keep their distance when they spied photographers

After enjoying a cinema date recently it appears that One Direction’s Zayn Malik and Little Mix star Perrie Edwards enjoyed a sleepover last week.

The pop duo were seen leaving her London home early in the morning last Wednesday suggesting they may well have enjoyed an all-night rendezvous. 

Perrie, who has denied dating the boy band heartthrob in the past, was seen beaming at Zayn as the pair exited her house.

Meanwhile Zayn, 19, appeared in equally good spirits as he heading to a car carrying a bright pink suitcase. 

While they weren’t holding hands the sighting suggests the pair are more than just good friends. 

Both Zayn and Perrie have remained tight-lipped about their romance but it appears they have been spending more and more time together in recent weeks.

Late last month Perrie wrote on her Twitter: 'Just went to see avengers assemble and it was #boring. Good night though! xD @zaynmalik.'

The One Direction singer later tweeted: 'Yeah tonight was fun lets do it again sometime ;) x x'

Last December, Perrie came forward to deny reports that she was romancing Zayn.

The pair were linked when One Direction performed on The X Factor, which Little Mix won, back in November.

And talking about meeting Zayn and the former X Factor boy band, Perrie said: 'They were so nice and gave us loads of advice.

'But right now I haven't got the time for romance. It's all about the music, the tour and then the album.'

Perrie later said: 'Apparently we are dating. We met One Direction at the charity single and Jade is mates with them.

'We did text and I said thanks for the support. But, no, we didn't kiss.'

Can't wait to get home: Over the weekend Zayn was in Sweden with his band mates and he couldn't wait to see Perrie
