“Zayn has a huge crush on Kylie,” an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He thinks she is absolutely the sexiest girl in the world and is always checking out her Snapchat videos. He was into her even while he was still with Perrie! They met once a while ago through Harry [Styles] and Kendall [Jenner], but she was young and it was very brief. Since then, she’s grown into an incredibly stunning girl, and Zayn has definitely noticed!”

While Zayn is recently single, he broke up with fiancé Perrie Edwards, 22, over text message two weeks ago, Kylie is still in a serious relationship with her boyfriend, Tyga, 25. But if anything happened between the controversial couple, wouldn’t Zayn and Kylie be the HOTTEST new pair?! Kylie already follows the former One Direction member on Twitter, and has been for a while, so she’s definitely been able to keep tabs on him.

Got something exciting coming soon : )!”
