Gigi Hadid's friends don't approve of romance with Malik?

Los Angeles: Supermodel Gigi Hadid's friends have reportedly not given their approval to her new boyfriend Zayn Malik.

The 20-year-old model's closest friends just do not understand what she sees Malik and fear the former One Direction star is bad news, reported E!Online.

"Her friends do not quite understand what the attraction is. He is not her usual type, he doesn't share her sense of humour or ease with people (and) he's a little more self-aware and awkward," a source said.

Just a few days ago, Hadid took to her Twitter account to defend her new romance after a number of photographs emerged of her and Malik holding hands on a date night.
