Fans of One Direction's Zayn Malik were left confused after news broke saying that he got secretly married to his fiancé Perrie Edwards.

The pop singer's Instagram photo recently went viral after many people thought that he had already tied the knot with his Little Mix fiancé, Perrie Edwards. The controversial photo of the boy band member shows him shirtless with a ring on his finger. Rumors claim that what appears to be on his finger is actually his wedding ring.

Fans became discouraged as they feel they were not given the chance to see any wedding photos or even given any information about it. While Zayn Malik has been engaged with Edwards for the last year now, fans had to know that there was a chance something like this could happen. Again, many One Directions fans were left shocked as they heard news that Malik has been officially taken by Edwards.

However, the 1D member's representatives denied the rumors saying that Malik has not secretly married Edwards. According to Daily Mail, the rep said that what's seen in the Instagram photo is just his engagement ring, not his wedding ring.

Even though the couple are not married as of yet, recent reports show how in love the two really are with each other. Recent reports make claims about the lavish amount the 1D member spent for Edwards' 21^st birthday. Rumor has it that he spent $15K - $85K on a party attended by their close friends and family.
