One Direction's Zayn Malik gets engaged — plus other romantic rumblings...

This will likely break the hearts of millions of teen girls around the globe, but One Direction band member Zayn Malik is engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards.

According to Edwards’ mother, Malik popped the question on Sunday. Edwards showcased her new engagement ring Tuesday at the London premiere of Morgan Spurlock’s “One Direction: This Is Us,” the upcoming documentary about the boy band sensation, opening in the U.S. on Aug. 30.

†There’s also word that the renewed romance between John Mayer and Katy Perry continues to be going strong — so much so that Life & Style quotes a source claiming Mayer will be giving his lady love an engagement ring by Christmas.

A B.Z. source close to Perry agreed the relationship “is going very well. … They are truly crazy about each other, and John has proven to Katy that she’s the one.

“But I don’t think an engagement will be coming quite as soon as Christmas. … After the collapse of her marriage to Russell Brand, Katy is going to make very sure before she marries again.”
