'I'm really happy. When you both do the same kind of thing, there's more understanding because you both get it... and it's more exciting when you see each other,' says Perrie, 19, who's the same age as her boy.
The pair were first linked in November, with reports they'd shared a kiss backstage at The X Factor.
But it was only in April that they came clean about their relationship, Tweeting about a hot cinema date.
Perrie Tweeted: 'Just went to see Avengers Assemble and it was #boring. Good night, though! @zaynmalik.'
The hunk replied: 'Yeah, tonight was fun. Let's do it again some time xx.'
A few weeks later, on 9 May, Zayn was snapped sneaking out of Perrie's London pad after spending the night together.
He was seen carrying her suitcase as they left.
