Zayn Malik's sister gushes over his fiancee Perrie Edwards: 'She's a really nice girl'

Happy couple Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards are yet to get married but the Little Mix singer has already been welcomed to the family by the former One Direction singer's sister.

In her first ever interview, Doniya Malik told the BBC's Asian Network that she is "happy" that Edwards, 21, is set to marry her younger brother.

Fashion blogger Doniya said: "Perrie's pretty cool, she's a really nice girl, she's really friendly, very easy to get on with, down to earth so I'd say [my relationship with her is] just how it is with my sisters.

"[I'm] very happy [she'll be my sister in law] – she's a very nice girl."

Doniya's comments appear to suggest that the pop star couple have not tied the knot yet, despite recent reports claiming they are already married.

Heat magazine gathered so-called evidence from social media that Malik, 22, and the Wings singer had walked down the aisle in secret, including photos of the ex 1D star appearing to wear a ring on his wedding finger at the 2015 Asian awards.

Edwards' best friend, Cara Swan, is also said to have hinted at a hen do, which many believed to have been held for the X Factor winner.

Several photos also emerged of Malik partying with his former bandmates, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, which hinted at a stag party for the husband-to-be.

In April, it was claimed that the engaged couple were planning to host their big day at Disneyland Paris in June with both said to be huge fans of the theme park.

The couple got engaged in August 2013 after the Story Of My Life singer popped the question in front of their families at home. The news was revealed when Edwards wore her engagement ring to the premiere of One Direction's concert movie in London.
