Zayn Malik on Perrie Edwards romance: 'Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder'

One Direction heartthrob Zayn Malik has opened up about his relationship with Little Mix beauty Perrie Edwards and how they make it work with such busy individual schedules.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine in a brand new interview, the 'Best Song Ever' hitmaker explained that it's tough to be apart so much although the distance does help keep the spark alive:

"If you don’t get to see your girlfriend 24/7, when you do get to see her you really make the most of it. Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder."

Over the weekend, Edwards told Yahoo! OMG that she is a fan of the tattoo Malik had done of her on his arm: "It must be love to be honest. When I'm away from him, I guess he can just take a look at his arm and remind him of me. So it's a lovely compliment really. I love it, it's lovely. Yeah, it's a cartoon version of me so it's a little caricature so it's cool."
