At first Twitter followers thought it was just a very awkward exchange of tweets between Victoria Secret model Gigi Hadid and former One Direction star Zayn Malik but it could just be a tease for the singer's "Pillowtalk" music video release.

It was a rare moment to see Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik interact with each other on Twitter but they made it adorable and awkward for followers to watch following the release of Zayn's debut solo and single.

The awkward flirting online started with Zayn's Twitter handle @zaynmalik:

"@GigiHadid you seen the video babe ? Someone's Looking"

To which Hadid replied with:

"nah musta missed it. Jokes... I wasn't looking at myself, trust me"

This colorful exchange teases fans into thinking that the two celebrities could be in a relationship with each other or maybe it was a very specific post-video PR for the single that has already been seen by millions of fans. It has been rumored that Hadid is Zayn's girlfriend and that both have been dating since November of last year but Malik has publicly referred to Hadid as his "friend" which contradicts sightings of Hadid wearing his initial pendant around her neck and Malik as her phone's screen saver.

But fans don't seem to mind. Even the awkward flirting on Twitter did not steer the fans away. Whether the two are really dating or not, the music video is a hit.

In the "Pillowtalk" video, it shows that Hadid and Malik both look like they are more than just friends with all that hugging and kissing in very close proximity.

The steamy video that was released Friday last week has already been viewed over two million times on YouTube. Check the video out below:

Previously, Zayn shared his joy for Tomlinson's new family arrival, Freddie Reign, saying the baby is cute.
