One Direction's Zayn Malik engaged to fellow British pop star Perrie Edwards

LONDON -- One Direction has one less eligible bachelor.

Band member Zayn Malik is engaged to Perrie Edwards of the group Little Mix. They're both 20.

Edwards was spotted wearing a diamond ring Tuesday at One Direction film premiere "This Is Us" in London.

Edwards' mother, Debbie, confirmed Wednesday that her daughter and Malik were engaged. She told Real Radio: "It's true. They got engaged on Sunday and it's absolutely lovely."

Columbia Records confirmed in a statement that "Zayn and Perrie are engaged, but any further detail regarding their relationship is private."

Like boy band One Direction, the all-female Little Mix formed on British TV talent show "The X Factor," winning the competition in 2011. One Direction placed third in 2010, but went on to top charts around the world.
