Rebecca Totes Loves Zayn

Age ain't nothing but a number for these two.

Rebecca Ferguson and Zayn Malik are definitely an item.

And the 24-year-old former X Factor contestant has opened up about her love for the 18-year-old.

She just can't help gushing about him.

Talking to OK! magazine, she admitted the depth of her feelings for the One Direction crooner: "Sometimes when the right person comes along, you just drop your guard. He's a very sweet person with a very kind heart

"I didn't even know Zayn liked me but apparently he had done for a very long time, but nobody told me. I was the last person to find out."

The mother-of-two says that her kids get on with the teenager really well and has admitted to Reveal magazine that Lillie May and Karl got to know him throughout the filming of X Factor.

She said: "My kids were with me right from the start of things on the programme so they had always known Zayn."

Before Zayn, she dated Karl Dures, who's the father of her children.

She said: "Karl was my first love. It was a surprise when Lillie May came along and it was hard to deal with, but a lot of young girls are in that situation.

"It doesn't ruin your life. It was hard splitting from Karl because I think you should always try to stay together when you've got children. It's not easy being a single mum but I have a very good, civil relationship with Karl. He lives locally and is an active father."

And watch out, Zayn, because Rebecca added that there could be more kids and even wedding bells in her future.

"I'd definitely like more kids when I'm older. And I think I'm like every woman in that I'd like to get married one day."
