Why Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik Broke Up

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik’s almost six-year on-again, off-again romance had resumed, hours after rumors appeared saying Zayn had a feud with Gigi’s mother Yolanda, and Yolanda was claiming he “hit” her. (In a statement to TMZ, Zayn “adamantly” denied doing so.) In the hours after the separation, sources spoke to Entertainment Tonight and The Sun about why it happened—and how large of a role the Yolanda incident had in it. Their allegations come only days after Zayn pled not guilty to four counts of harassment against Gigi and Yolanda, according to TMZ.

“They are not together right now,” a Hadid family friend said, according to People, which broke the revelation based on information from various sources. They are, however, both excellent parents. They share parental responsibilities. Of course, Yolanda is very protective of Gigi. “She only wants the best for her granddaughter and daughter.”

“After the confrontation with Yolanda, Gigi and Zayn split up,” a source stated. “They’ve been co-parenting for a while, but they’re not together.” They tried all they could to make things work for their daughter, but it didn’t work.”

According to the site, Yolanda was a source of strain in their relationship since she “repeatedly showed up unexpectedly and uninvited,” which “lead to some tension between them, which Zayn sought to handle with his partner.” “Zayn felt that Yolanda was getting in the way,” another insider claimed, adding that the couple’s first focus is co-parenting their one-year-old daughter Khai. They’re “both highly dedicated to working together to co-parent Khai and love her with all of their hearts,” according to the statement.

Zayn’s problems with Yolanda, according to a source, have been going on for over a year. “Tension between Yolanda and Zayn really started last year when he felt she was the one who initially leaked their pregnancy news,” the person added. “Gigi and Zayn decided to keep it a secret until after Gigi had a baby. With lockdown in effect, it was the ideal opportunity to provide them with the seclusion they would not have had otherwise. They were glad for the seclusion and were disappointed when it was revealed. Zayn is a very private guy, and Gigi has become more private as a result of dating him.” According to one source, the split isn’t permanent. They broke up “with the idea of getting back together,” according to the insider. “They’ve split up before, so never say never when it comes to them getting back together.” But they both need time apart; it’s in everyone’s best interests.”

Gigi, who was caught in the between of her mother’s and on-again, off-again relationship troubles, took the decision to stop things, according to a source. “She feels allegiance to both her mother and the father of her kid, so it’s a difficult situation,” the insider stated. “She’s giving it her all, but Khai is and always will be her top priority.” Gigi has attempted several times to resolve [Yolanda and Zayn’s] conflict, but they just do not see eye to eye. She understood it was better for her right now not to be with Zayn. She was the one who ended the relationship in the end.”

Entertainment Gigi’s difficult situation was also discussed tonight. “Yolanda has been telling her friends and family that Zayn has struck her,” a source stated. “Yolanda is unhappy, and it’s causing problems with Zayn and Gigi.” Because Gigi was not there at the time of the occurrence, she has had to hear all sides.”

“Gigi is totally focused on the best for Khai,” a spokeswoman for Gigi said in a statement following reports of Zayn and Yolanda’s reported feud. During this moment, she requests privacy.”
