American supermodel Gigi Hadid has reportedly ended her long term relationship with Zayn Malik over an argument between the singer and model’s mom Yolanda Hadid.
According to an American newspaper ‘People’ the couple “are not together right now”.
The source continued, “They are both good parents though. They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild.”
A rep for Hadid told People in a statement, “Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time”.
The source confirms of a break-up between Gigi and Malik, who also co-parent daughter Khai.
As per Yolanda Hadid claims, the singer struck her last week, and sources tell TMZ she’s considering filing a police report.
Following the allegations, Malik posted a comment on Twitter from his Notes app in which he neither denied striking Hadid nor offered any words of apology or remorse for the alleged incident.
“I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago,” Malik wrote. He expressed discontent that the allegation “has been ‘leaked’ to the press,” saying he wants his daughter, Khai, to live in “a place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart,” the caption read.
After sharing his Notes statement, the Pakistani-origin singer went on to deny the claims that he had agreed not to contest.
“I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private,” he told TMZ in a statement.
The duo has been in a relationship since November 2015 and has a 1-year-old daughter named Khai.
