News of the couple's split has arrived after TMZ reported that sources close to Yolanda had revealed that the singer "struck" her. Malik shared a statement on October 28, "adamantly" denying the accusation and expressing he didn't want their family's private matter to be leaked to the press.
Zayn and Gigi have both refrained from addressing that they split up, but the publication shared that they've been apart for a while.
Fans of Zayn and Gigi are devastated at the singer's mention of co-parenting and are upset at Hadid's mother for causing them to break up. The couple has been highly protective of their daughter and has stayed away from showing her to the public. Gigi's mother, Yolanda, however, has previously released Khai's photos against their wishes which at the time caused an argument between the trio.
Fans are convinced that Yolanda Hadid is making false claims to drive a wedge between the much-loved couple.

"Yolanda is a sick woman for taking a photo of Gigi & Zayn’s baby, and leaking it to the press. She cares more about publicity than keeping her grandchild safe.." added another.
"Yolanda is a toxic woman, no wonder the Weekend dipped form that toxic family I fear for dua lipa..." a user shared.
"Yolanda Hadid has ruined her own daughter's little family for clout and attention!!!"

In his statement shared to Twitter, Zayn said that he wanted to create "a place where private family matters aren't thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart," reinforcing that the private incident "was and still should be a private matter."
