Meanwhile, Zayn had his own on-off romance with Gigi Hadid, with whom he shares a two-year-old daughter named Khai.
News of their latest breakup broke in October 2021 in the midst of Zayn’s explosive feud with Gigi’s reality star mom, Yolanda Hadid.
Zayn and Yolanda got into an altercation in September and while he denied the claims of physical violence, he did not contest four charges of harassment.
He was barred from contact with Yolanda or the security guard who saw the fight, and had to complete an anger management course and 360 days of probation.
The fight reportedly started when Yolanda entered Gigi and Zayn’s house in Pennsylvania without Zayn’s permission while Gigi was in Paris for work.
Zayn was accused of shoving Yolanda into a powder room and calling her a “fuckin’ Dutch shit,” demanding that she stay away from the baby.
It was also claimed that he called Gigi and told her: “Put on some fucking balls and defend your partner from your fucking mother in my house.”
