More Breakup Rumors & Rekindling

By the autumn and winter of 2019, it looked like Gigi and Zayn were back together…again. The couple never outrightly confirmed their romance. By January 2020, there were more signs that the two were dating once again when they were spotted around New York City and even seen wrapping their arms around one another. On Valentine’s Day 2020, Gigi finally confirmed that the two were indeed back on. With the two going steady, the couple’s biggest announcement was yet to come.
Gigi Announces She’s Pregnant
After reports and fan speculation circulated following Gigi’s 25th birthday that the young model was expecting her first child, she finally confirmed the news! “Obviously, we wished we could have announced it on our own terms, but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well-wishes and support,” Gigi shared during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “It’s a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it day by day.”
From that moment on, Gigi and Zayn essentially hid themselves from photographers. The couple rarely posted on social media, and it wasn’t until after Gigi gave birth that she shared images from different points in her pregnancy. Although, there were a few snapshots that fans simply fawned over, including one with her younger sister Bella Hadid. At this point, the couple also moved into an apartment in New York City, their first family home!

Near the end of September, Gigi and Zayn officially embarked on a brand new chapter! The couple welcomed their precious baby girl and they were absolutely ecstatic to share the news with their legions of fans and supporters. Of course, the couple disclosed that they had actually welcomed their daughter just about a week before their announcement, and enjoyed some privacy before sharing the news. Since then, the newly-minted parents have made a concerted effort to maintain their daughter’s privacy and not expose her to the world.

If welcoming their daughter in the fall of 2020 opened up a new chapter for the two, then 2021 was an official fresh start for the longtime couple. Zayn and Gigi quietly celebrated the singer’s birthday in January, and have shown no signs of calling it quits anytime soon. Fans are so happy to see Gigi and Zayn going strong, and we cannot wait to see their romance continue to flourish!
Zayn Denies ‘Striking’ Gigi’s Mother Yolanda
On Oct. 28, it was reported that Zayn allegedly ‘struck’ Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, per TMZ. The singer, however, released a statement denying the claim.
“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 said in a statement to the news outlet.
He also issued a statement on social media. “As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart,” the former One Direction singer penned. “In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”
“This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press,” he added. “I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and more importantly I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves.”
