Zayn Malik confirms he and Gigi Hadid have split
Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have tonight confirmed that their relationship is over.
Zayn, 25, spoke out after a newspaper claimed they had called it a day, telling his fans that he wished the sad news had come from them first.
Although he does not give a reason for the break-up, in a statement released on Twitter, former One Direction star Zayn said: "Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend.
"She has such an incredible soul. I'm grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time, we wish the news could have come from us first. We love you all. xZ."
Minutes later, 22-year-old supermodel Gigi released her own statement.
She said: "Breakup statements often seem impersonal because there is really no way to put into words what two people experience together over a few years.. not only in the relationship, but in life in general.
"I'm forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. As for the future, whatever's meant to be will always be. xG."
Zayn and Gigi began dating more than two years ago and they never shied away from their feelings on social media.
Just last month, Gigi's mum Yolanda was gushing about how happy and in love her daughter was.
In an interview with Mail Online, Yolanda said: "When you raise your children, I hope I instilled the best in them to make the right choices and turn to me and say 'I love this man' then I'm going to love them too.
"This is their journey and I'm just here to support both of them as long as they make each other happy, working through things then I'm happy."
Describing how alike she and Zayn are, and how she takes him under her wing in the US, Yolanda added: "He's a beautiful human being from Bradford, England. He's from the same background that I'm from, him and I get along great and he's like a son to me. It's all good.
"He has no family here and he's so far away so I understand that life because I lived that life. I think that I'm just a momma to him."
But on Tuesday, a report in The Sun claimed Zayn and Gigi had "drifted apart" before calling time on their relationship earlier this month.
Blaming the break-up on work, a source told the newspaper: “They have crazy work schedules that would put pressure on any relationship.”
Hours later, Zayn and Gigi confirmed their sad news.
