TikTok user @klarissa.mpeg also shared a text change from a friend of hers who claimed they were Zayn and Selena’s hostess at a restaurant. The user explained that both she and her friend both work at celebrity-favorite restaurants. “Tell me how Selena Gomez and Zayn just walked into [restaurant] hand in hand making out and I seated them,” the friend wrote. The date also came weeks after Selena followed Zayn on Instagram. (At the time of the dinner, Selena was also one of 18 accounts Zayn followed.)
In the 2010s,Selenawas asked on a red carpet about which One Direction she’d most want to kiss. “Oh no,” she said before quickly answering, “Zayn,” with a laugh.In an interview withInStyle UKin 2016, Selena denied rumors she was dating Zayn. “If he had asked me out on a date, I would be seen with him. Just kidding, but not kidding,” she said.
Hours before the news of their split, Zayn took to his Twitter to explain his situation with Yolanda. In his tweet, he referred to Gigi as his “partner” and explained that his “argument” with Yolanda started after she “entered” their home while Gigi was away without Zayn knowing. “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,” he wrote. “A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of a partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”
He continued, “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. 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.”

Gigi talked about co-parenting with the singer during an interview withThe Sunday Times.Hadid told the publication that they always keep Khai’s “happiness at the forefront” of their minds. “You have a long life alongside this person,” Hadid said. “That she can be with both parents makes me very happy.” When it comes to her busy work schedule, Hadid noted that she tries to schedule her modeling jobs and other business-related trips “when Khai is with her dad.”
Hadid also shared that Khai has inherited “little bits” of Malik’s British upbringing. “She’s clearly a child who was grown in my stomach eating a lot of British food—breakfast, beans, curries. And she still eats like that,” she said. “She even says some words with a little [English] accent, which I love.”
On September 19, 2022, Gigi posted a birthday cake for her little one, Khai, on herInstagram story. She captioned the story, “Our angel girl turned 2 today.” She tagged Carlos Bakery who made the Peppa Pig-themed birthday cake and she also tagged her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik.

He doesn’t jump around hooking up. They are taking it slow.”
