Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik split ‘after he accused her mom of leaking their pregnancy’ as Yolanda claims ‘singer hit her’
GIGI Hadid and Zayn Malik’s split was caused by “tension” which first stemmed from the singer allegedly accusing Yolanda of “leaking” the couple’s pregnancy news last year, a source exclusively told The Sun.
Just hours before their break-up became public, Yolanda Hadid allegedly claimed the One Direction singer “struck” her during an argument - which he has since .

The parents to one-year-old daughter, Khai, called it quits “with the intention of getting back together,” the source said.
“They've broken up multiple times before so when it comes to them getting back together, never say never.
“But they definitely need time apart, it's what's best for everyone involved,” the insider added.
As for what led to the split, the source claimed: "Tension really started between Yolanda and Zayn last year when he suspected she was the one who leaked their pregnancy news in the first place.
“Gigi and Zayn didn't want to announce it publicly until after Gigi gave birth. With lockdown, it was the perfect time to give them that privacy they never would have had otherwise.
“They were so grateful for that privacy and they were very upset when it came out. Zayn is a very, very private person and while dating him, Gigi has become a lot more private too."
The source claimed Zayn feels Yolanda does not have the "same sense of privacy" which has led to the two "clashing."
“They also have very different parenting styles and both are extremely stubborn when it comes to Khai," they added.

Prior to Zayn, 28, and Gigi, 26, publicly revealing they were expecting their first child together in April of last year, Yolanda, 57, “liked” social media posts that discussed the pregnancy speculation.
The Dutch supermodel also told a Netherlands broadcasting station, : “Of course we are so excited. I am excited to become Oma in September especially after I lost my mom so recently,” which solidified the news.
A rep for Yolanda did not respond to The Sun’s request for comment.
Gigi and Zayn welcomed their daughter, Khai, in September 2020 after five years of on-again-off-again dating.
The source explained that Gigi feels she is “in the middle” of the drama between her mother and her baby daddy - while insisting she is “not on anyone’s side.”
FAMILY FEUD
“That's her mom and the father of her child so it's a tough spot, she has loyalty to both. She's doing her best but Khai is and will always be her #1 priority.
“Gigi's tried and tried to mediate [Yolanda and Zayn’s] relationship but they just don't see eye-to-eye.
“She realized it was healthier for her to not be with Zayn right now. It was ultimately her who ended the relationship,” the informant said.
It emerged on Friday that Zayn had been charged with crimes against Gigi and Yolanda.
The Sun later confirmed Zayn was charged on Wednesday with four counts of "Harassment - Course of Conduct W/No Legitimate Purpose" from the incident.
On Thursday, first reported that Yolanda is accusing Zayn of “striking” her during an “argument” last week on her ranch in Pennsylvania.
While there are not yet details of what triggered the alleged assault, the outlet confirmed Yolanda "stands by her account" of Zayn "striking" her.
The former X Factor contestant flat-out denied becoming violent during his interaction.
He told the publication: "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.”
On Thursday morning, the I Don't Wanna Live Forever crooner posted a similar statement about the claims on Twitter - and how this "is and still should be" a private family matter.
'THIS IS A PRIVATE MATTER'
He wrote in a Notes app message: “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.
“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 my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”
The British pop star 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.
