Malik posted on Twitter that the dispute should have remained a "private matter".
The One Direction Star was apparently upset after allegedly accusing Yolanda of “leaking” the couple’s pregnancy news in 2020, a source exclusively told The Sun.
The source said: "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 added: “They also have very different parenting styles and both are extremely stubborn when it comes to Khai."
Prior to Zayn, 28, and Gigi, 26, publicly revealing they were expecting their first child together in April 2020, Yolanda, 57, “liked” social media posts that discussed the pregnancy speculation.
