Gigi Hadid is reportedly reeling after comments made by her ex, Zayn Malik, about their past relationship. The former couple dated on and off for six years. They share a daughter and have largely kept details of their split private. But after Malik recently reflected on their romance in a candid podcast interview, a source claims Hadid was left “blindsided.” According to insiders, the remarks have stirred emotions behind the scenes, especially given the pair’s shared history and co-parenting dynamic.
Gigi Hadid was ‘completely blindsided’ by Zayn Malik’s comments on Call Her Daddy podcast, per source
During an appearance on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Malik reflected on his evolving understanding of love. Speaking about past relationships, he said that while he may have believed he was in love at the time, he now questions whether it was “love” or something else. Referring to Hadid, he clarified, “I will always love G, because she is the reason my child is on this Earth.” He added that he doesn’t believe he was “in love” during their relationship.
According to a source cited by The Sun, Hadid was “completely blindsided” by the remarks. The insider further alleged that there had been an “unwritten rule” between the former couple not to publicly discuss one another in detail. The source also claimed that Hadid’s inner circle views the comments as “unnecessary and pathetic” particularly given that the pair share a five-year-old daughter, Khai. “To even suggest that their daughter was not the product of a loving relationship is cruel beyond words,” the insider added.
Malik and Hadid dated on and off for six years before ending their relationship in 2021. Their split allegedly followed an altercation between Malik and Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, per The Daily Mail. At the time, Malik pleaded no contest to harassment charges and completed probation and anger management requirements. He later described the situation as a private “family issue.” Malik said he handled it in what he believed was “the best way” for his daughter.
In contrast to the recent podcast comments, Hadid has previously spoken about their co-parenting arrangement in measured terms. In a past interview with Vogue, she said they coordinate custody schedules in advance. They approach parenting with “love” and mutual respect. She also emphasized that their focus remains on raising Khai away from unnecessary public scrutiny.
