Here's Why Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik Won't Be Getting Back Together Anytime Soon
If you’re a Gigi Hadid-and-Zayn Malik shipper, there’s a good chance you were heartbroken to hear that they broke up for the second time in January. Although they never confirmed the split themselves, it seemed pretty clear based on their social media accounts that the relationship was over. But when the former One Direction singer tweeted “Love you” to the model earlier this month, fans were convinced the couple was going to get back together. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
A source told Us Weekly that “Gigi and Zayn still talk. She still has feelings for him, of course, but he has major issues and she knows they aren’t compatible. She’s still very single.”
Although it’s unclear exactly what “issues” they’re referring to, apparently Hadid “tried hard to make it work” and reportedly “cut herself off from all her friends every time they were together” so she could “focus all her time and energy on him.” In the end, the publication reports, it just became too much for her, and the pair decided to call it quits. A source also told the outlet at the time of their January breakup that a reconciliation wasn’t going to happen this time around—probably. “They’re done,” the insider said. “They could get back together, but it’s over for now.”
The two broke up for the first time in March 2018, both issuing heartfelt statements to announce they’d gone their separate ways. Malik called his romance with Hadid “incredibly meaningful, loving, and fun,” while Hadid said she’s “forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons” that she and Malik shared during their three-year relationship.
They eventually reunited a few months later, confirming they were back together by posting a cuddly photo together on Instagram. Right now, it’s unclear what the future holds for Malik and Gigi; however, if you need a full relationship timeline—because let’s be honest, there’s a lot to cover—we’ve put a handy one together.
