Zayn Malik Tweeted 'Love You' to Gigi Hadid, and Twitter Had a Meltdown
Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid reportedly broke up back in January, but whether things are over-over between them or not is still a little TBD (not that, you know, they have to define their status for us). On Saturday, for example, he dropped her an L-bomb on Twitter, writing, “@GiGiHadid love you.”
Hadid, who is currently out and about at Paris Fashion Week, didn’t respond (models gotta model). In the meantime, Twitter exploded as it tried to figure out if whether Malik’s missive actually indicated that the on-again, off-again couple has rekindled their relationship—although the only way to be sure would be if one of them confirmed it. They have a habit of keeping things ambiguous; at one point, Malik had shared that they didn’t believe they need to define things for anyone. “We’re adults. We don’t need to put a label on it, make it something for people’s expectations,” he told GQ.
Regardless, the little outreach from Malik sparked a virtual storm:
The couple’s relationship is hard to follow, so there’s a full timeline if you need to catch up. Basically, however, they dated for about three years after getting together in 2015. But in 2018, they released some of the world’s most civil break-up statements, announcing that they’d gone their separate ways.
“Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and friend,” Malik said in his. “She has such an incredible soul. I’m grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time; we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all. xZ”
“I’m forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will always be,” Hadid said in her.
However, they’ve been spotted together in recent months. The Sun obtained several photos of Hadid leaving Malik’s apartment following rumors that they had split. But for now at least, Zigi shows no signs of confirming things anytime soon.
