Relationship with Zayn Malik

Hadid and Zayn Malik met at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show afterparty in November 2015. They were first photographed together leaving the 2015 American Music Awards afterparty on November 22, and began posting pictures together on Instagram in December 2015. In January 2016, Hadid appeared in the music video for Zayn's debut single, Pillowtalk. In February, Zayn confirmed in a radio interview that they were a couple. In April, they appeared in a VOGUE Italia photoshoot, and in May they attended the MET Gala together. Zayn accompanied Gigi to various New York and London Fashion Week events during September 2016, where he also met with legendary designer Donatella Versace. On November 20, Zayn and Gigi both attended the 2016 American Music Awards, where they shared a backstage kiss after Zayn won Best New Artist.

In the September issue of UK Elle Magazine (released in late July 2016), Zayn spoke about dating Gigi saying "She's super intelligent, I think that's why it works so well. And we do the same type of job so we get that with each other."[1] In the November 2016 issue of Evening Standard Magazine, Zayn stated he and Gigi did not own a home together, stating "We haven’t officially swapped keys or anything yet, we live together wherever we are.’ He described her as "a very intelligent woman. She knows how to carry herself. She’s quite classy and that. She’s not, like, arrogant in any way, she’s confident. She carries it well. She’s cool.’[2] On June 13, Gigi wrote a letter of support to Zayn on her Twitter, after he canceled his Summertime Ball performance due to "the worst anxiety of [his] career".

The couple collaborated together on Zayn's Versace Versus clothing line promotions, filming a series of Q&A videos released in March 2017.

In June 2016, it was originally reported by People Magazine that Zayn and Gigi had split up after seven months dating[3]. However on June 3, Gigi posted a video of her singing "Pillowtalk"[4] on Snapchat. Gigi's father, Mohammad Hadid stated "I think they are probably still together".

On 13 March 2018, Zayn and Gigi simultaneously confirmed on their official Twitter accounts that they had amicably split up. However, in April 2018, the pair were photographed kissing outside her apartment. The following month Gigi uploaded several photos of them together to her Instagram account. When asked to clarify, Zayn told GQ Magazine: "We're adults. We don't need to put a label on it, make it something for people's expectations."[5] The pair appeared to remain together throughout 2019.

On 27 April 2020, US tabloid news source TMZ revealed Hadid and Malik were expecting their first child[6]. The news was leaked to press without Hadid and Malik's prior consent. Hadid confirmed her pregnancy three days later in an interview with Jimmy Fallon. On September 2020, Gigi welcomed their first child, a girl. They later revealed her name is Khai Malik but do not show her face publicly. Gigi and Zayn both have tattoos for Khai.

On 28 October 2021, claims from Gigi Hadid's mother, Yolanda, suggested Zayn had struck her during an argument and she was considering filing a police report. Zayn responded to the claims, stating "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". He further explained on Twitter: "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. 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. I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and more importantly, I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves." Hours after these claims were made, People Magazine reported Gigi and Zayn had broken up. An official representative for Gigi told E! News: "Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time". Zayn's use of the word "co-parent" in his statement suggested the pair were not currently together.

In August 2022, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted hooking up with Gigi Hadid. In September 2022, they were spotted swimming in the beach together. Since then, they ended things; they were never serious and Gigi wants to focus on her daughter and is not ready for a new serious relationship at the moment.
