Gigi Hadid ‘Will Always Have a Special Place’ for Ex Zayn Malik: Could a Reunion Be on the Horizon?

Since sparking romance rumours with Bradley Cooper in October 2023, Gigi Hadid’s relationship with the actor seems to be thriving. However, there remains an undeniable bond with her former flame, Zayn Malik, especially given that they share a daughter, Khai.

Hadid and Malik’s love story began in November 2015, when the supermodel was first linked to the former One Direction star. Their on-and-off relationship lasted several years, but by 2021, they went their separate ways after a widely publicised fallout involving Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Hadid. Despite any lingering tension, the pair have amicably co-parented their daughter Khai, whom they welcomed in 2020.

While Hadid is reportedly “crazy about Bradley right now,” some sources suggest that she may be reflecting on her past with Malik as her life continues to evolve. Regardless of new romances, Zayn Malik will always hold a significant place in Hadid’s life due to their shared commitment to raising their child.

Despite their tumultuous past and the “horrible breakup” they endured, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have found common ground for the sake of their daughter, Khai. A source recently revealed to Life & Style that the former couple is “getting along really well again” after working through their emotions.

Hadid reportedly has a deep respect for Malik’s personal growth. The “Pillowtalk” singer has “really mellowed out” and is said to be in “a much better place now, both mentally and emotionally.”

“It’s such a relief for everyone in his life, especially Gigi,” the insider shared. They also emphasised that, despite everything, the Guest In Residence founder “will always have a special place in her heart for” Zayn.
