From "Pillowtalk" to parenthood, Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have been through it all.

It's safe to say supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gigi-hadid-new-mom-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gigi Hadid</a>'s relationship with&nbsp;former One Direction singer and pop sensation <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/zayn-malik-vibez-nobody-is-listening-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zayn Malik</a> has had its ups and downs. Breakups and makeups, cover photos, and confusing Instagram posts&mdash;they've been through it all. But the couple finds their way back to each other time and time again. Though the couple shortly called it quits after welcoming <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gigi-hadid-pregnant-expecting-zayn-maliks-baby" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their baby girl</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gigi-hadid-daughter-name-zayn-malik" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khai</a>, the duo both take pride in co-parenting their young daughter, while juggling impressive and demanding careers.
L'OFFICIEL looks back at their wild ride of a relationship dating back from 2015 until now.

Hadid and Malik first met at the 2015 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/model-doutzen-kroes-young-victorias-secret" target="_blank">Victoria&rsquo;s Secret</a> Party. Malik&nbsp;told <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/zayn-malik-on-wooing-gigi-hadid-megastardom-and-facing-his-demons-a3385611.html" target="_blank">The Evening Standard</a> a year later that he asked Hadid&nbsp;out, and they went on their first date in New York City. At the time, they kept it under wraps. The two were recently single, with the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gigi-hadid-back-to-work-after-birth-baby-girl-instagram" target="_blank">model</a> having just announced her split from Joe Jonas and the musician calling off his engagement to British pop star Perrie Edwards earlier in the year.

I can&rsquo;t wait to watch you grow into the most perfect specimen of all."

October 28, 2021

In a shocking turn of events, it's revealed that the couple has finally parted ways after <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/28/zayn-malik-yolanda-hadid-gigi-fight-struck-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TMZ</a> reported that Gigi's mom Yolanda accused Malik of "striking" her.&nbsp;
Shortly after the news dropped, Malik released a statement on social media denying the accusation. He wrote, "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."
Following the revelation, a source close to Gigi told <a href="https://people.com/music/gigi-hadid-zayn-malik-break-up-amid-yolanda-alleged-argument/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a>, "They're not together now. They're both good parents. They're co-parents. Yolanda is, of course, very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandson."

Hadid celebrated her daughter's birthday with a festive Peppa Pig cake from Carlo's Bake Shop. She wrote on Instagram, "Our angel girl turned 2 today," and tagged Malik in the post.

Hadid celebrated her daughter's third birthday, sharing a few photos to Instagram, highlighting Khai's homemade breakfast, Frozen themed cake, a flashback from her first birthday, and a few moments of them together.
