Zayn Malik’s Mother opens up about his Split from Gigi Hadid
Zayn Malik’s mother has revealed what it was like when Gigi Hadid secretly visited her home in Bradford.
Trisha Malik recalled the model’s trip north during her relationship with the One Direction star, before their 2021 split.
Trisha said: “Gigi only came to Bradford once to visit us when she was with Zayn and the whole thing was kept very quiet.
“It felt a bit strange having a supermodel in the house but she’s very down to earth.”
She added: “She’s a great girl, I’m still very fond of her and it’s a pity that things didn’t work out for them but that’s life.”
Zayn was most recently linked to Selena Gomez, but their brief romance was thought to have come to an end in July when she unfollowed him on social media.
Before this, Zayn Malik’s last public romance was with Gigi, whom he first split from in 2018 before they rekindled and welcomed their first child together.
His other most high-profile relationship was with his former fiancée Perrie Edwards, who he was engaged to for two years.
Trisha, who said both Gigi and Perrie were ‘great girls’, has revealed that Zayn is putting his energy into co-parenting Khai and isn’t focused on dating.
She told MailOnline: “Zayn’s energies are focused on being a good dad to Khai and his work and that’s not going to change any time soon.
“He’s a wonderful father, very caring and loving and devotes a lot of time to his daughter. It’s what gives him the most pleasure in life.
“He’s a good-looking lad and a lot of women are interested in him but none of that interests him at the moment.
“He’s not even in the dating game. It’s all about Khai and then his work.”
Trisha Malik added: “Gigi and Zayn are co-parenting and it’s working very well. They are both wonderful people and parents.
“Gigi only came to Bradford once to visit us when she was with Zayn and the whole thing was kept very quiet.
“It felt a bit strange having a supermodel in the house but she’s very down to earth.”
“She’s a great girl, I’m still very fond of her and it’s a pity that things didn’t work out for them but that’s life.”
Trisha Malik also revealed that she is planning to fly to Los Angeles, where Zayn lives to celebrate Khai’s third birthday.
Speaking on their relationship, she said: “I Facetime Khai at least two or three times per week and it’s wonderful to have a relationship with her, even though she is so far away.
“Because of all the calls, she recognises me instantly.
“I’m really looking forward to going to Los Angeles to celebrate her birthday and it will be lovely to spend some time with my son and granddaughter.
“I miss them both, but Zayn has his own life now in the US and is enjoying himself as a dad and single man.”
