Singer Zayn Malik has made some shocking revelations about his past relationship with model Gigi Hadid. In a recent interview, the former One Direction member admitted that what he once thought was love might not have been love at all.
Zayn and Gigi started dating in 2015 and quickly became one of the most popular celebrity couples. They broke up and got back together several times over the years. In 2020, they welcomed their daughter, Khai. However, their relationship ended not long after.
In a candid chat on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper, Zayn spoke openly about his mistakes during the relationship. He admitted that he was unfaithful at times. “I was young and did certain things, spoke to other females when I shouldn’t have been,” he said. He added that growing up has helped him learn from those experiences.
Zayn also shared that being single now feels freeing for him. He said he is comfortable being alone and doesn’t feel scared without a partner. “I’m cool with myself,” he said, explaining that he enjoys his own company.
When asked about his previous statement in 2024 where he claimed he had never been in love, Zayn said his understanding of love has changed over time. He explained that what he felt back then might have been more about attraction than real love. “At that moment, I thought it was love. But as I’ve got older, I’ve realised maybe it wasn’t. Maybe it was lust,” he shared.
Despite everything, Zayn made it clear that he has respect for Gigi. He said he will always care for her because she is the mother of his child. “I will always love G because she’s the reason my child is on this earth. I have the utmost respect for her,” he said. However, he also admitted that he is unsure if he was ever truly in love with her.
Zayn is known for keeping his personal life private, so this interview came as a surprise to many fans. His honest confession has given people a new perspective on one of Hollywood’s most talked-about relationships.
