Zayn Malik’s got a shaved and tatted skull — but even that’s upstaged by the fact he’s apparently back with Gigi Hadid and doing some serious PDA. The exes were all over each other Sunday in NYC. The scene, combined with Zayn’s new look,…
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are each back on the market … because their 2-year relationship is over. The couple reportedly ended their relationship earlier this month, and Zayn confirmed it Tuesday … saying, “Gigi and I had an incredibly…
At the time, they seemed like a match made in heaven – both were young, stylish, and seemed to spend an awful lot of time on their hair.
Alas, it seems the immaculately-coiffed couple was simply not meant to be.
Several sources have confirmed today that Zayn and Gigi have officially called it quits.
The internet’s “stan culture” is presumably divided between despondent declarations that “love is dead” and giddy glee over the fact that Zayn is back on the market.
“Sadly Zayn and Gigi have separated,” a source confirmed to London’s The Sun today.
“They have crazy work schedules that would put pressure on any relationship.”
Yes, it’s the old “hectic schedules” excuse.
In keeping with the tradition of boilerplate breakup announcements, the insider went on to maintain that Zayn and Gigi are totally still friends.
“They are no longer a couple but they do remain close and are supportive of each other,” the source added.
“The reality is that they’ve grown apart, having been together for a long time.”
Fans began to suspect something was amiss when both parties failed to acknowledge Valentine’s Day on social media.
Today, the couple’s most obsessive followers noticed that they’ve unfollowed one another on Instagram.
“This is definitely the end for now, but this isn’t a bitter split and they both have respect for each other,” concluded the insider.
“It’s a mutual decision so no one has completely ruled out a reunion in the future, but for now that’s not where their heads are at.”
Neither party has spoken about the breakup publicly, but Zayn did seem to acknowledge that he’s going through a tough time this morning, writing on Instagram:
“When Life throws you lemons, catch em so they don’t hit you in the fu-king face.”
Zayn Malik didn’t let a porn site’s tweet rub him the wrong way … oh, far from it. The “Pillowtalk” singer was leaving Gigi’s apartment Wednesday in NYC where a bunch of photogs were stationed and had just a few quick seconds to get…
Zayn Malik’s now under the watchful eyes of Gigi Hadid … if that new ink’s really her eyes tattooed on his chest. The former 1D singer celebrated his 25th birthday over the weekend and Gigi posted this video of her BF … shirtless and…
This is the first issue: why not get models who are actually gender fluid instead of one of Taylor Swift’s squad members and the guy who used to be in One Direction?
In the shoot, Gigi wore all kinds of suits, and Zayn wore some clothing items with a floral print, and some with lots of embellishments.
In the interview, she said that she wore his clothes all the time, and he added that he wore hers sometimes, too.
“I like that shirt,” Zayn said about one particular piece in Gigi’s closet. “And if it’s tight on me, so what? It doesn’t matter if it was made for a girl.”
“Totally,” Gigi agreed. “It’s not about gender. It’s about, like, shapes. And what feels good on you that day. And anyway, it’s fun to experiment.”
She also said “If Zayn’s wearing a tight shirt and tight jeans and a big, drapey coat, I mean– I’d wear that, too. It’s just about, Do the clothes feel right on you?”
“With social media, the world’s gotten very small,” Zayn explained, “and it can seem like everyone’s doing the same thing.”
“Gender, whatever — you want to make your own statement. You know? You want to feel distinct.”
And all that is fine. You can wear whatever clothes you want, sure. Do what makes you happy.
But the issue is that being gender fluid isn’t exactly about being a woman and wearing a suit, or being a man who feels cool wearing floral prints.
And Twitter has been doing an A+ job of calling Vogue out for this mess.
“Zayn and Gigi are profiled in this piece on gender fluidity because… they borrow each other’s clothes sometimes?” one person wondered.
Another wrote “My bf and I share t-shirts, that doesn’t mean we are gender fluid. Jeez louise Vogue, all ya had to do was Google the definition.”
As one reasonable Twitter user pointed out, “I believe Vogue should have called it ‘Androgynous’ and not gender fluid. Seems like just an excuse to put them on the cover.”
Violet Chachki, incredible drag queen and winner of season seven of RuPaul’s Drag Race, even got into the debate.
“There’s an entire marginalized community that actually deals with the problems and joys of being visibly queer day to day,” she wrote in a post on Snapchat.
“Ya know people that wear gendered clothing different than the gender they were assigned at birth, not only because it’s cute and fun but as a means of survival.”
Vogue received so much backlash for the issue that they’ve already made a public apology.
“They story was intended to highlight the impact the gender-fluid, non-binary communities have had on fashion and culture,” their statement read.
“We are very sorry the story did not correctly reflect that spirit — we missed the mark. We do look forward to continuing the conversation with greater sensitivity.”
As of now, neither Gigi or Zayn have commented on the controversy.
Do you think Vogue was out of line with this? Sound off below!
Zayn Malik showed up to his girlfriend’s pad on 4 wheels … just not the luxury wheels you’d expect. The One Direction singer looks to have injured his left leg — it’s unclear how and where it happened — so he arrived at Gigi Hadid’s apartment in…
