Key Points

  • Zayn claimed he never felt "in love" with Hadid, prompting public attention.
  • Hadid remains silent publicly, despite feeling triggered by Malik's podcast remarks.
  • She prioritizes peaceful co-parenting and a reportedly growing relationship with Bradley Cooper.

GIGI Hadid is reportedly keeping her attention on the future after recent comments from ex Zayn Malik stirred headlines.

Malik said on a podcast that while he loves Hadid deeply, he does not believe he was ever “in love” with her during their relationship.

Sources told Radar Online that Hadid was upset by the remarks but has no interest in responding publicly.

Instead, she is said to be prioritising peace and co-parenting for the sake of their daughter, Khai.

The report also says Hadid is focused on her relationship with Bradley Cooper, with insiders describing her as happy and looking ahead rather than getting pulled into public drama.

“Gigi is way beyond being hurt by anything Zayn says, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t triggering for her,” a source said.

“She sees everything and did not appreciate him taking that shot at her.

“She would never give Zayn the satisfaction of saying anything directly in response – she’s not interested in getting in a big public fight with him.”

While speculation continues around the former couple’s dynamic, Hadid has reportedly chosen to stay silent and move forward.

Why This Matters

This matters because Hadid’s decision to stay silent and prioritise co‑parenting and a new relationship signals a shift toward protecting her family and image, shaping how celebrities handle personal disputes and influencing public narratives about privacy and resilience.
