AreGigi HadidandZayn Malikback on after the January split rumors?
Malik, 26, confused fans of the on-again, off-again couple when he tweeted an affectionate message to the model on Saturday, following reports thatthe two had recently ended thingsagain.
“@GiGiHadid love you,” the singer wrote to Hadid, 23, on Twitter.
Hadid has been active on Twitter since Malik’s tweet — including shooting down a fan’s theory about why she was leaving a hotel — but had not liked or responded to it as of Saturday afternoon.
Just months after revealing their rekindled romance on social media following abrief split in March 2018,multiple outlets reportedin January that the two had recently ended things again.
The stars — who first started dating in November 2015 — stirred up the first inklings of their split when Malik didn’t sit in the audience of theVictoria’s Secret Fashion Showin November 2018 to cheer on Hadid, as he has done in previous years. The pair have not appeared on each other’s social media feeds over the past few months, and most recently appeared to spend the holidays apart. Malik is also no longer following Hadid on Instagram.

For the2019 Pirelli Calendar, which was released in December, Hadid posed with designer Alexander Wang and played the part of a woman who just broke up with her companion — though the calendar’s photographer, Albert Watson, said she was “acting.”
Most recently, Malikspoke out about his relationshipwith Hadid for the December issue ofBritish Vogue.
“Everything is great,” he said. “She’s super-organized and I’m really not. It helps that she can get things together for me a little bit. I lean on her a lot.”
In the cover story forGQ’sJuly issue, which was released in June 2018, Malik said that he and Hadiddon’t feel a need to put a “label” on their relationship.
“We’re adults,” he said. “We don’t need to put a label on it, make it something for people’s expectations.”
Explaining how he had a “very negative outlook on things” following the release of his debut solo album,Mind of Mine, Malik said that Hadid “helped me to look at things from a positive angle.”

When Malik and Hadid broke up for the first time in March 2018, they each sharedseparate statementsto their social media accounts.
“Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and friend,” Malik wrote in his statement. “She has such an incredible soul. I’m grateful to all of our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time; we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all. xZ”
Added Hadid, “Breakup statements often seem impersonal because there is really no way to put into words what two people experience over a few years … not only in the relationship, but in life in general. I’m forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will be. xG”
