Zayn Malik, a former member of the band “One Direction,” recently expressed doubts about whether he has ever truly been in love. During an episode of the “Zach Sang Show,” Malik admitted, “I don’t know if I’ve actually truly been in love at this point.” He went on to explain that the definition of love evolves with experience, making it difficult to determine if past relationships were genuine expressions of love or simply life experiences. This introspection raises questions about the nature of his romantic entanglements and sheds light on the complexities of love in his life.
Malik delved into his past relationships, particularly his tumultuous romance with model Gigi Hadid. The couple’s on-and-off six-year relationship began in 2015 and ended in 2018, with brief reconciliations before ultimately parting ways. Despite sharing a daughter, Khai, the pair faced challenges, including allegations of domestic violence made by Hadid’s mother, Yolanda Hadid. Malik denied the accusations but pleaded no contest to harassment charges. Despite their split, Malik and Hadid have managed to maintain a respectful co-parenting relationship for the sake of their child.
