Zayn Malik has admitted he was never in love with Gigi Hadid, according to STERN.de. In a recent episode of the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, the former One Direction star explained that his feelings during their six-year relationship were likely driven by desire rather than true love. ‘Maybe it was lust. Maybe it was this, maybe it was that. I don’t feel it was love,’ Malik said. He emphasized his enduring respect for Hadid, noting she is the mother of his daughter, Khai, but clarified he was not in love with her at the time. The couple, once considered one of the most glamorous celebrity pairs, broke up in 2021 after going public in 2015.

2026 Met Gala Dress Crafted in Two Days

Gigi Hadid revealed her custom 2026 Met Gala dress, created in collaboration with Miu Miu, according to Vogue. The design was an amalgamation of her favorite elements from past collections, particularly from Miu Miu’s spring 1998 and 2011 lines. Hadid admitted the initial patchwork design didn’t sit well on her body as expected from the sketches, so she revisited the archives. Ultimately, the dress was built directly on her body two days before the event. ‘We all sat in a hotel room two days ago, literally, and Scotch-taped the patches onto me in a way that felt celebratory,’ she said. The piece was described as a creative collaboration, with the body acting as the canvas.

Controversy Over Epstein Email Involving Gigi and Bella Hadid

Gigi Hadid responded to controversy surrounding a 2015 email involving her and her sister Bella from the files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to HOLA.

Epstein replied, ‘They follow instructions, that’s it.’ Gigi initially remained silent after the email’s publication, but later addressed the situation in a now-deleted Instagram comment. ‘It’s horrible to read that someone you’ve never met speaks of you in that way,’ she wrote. The incident led to public backlash against her silence and raised questions about her modeling career’s origins.
