November 2016: We finally get their origin story! Zayn explains how he and Hadid met at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. “She’s a very intelligent woman,” he told the Evening Standard. “She knows how to carry herself. She’s quite classy and that. She’s not, like, arrogant in any way. She’s confident. She carries it well. She’s cool.”

March 2018: All good things come to an end, and unfortunately, Hadid and Zayn hit the brakes on their relationship. Zayn and Hadid both post statements on their Twitter accounts confirming the split. “I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend,” Zayn writes.

April 2018: Those mourning the loss of Hadid and Zayn’s breakup are thrilled to see photos on TMZ of the former couple kissing in New York City. Rumours circle the internet; however, Zayn is not present at Hadid’s 23rd birthday party.

January 2019: According to Us Weekly, the split was caused by a combination of factors, including Malik’s struggle to overcome some personal issues and Hadid not seeing enough of her friends when Malik was around.

February 2020: After months of speculation that they were back together, Hadid posts a photo on her photography Instagram page confirming that they are most definitely a couple. “HEY VALENTINE,” she captioned the post. “Z on the farm ♡ Dec 2019.”
