Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid (formerly Yolanda Foster,) is remembered for a few reasons. She is the mom of two supermodels, Gigi Hadid, and Bella Hadid. She also has a son, Anwar Hadid. Yolanda famously advised her hungry daughter, Gigi, to eat an almond.
She struggled with serious medical symptoms from Lyme disease. Her relationship with her husband, David Foster, fell apart amid her illness. The couple divorced.
Gigi started dating former One Direction star Zayn Malik. But Zayn and Yolanda didnât see eye to eye. There was an alleged altercation between the two. Letâs take a look at the timeline of Zayn Malik and Yolanda Hadidâs feud.
Zayn and Gigi Started Dating
According to People, the couple was first spotted together at a party following the November 2015 American Music Awards. Zayn cast Gigi as his leading lady in the sexy music video for his song, Pillowtalk.
The couple finally confirmed their relationship during a May 2016 feature in Vogue. Zayn was called Gigiâs âreal-life boyfriend.â I guess that is better than her fake boyfriend.
Breaking Up
The couple called it quits in March 2018. Zayn shared a statement on Twitter. âGigi 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. She has such an incredible soul,â he wrote.
Sharing Some Big News
The duo reunited and confirmed that they were back together in February 2020. In April 2020, Gigi and Zayn shared that Gigi was pregnant. And grandmother-to-be Yolanda was thrilled!
Welcoming a Daughter
Gigi gave birth to their daughter on September 19, 2020. The new mom wrote on Instagram, âOur girl joined us earth-side this weekend and sheâs already changed our world. So in love.â
Zayn was equally smitten with their new arrival. âTo try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding,â he tweeted. âGrateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x.â
The couple named their beloved baby girl Khai.
An Explosive Encounter
According to The U.S. Sun, Zayn Malik and Yolanda Hadidâs feud started when Yolanda claimed that Zayn âstruck herâ during a dispute at Gigi and Zaynâs Pennsylvania ranch on October 28, 2021. The former RHOBH star alleged that Zayn shoved her against a dresser.
Zayn hit up Twitter to give his side of the conflict. He expressed his disappointment that news of the argument was âleaked to the press.â
He wrote, âIn an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partnerâs who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago. I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and more importantly, I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves,â Zayn added.
Yolanda Filed a Police Report
Yolanda filed a police report. In the legal documents, Yolanda claimed that Gigiâs baby daddy called her a âf***ing Dutch s**t.â He also reportedly told her to âstay away from [my] f***ing daughter.â Such a charming way to speak to your daughterâs grandmother.
Zayn was also charged with harassing Gigi, who wasnât present during the incident. Zayn allegedly shouted, âStrap on some fâking balls and defend your partner against your fâking mother in my houseâ during a phone call. He also reportedly tried to fight with a security guard.
As a result, Zayn was charged with four criminal counts of harassment. Although he denied the claims, he did agree to plead no contest to the charges filed against him.
The pop star had to serve 360 days of probation. Zayn also had to complete anger management courses. We still donât know what exactly happened that day between Yolanda and Zayn.
Was the Feud Simmering for a While?
An insider told The U.S Sun in 2021, âThe thing is, Yolanda and Zayn are like chalk and cheese and theyâve never seen eye to eye.â Yolanda, who has always been involved in Gigiâs modeling career, had urged Zayn to support her. Yolanda suggested that Zayn post about his girlfriend on Instagram and walk red carpets with her.
âThatâs Zaynâs idea of a nightmare. It was almost like he was being guilt-tripped, as sheâd always be hinting that Zaynâs reluctance to play the showbiz game was holding back Gigiâs career,â the source stated.
Gigi and Zayn Split Again
Amid the media attention following the argument, the couple split up. Gigiâs rep stated, âGigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time.â Zayn and Gigi began to work on the dynamics of their co-parenting relationship.
Zayn Opened up About the Argument
After staying mum about the incident with Yolanda for almost two years, Zayn finally commented on the altercation. âI just wasnât trying to get into a negative back and forth with her. I dealt with it in the best way, in like an amicable, respectful way and thatâs all that needs to be said,â Zayn stated. âYeah, just I feel like itâs a lot of negativity.â
That doesnât shed much light on what happened. âI knew what the situation was, I knew what happened and the people involved knew what happened, too,â the former boy bander said.
Now the ball is in Yolandaâs court to see if she responds. Or maybe everyone will stay silent to shield Khai from this upsetting family drama.
