Zayn Malik has spoken out after he was accused of striking his girlfriend Gigi Hadid's mother Yolanda, denying the claim.

"I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private," he told TMZ in a statement on Thursday.

The 28-year-old singer also took to social media earlier in the day to say there were "harsh words shared" not long after news broke to address the allegations.

TMZ reported that sources told the outlet that Malik allegedly "struck" Yolanda, 57, last week and the former model is reportedly seriously considering filing a police report.

Multiple sources told People magazine that Malik and Hadid have split up.

"They are not together right now. They are both good parents though," said a friend of the Hadid family. "They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild."
