It's reported that Hadid -- who recently broke her silence on the allegations -- and the 'Vibez' singer have split
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}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.
