Amid drama in the family, following reports Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have split – after he denied striking her mother Yolanda – Bella Hadid has shared a cryptic social media post.
Nothing like an ambiguous message to bring everything together, eh?
It kicked off overnight after TMZ reported that Yolanda was ‘seriously considering filing a police report’ after former One Direction star Zayn, who shares 13-month-old Khai with her model daughter, ‘struck’ her.
No police report has yet been filed, and Zayn has vehemently denied the claims.
While Gigi’s sister Bella hasn’t addressed the allegations specifically, the 25-year-old headed to Instagram amid the palaver to share an interesting message.
She posted an illustration of a woman that came alongside the quote: ‘I can do nothing for you but work on myself. You can do nothing for me but work on yourself.’

PillowTalk singer Zayn strenuously denied the allegations about an altercation with Yolanda, 57, referring to the incident as an ‘argument’ where ‘harsh words’ were exchanged.
He said in a statement: ‘As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart.
‘In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising for an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.
‘This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been “leaked” to the press.
‘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.’

He later issued a further statement specifically about the ‘striking’ allegation and said: ‘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.’
It has since been reported that Gigi and Zayn, 28, have split up after six years on and off together, and that they are still co-parenting Khai
Gigi, 26, shared a statement with People, saying: ‘Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time.’
