Bella Hadid has been seen for the first time since sister Gigi’s ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik, pleaded no contest to harassing their mum, Yolanda.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the supermodels’ mother, 57, was considering pressing charges against the former One Direction star, 28, after he allegedly struck her – allegations that he has fiercely denied.
Charges were filed on October 27, and the Pillowtalk singer – who shares daughter Khai with Gigi – entered a guilty plea to one harassment charge, stating that he agreed not to contest claims arising from the argument.
Following the news, Bella kept a low profile as she headed out in New York.
The 25-year-old was spotted making her way into her apartment, keeping things low-key in a navy sweatshirt, dark trousers and chunky trainers for the outing.
She recently unfollowed Zayn on social media amid reports of the row between the dad-of-one and mum Yolanda, at the Pennsylvania home he shares with Gigi.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, he called the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star a ‘Dutch s**t’ and ordered her to ‘stay away from my f***ing daughter’ in the heated chat.
He allegedly ‘shoved her into a dresser causing mental anguish and physical pain’ – but has denied any physical contact took place.
Zayn was fined after reportedly pleading no contest to the charge ‘Harassment – Course of Conduct W/No Legitimate Purpose’.

The X Factor star is also on 90 days’ probation for each count, totalling 360 days, and must undertake an anger management course class, as well as a domestic violence programme.
He should have no contact with Yolanda, or a security guard he reportedly shouted at during the row, with the judge possibly terminating the probation after six months.
In a statement about the alleged altercation and the split, Gigi’s rep said: ‘Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time.’

The couple are thought to have broken up following the incident, which comes just days after they celebrated Khai’s first birthday.
They first began dating in 2015, with Gigi appearing in the music video for Zayn’s debut solo single PillowTalk a few months later.
