After going silent on Instagram for a (very long) week, we knew something was up with Gigi Hadid. What we didn’t know was Zayn Malik was behind the social-less farce.

Today, in the wake of Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris amicably breaking-up (and in yet another tale of Love is Definitely Dead), E! News has confirmed Hadid and Malik have, too, separated. After seven months of dating, the reason behind the split remains unknown but a source tells the website things have been on shaky ground a little while.

“During her birthday, they were fighting,” says the source. “They’ve broken up and got back together a few times.”

If they did have an argument at her 21st birthday, then it was mended very quickly as the model spoke glowingly about her boyfriend on The Jimmy Fallon show on May 17.

 

Another insider commented that while the break-up is true, they most likely will get back together if the past is anything to go by. “Zayn and Gigi did break up, but they can likely get back together tomorrow,” said the source. “It’s all very unclear what’s going on between them now. They have been having some issues lately that involved communication and getting along.”

The source also added Hadid was very sad about the split and the part she misses most is the constant contact with Malik, a comment which would explain her last Instagram post before the seven day hiatus. It was captioned, “Missing you”.

 

Just one day ago, Hadid was spotted in deep conversation with best friend Kendall Jenner at lunch in Los Angeles. Was this the conversation where Hadid decided to end things for good with the singer? We gave ourselves three guesses in what the models talked about.
