[a source told ](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a38103294/why-gigi-hadid-zayn-malik-broke-up-october-2021/) [The Sun](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a38103294/why-gigi-hadid-zayn-malik-broke-up-october-2021/) that it wasn't meant to be permanent. Alyssa Bailey is the senior news and strategy editor at ELLE.com, where she oversees coverage of celebrities and royals (particularly Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton). [reported](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a41333053/leonardo-dicaprio-over-playboy-lifestyle-gigi-hadid-romance/) that Hadid and DiCaprio were dating officially now, although [their relationship is casual](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a41319540/leonardo-dicaprio-taken-with-gigi-hadid/). The charge against Hadid, [per TMZ's sources](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a38103978/zayn-malik-gigi-yolanda-hadid-harassment-charges/), came from the verbal abuses Malik allegedly said to Hadid while on the phone with her during the incident with her mom. “You have to start to calculate your steps, because you went for it with an open heart, and sometimes it doesn't get portrayed that way.” You're only going to have a human experience if you're fully in the moment. Still, the model has always been dedicated to maintaining a good co-parenting relationship with Malik for the sake of their daughter. “Gigi will do everything she can to make sure they co-parent in a civil way.” [Pop culture news account PopFaction](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2XEw5Ljb-/?igshid=NzNkNDdiOGI=) pointed out this morning that Malik just unfollowed Hadid, who he dated on-off for six years before [their final breakup a year ago](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a38103294/why-gigi-hadid-zayn-malik-broke-up-october-2021/), on Instagram. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. Although Malik denied any physical contact with Hadid's mother, he ultimately [pled no contest](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a38103978/zayn-malik-gigi-yolanda-hadid-harassment-charges/) to four charges of harassment against the model and Yolanda Hadid. She later posted more photos revealing that Malik put together the party for Khai: “Her baba threw her the best party!
