Gigi Hadid not showing 'too much PDA' with Leonardo DiCaprio out of respect for ex Zayn Malik
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gigi Hadid is reportedly keeping her relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio under wraps out of respect for her ex Zayn Malik, the father of their daughter Khai, sources say.
The supermodel, 27, is allegedly keeping her new romance with the actor, 47, low-key while being mindful of her singer ex, 29. Zayn and Gigi ended their relationship in 2021. The model and 'PillowTalk' crooner welcomed their daughter in 2020. It's worth noting that Gigi's alleged relationship with Leonardo is her first since splitting from the former One Direction member. An insider has now claimed she would rather keep her dating life away from the limelight out of respect for her daughter's father.

"Gigi and Leo have been seeing each other and are very into each other, but Gigi has been trying to keep things low-key with their relationship," the source told Entertainment Tonight, "They are trying to keep things private and not show too much PDA while out together." The source added, "Gigi is trying to be mindful of Zayn's feelings and doesn't want to be disrespectful to him with her new relationship. Gigi and Zayn both only want what is best for each other. They are doing their best to have a cordial relationship, be the best parents they can be, and co-parent Khai in a healthy way."
The 'Titanic' actor and the model reportedly first met during the Paris Fashion Week in September. A Page Six report suggested that the two hung around at a loft party in Soho, before being spotted at Casa Cipriani. “Leo was with his guy friends and Gigi was with her model friends and they were all hanging out at a table,” claimed a source, adding that they enjoyed performances by Diplo and Kodak Black.
The outlet alleged they were "getting to know each other" and were "taking it slow." An insider revealed, “They’ve mostly [been] hanging out with groups and solo a handful of times.” The same month, the 'Shutter Island' actor was noticed in Milan, while Hadid walked in the Versace Spring/Summer 2023 fashion show in the city. He was also seen in Paris during their fashion week later that month and leaving the same hotel, the Royal Monceau. A source told ET at the time that the actor and the model were "fully seeing each other." Meanwhile, another source told the outlet, "Gigi and Leo are the real deal. They've been hanging out a lot and are very into each other," adding, "Things are going well between them and they're both happy."
