Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid were together for two years but the couple broke the hearts of many when they announced their split on March 13 in a joint statement. Even though they may not be together anymore, the love for each other remains. In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest for On Air With Ryan Seacrest, Zayn confessed that he always thought that he and Gigi would always be together.

The singer recently released his music, "Let Me" and in the interview, he explained how he had written the song "7 to 8 months ago", when he was still with Gigi and head over heels in love with her. “I was in love– and I think that’s pretty evident," he told Ryan. "I was aspiring to be in love with someone for the rest of my life and the rest of theirs, as we all do. Things change and we move forward in life. Times change, but that’s what I was thinking when I wrote it."

Zayn confessed that the music was inspired by her and even though things did not work out between them, he decided to still keep the song. “We go through experiences so we have memories and stories and things to write down and contemplate and think about," he explained.

"You get to really put your experience into something. It should be remembered forever." With lyrics like “This feeling will last forever, baby, that’s the truth/Let me be your man so I can love you,” it is clear that the love between the two was intense. Unfortunately, due to circumstances and differences, the couple decided to part their ways. 

Following the rumors about their split, the pair decided to address the issue themselves and in a joint statement confirmed that they had decided to end their two-year relationship. "Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and friend," Zayn wrote on Twitter. 

"She has such an incredible soul. I'm grateful to all our fans for respecting this difficult decision and our privacy at this time, we wish this news could have come from us first. We love you all." While the two may not be together anymore, they still care about each other like they did before.
