Zayn Malik posted 'crying' selfie days before rumored split with Gigi Hadid
Just days after his rumored split with Gigi Hadid, following an alleged domestic dispute with her mother, Yolanda, Zayn Malik posted a somber selfie on Instagram which made a number of his fans think that he is "crying."
On October 24, Malik took to his social media page to post a picture of himself in a white tee and a denim jacket looking away from the camera, dejected, with his eyes lowered. The photo was posted without any caption. The selfie was posted days before reports revealed that the former One Direction star “struck” Yolanda Hadid during an argument over “leaking” the couple’s pregnancy news last year -- an allegation that Malik has vehemently denied. The incident has reportedly led to Malik and Hadid calling it quits on their relationship.

'Why are you crying?'
As a result, when fans came across Zayn's somber selfie at a time when they had no idea about his rumored split, they were confused. One fan asked in the comments section of his photo, "is crying?" Soon enough, other fans of the artist also picked up on the similar vibe and asked, "Why are you crying" and "You’re crying or what?" One of them commented, "YOU LOOK SAD:((" Another die-hard fan noted, "Zayn I don't care what happened, the important thing is that I'm proud of you and I love you" The next asked, "ARE YOU OK ZAYN?" One more prayed, "I hope youre happy and healthy." A confused fan asked, "What’s going on????"
Some of the fans who flocked to the picture after they learned about the accusations against Malik, also refused to believe that he was capable of such an act. "#FreeZayn #AlwaysWithYouZayn #WeAreWithYouZayn," one of them wrote, while another declared, "I don't believe their lies. You're a very good man❤️ #zayn_is_myangel" A commenter posted, "We love you Zayn, your true fans we will always be there for you, supporting you and listening to you and above all not believing anything that woman I LOVE YOU." Another said, "Nobody knows what happend … He need Time to breath .. He is a god Man . We all have a rough time sometimes .. He is a Artist and so emotional We are all Humans with Feelings."
Zayn Malik denies allegations
A source told the Sun that Malik and Hadid called it quits “with the intention of getting back together. They've broken up multiple times before so when it comes to them getting back together, never say never. But they definitely need time apart, it's what's best for everyone involved.
When it comes to the reason behind the split, the source claimed, "Tension really started between Yolanda and Zayn last year when he suspected she was the one who leaked their pregnancy news in the first place. Gigi and Zayn didn't want to announce it publicly until after Gigi gave birth. With lockdown, it was the perfect time to give them that privacy they never would have had otherwise. They were so grateful for that privacy and they were very upset when it came out. Zayn is a very, very private person and while dating him, Gigi has become a lot more private too."
The father-of-one denied becoming violent during his interaction. He told the TMZ: "I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.”
