It’s claimed that the couple’s split stemmed from ‘tension’ caused by Zayn accusing Gigi’s mother Yolanda of leaking the news of their pregnancy in 2020, which led to the altercation where the Real Housewives star alleges Zayn struck her.
Zayn has denied her accusations, stating their exchange was simply ‘harsh words.’
The source added: ‘They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild.’
A source told The Sun: ‘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.
‘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 source added that Zayn had ‘clashed’ with Yolanda because she does not feel ‘the same sense of privacy as he does.’
