Zayn Malik, just like his fellow One Direction bandmates, was deeply shaken by the tragic passing of Liam Payne in October this year. However, amid the anguish, he found comfort in his former partner, Gigi Hadid, who reportedly stood by his side, offering support during such a difficult time.

Zayn Malik, alongside his bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan, were present during Payne’s funeral on Wednesday this week. The service was held just over a month after his death and took place in a church in the English countryside outside of London.
The band also released a group statement on Instagram upon hearing news of Payne’s death. “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam‘s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say,” the post read. “But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly.”

One insider told the outlet that “Gigi and Zayn have had their ups and downs over the years but they’ve come a long way and are on much better terms.” “Their main focus is on co-parenting Khai and they have been able to get along well,” the source added.
The former couple also “spend time together with their daughter, including her fourth birthday this past September.” They had an on-and-off relationship for six years, starting in 2015, and later welcomed their daughter, Khai, in September 2020.
