ZAYN MALIK: LETTING HIMSELF GO?

We happen to think Zayn Malik was drop-dead gorgeous when he was in One Direction– but since he unceremoniously quit, he hasn’t seen any of his former band members – or his barber either! He’s been living as a recluse on that Pennsylvania farm with his almost two year old daughter Khai since he and Gigi Hadid split in Oct 2021. Zayn and Gigi share custody. We used to see Gigi pushing Khai in her stroller around NYC, but she’s been invisible since the split. The parents must have a “no publicity for the baby” agreement so Khai is a recluse like her dad. Meanwhile, Zayn has been growing out his hair (from a shaved head) and he wears it in the style of a surfer (or a homeless person, depending on who’s looking) and now he’s selling sweatshirts and t-shirts to fans with his “art” on them called Paynt by Zayn. You can buy the hoody he’s wearing for $70.

ZAYN MALIK COVERED UP HIS BIGGEST ASSET

Been wondering why you haven’t seen Zayn Malik around lately? Could be because he doesn’t look the same! Some men just don’t appreciate what they have. Zayn Malik has always stood out of the crowd because of his exceptional good looks. He might not have been the best singer in One Direction, or the most charming, but he WAS the hottest. His anxiety about performing doesn’t work well with his now solo career. Funny – he took the one thing he could depend on, and covered it with a scraggly BEARD. Now he looks like any other guy on the street…

YOLANDA HADID: FROM MODEL MOM TO VILLAIN

Former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Yolanda Hadid is having a bad year. First she managed to cause the break-up of her daughter Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, the father of her 1 year old child. It seems Yolanda was on their Pennsylvania farm with Zayn and the baby and they had an argument. Yolanda claimed that Zayn not only insulted her but physically assaulted her. She pressed charges and Zayn pleaded “No contest” although he denied charges to the press. Zayn and Gigi haven’t been seen together since. This week Yolanda’s other daughter Bella Hadid admitted to Vogue that she had a nose job at the age of 14 that she now regrets. The internet blew up with fans jumping all over Yolanda – calling her a horrible mother for allowing a 14 year old to have plastic surgery.

NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THIS

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik were a bad match from the start. She’s a hard-working model, grateful for her success and filled with ambition. She is very sociable and aims to develop a career as a TV personality or correspondent. Grateful seems not to be in Zayn’s vocabulary – the drop-dead handsome singer just walked away from his One Direction group at the height of their popularity, left the other guys in the lurch, and petulantly complained that he was “anxious” and couldn’t tolerate all the public attention. Instead of addressing his anxiety problem, he moved to a remote ranch in Pennsylvania. He even uses his baby daughter as an excuse for being reclusive. These are all the ingredients for a huge custody battle over his and Gigi’s child that he keeps hidden.

GIGI HADID FRANTICALLY TRYING TO CALM EVERYONE DOWN

We can just imagine Gigi Hadid on the phone right now with her mother Yolanda, BEGGING her NOT to file a police report about Zayn Malik supposedly hitting her mother during an argument. Malik admits to having a verbal altercation with Gigi’s mom at her Pennsylvania ranch, but he vehemently denies striking her. His fans are in an uproar and he’s been trying to de-escalate the situation on Twitter without success. Some are even assuming that Zayn and Gigi have split up, which has not happened YET. Famously reclusive Zayn is appalled that the argument has even become an issue – he calls it a private family matter. Meanwhile, of course everyone is dying to know WHAT the argument was ABOUT. Stay tuned…

HERE’S GIGI- BUT WHERE IS ZAYN MALIK?

SO nice to see someone walking around in the daytime WITHOUT A HOODIE! Gigi Hadid gave birth to her daughter a year ago and she’s never looked better. (LOVE that white coat) But WHERE is the father of her child, Zayn Malik? He’s been missing in action for quite awhile. Zayn and Gigi and their baby have been living at his farm in rural Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near her mother Yolanda’s ranch. Socially anxious Zayn says he loves growing his own crops and staying out of the limelight, but he hasn’t been actively promoting his own music since he left One Direction. Time to pay some attention to his future…

THE LUCKIEST GUY IN NEW YORK

He enjoys NOT being noticed SO much that Zayn Malek will probably continue wearing a mask long after everyone else has stopped, in spite of the fact that he was blessed with drop-dead good looks. He’s also lucky to have a girlfriend (Gigi Hadid) who is not only gorgeous but VERY successful, and she just gave birth to his child with no marriage commitment. Zayn blames extreme anxiety for his antisocial behavior, but he should have gotten a grip on it by now. In 2015 he walked out on perhaps the most successful music group of all time – One Direction -at the height of their popularity, and left his bandmates in SHOCK. He didn’t even try to explain or mend friendships with them. Why? He says he wants to have a solo career, but backed out of touring. Zayn is extremely lucky, but remains his own worst enemy.

ZAYN MALIK: HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION?

Here’s something you don’t see very often – or, to be more precise – EVER. Zayn Malik, 28, is OUT OF THE HOUSE and walking down a street in public! With his girlfriend and baby, no less! Gigi Hadid is often seen pushing their baby Khai around New York in a carriage, but this is the first time we’ve seen dad show up. The reclusive former One Direction singer spends his time hiding out at a Hadid family farm in Pennsylvania or his Soho, NY apartment, where he’s been making music to no avail. Being a hermit (Zayn admits he suffers from anxiety) has NOT helped his career. He wasn’t the most popular/social guy in One Direction, but most people agreed he was the Best Looking, and he had loads of drooling fans. In January he released an album ironically titled No One is Listening, and no one did. It got decent reviews, but was the worst selling of his career. This gorgeous guy needs to get a grip and stop hiding from fans before it’s too late.

GIGI HADID : GOOFIEST OUTFIT OF THE WEEK

Gigi Hadid braved the cold NY weather to take her baby for a stroll in a truly goofy outfit today. Imagine a puffy jacket that ends at your ribs! Maybe she wants the world to know that she lost her baby weight. Gigi is in the middle of putting together a birthday celebration for that missing-in-action boyfriend of hers, Zayn Malik. She had a truckload of vintage flashy arcade games delivered to her apartment, so it looks like it will be a fun event…

ZAYN MALIK: LONG TIME NO SEE

Five years ago when One Direction was on top of the world in terms of popularity, Zayn Malik (who was generally considered to be the best looking member of the group) WALKED AWAY! He wasn’t happy with the music they were making for their teen fans, but he also had problems adjusting to his lack of privacy. Zayn was the quietest in the group and didn’t seem to have a sense of humor about his success. He suffered with anxiety and continued making his own music, but became more reclusive. Certainly that contributed to the split with his sociable girlfriend Gigi Hadid. For the past year he’s rarely been seen in public. This week Zayn and Gigi were spotted out together twice- are they more than just friends? Hopefully she can help him appreciate his success.
