It’s official, super model Gigi Hadid and superstar musician (and ex-directioner) Zayn Malik have split after two years of being one of our fave young power couples.

Both Gigi and Zayn confirmed the rumours about the break up with heartfelt announcements posted on twitter. Gigi posted:

“Breakup statements often seem impersonal because there is no way to put into words what two people experience together over a few years .. not only in the relationship but in life in general.

I’m forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for. ❤ As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will always be. xG”

Here’s the OG post which has already gained more 80K likes:

At about the same time, Zayn posted this message:

“Gigi and I had ana incredibly, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend. She has such an incredible soul. I’m grateful to all of 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. xZ”

Here’s Zayns post with a whopping 162K likes and more than 60K replies:

Zayn and Gigi started dating back in November 2015 after Zayn performed at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and asked Gigi out. Since then it’s been all cute couple content, tattoos (?), a brief break up, a severely roasted Vogue cover, but mostly just a sweet relationship between two of our fave young stars.

At least it sounds like the two have had an amicable split (at least that’s the PR angle) and while we’ve all been super invested in the extremely good-looking and talented power couple, now we’ve gotta remember to respect their post-breakup privacy.

But #NeverForget <3
