Bad news for fans of beautiful people in love with each other: Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have officially called it quits after more than two years together.
"Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship," the singer wrote on Tuesday, asking for fans to respect "this difficult decision and our privacy."
Gigi also posted a message to Twitter, saying she was "forever grateful for the love, time, and life lessons" that she shared with Zayn.
The pair's tweets came after British newspaper the Sun reported their split earlier in the day.
A source told the newspaper:
Sadly Zayn and Gigi have separated. They are no longer a couple but they do remain close and are supportive of each other. The reality is that theyโve grown apart, having been together for a long time. They have crazy work schedules that would put pressure on any relationship.
Eagle-eyed fans had already noted Zayn had unfollowed Gigi on Instagram.

Here's to remembering the world's most attractive couple in happier times โ like when they owned the red carpet at the Met Gala in 2016.
Or the time that Gigi sent Zayn this message telling him she loved him and was proud of him for disclosing that he'd canceled a concert due to anxiety.
