Here are some photos of Zayn Malik at the amfAR gala last Friday. Gigi Hadid was in NYC at the same time, but they didn’t go to the event together, even though they are very much back together. They spent time together in NYC, and after Zayn canceled a performance over the weekend, Gigi responded online. Here’s what Zayn wrote:

And here’s Gigi’s response.

Because I’m not a 1Der nor am I 12 years old, I really didn’t know Zayn had such severe anxiety issues, to the point where he has to cancel performances. So did Zayn’s anxiety play a part in their very temporary split? And was Zayn really the one who broke it off with Gigi? According to People Magazine, Gigi was the one who dumped Zayn after she caught him lying to her. Huh.
“They have been working on their communication and being honest with each other and so far things are great,” says a Hadid source, who confirms the duo are “back together.” “They were fighting all the time and Gigi caught Zayn in a handful of lies and couldn’t take the mystery anymore, so she dumped him.”
According to the source, the breakup didn’t stick because the former One Direction band member “kept incessantly apologizing and wanted another chance.”
“Gigi gave it to him, and now he’s determined to prove himself to her.,” adds the source. “Everything’s good at the moment, but things could change overnight. Zayn is really going to need to continue to prove himself to her. Otherwise, she may not stick around.”
This version of the split is not how it came across at all. It felt like Zayn wasn’t into it anymore and he was causing problems and hoping that Gigi would dump him, and when she didn’t, he dumped her and she tried to win him back. But sure, I guess if People Magazine is running with this version, it must be true?

If you believe this is a real relationship and not cooked up in a PR office.
+1000
+2000
both sisters had famous boyfriends right out of the gate riiiiiiiiight.
+3000 lol
Exactly this!
Hard to know who dumped who, as Gigis camp is clearly the one who is providing all the info to E! and People, and i am sure they would want to spin it to her advantage.
I think the anxiety is a more interesting story than the break up drama with Gigi.
Many people suffer from it and its really not something people talk about too much.
I have a very close friend who was crippled by anxiety to the point where his career suffered quite severely . Its quite brave of Zayn to admit this and i hope he gets some therapy.
+1 I hope he is okay too. It’s no joke.
Zayn confuses me. First, he left One Direction because he couldn’t handle the celebrity and wanted to live a private life. So he embarks on a solo career where he will continue to be inundated with celebrity without the buffer of four other bandmates to lessen the anxiety? Although I empathize with his anxiety struggles, perhaps being a pop star isn’t what he’s meant for…
My thoughts exactly. I remember perfectly how he used to go on about how much he craved living like a normal 22 year old guy, only to go back to the studio a week later. Anyways, I hope he takes care of himself.
Nah that’s just the reason Zayn’s PR people gave. He wanted out because he wasn’t doing material he liked. He wanted to do his own thing and apparently couldn’t wait a few months till 1D was scheduled for a break *rolls eyes*
As for anxiety a lot of performers use their craft as a coping mechanism. I’ve done it my entire life…the stage is where my anxiety seemed to go away basically. One of my friends does shows night after night but suffers from social anxiety. JLaw has reported anxiety as does Kristin Bell. Having anxiety doesn’t mean you can be a performer…he just might not have the coping skills to channel it into his work yet.
I think drugs were involved in him quitting 1D as well.
Because he has anxiety he shouldn’t do music? I can’t say i agree with that. You should do what you love. People with anxiety should be able to follow their dreams too.
Zayn wants to be a singer, because he enjoys it and has a knack for it. Simple as. He left the band, because of the lack of freedom to create music that meant something to him. Not to mention, there are a lot of personal reasons behind his departure which he is not allowed to openly discuss. Zayn may not care about the celebrity lifestyle and attention, but it is part of the package. Just because he suffers from anxiety doesn’t mean he should stop doing what he loves.
If Zayn is truly suffering from anxiety (I’ve read tons of rumors that state he is addicted to drugs and that’s the reason he cancelled), then I hope he gets the help he needs and he’ll get no snark from me.
However, the response from Gigi just sounds so desperate to me. Like, I’m glad she’s being a supportive gf, but you couldn’t say this to him in private? In this relationship, she has constantly looked like she’s way more into him than he is. Therefore, I don’t believe this version at all.
It’s a validation of what he said to the public. It’s intentionally made over twitter (and probably all stuff she already said to him in private) in order to confirm his version of events and draw public support. His PR people are likely very encouraging of this behaviour.
This. She’s being publicly supportive on purpose. He, and they just got way more interesting to me. I’m rooting for them.
“she has constantly looked like she’s way more into him than he is.”
To be fair, this probably isn’t new for a guy who looks like this 🙂
Their relationship seems so sincere and real and totally not a contract for either of them…
She might not have gone because it was a MAC sponsored event and she’s a Maybelline girl, right?
What is to be so young again…The Drama, the Feelings, the Depth of it all
hahah!!!!
LOL! That’s what I was thinking. Such drama! And its all out on Twitter.
Poor kid. I honestly feel bad for him but good for him for being honest. No shade from me re: Gigi’s public support of him.
Seems odd that he wouldn’t have it under control by now via medication + therapy if he’s truly battled this for years.
OK sure.
I too question whether he’s using the anxiety card for sympathy and to cover something else. Remember when Prince was taken out of his plane by ambulance because he had the “flu”? Publicists always lie for their clients. Barbra Streisand also famously has performance anxiety, but I don’t recall her cancelling shows because of it. She simply wouldn’t schedule performances. Does Zayne lip-synch in concerts? His voice sounds very strong on Pillow Talk, but it’s amazing what computers can do. He’s a pretty boy, but he’s playing in the big time now. He hasn’t earned the clout to disappoint his fans so early in the game.
I can’t day of his anxiety is ‘real’ because im not his doctor and I don’t know the guy. What I can say is 3 things
1. If you saw his one direction audition on the UK X factor, the guy can sing.
2. Also on the X factor and ever since (b fire they hit it big in the US) there has been coverage of how shy he is – in fact he sat out one of the auditions because he couldnt dance in front of the judges. I believe him when he says he suffers from anxiety pre-performance.
3. I think it’s great that someone is speaking loudly and clearly about mental health issue and owning his ill mental health. I hope he can help normalise it.
He has always suffered from anxiety – in interviews other band members spoke about how emotional he is and how he lets little things get to him. He himself has talked about introverted he is and that he suffers from social anxiety for years.
I get the feeling that she’s more into him than he is to her. But that’s just me I guess because apparently it’s the opposite (or her people want it to appear that way).
Some of the comments here are quite brutal. Anxiety is real you guys. You shouldn’t dismiss mental health issues no more than you dismiss DV.
I don’t know if he has anxiety or not. If he does, I hope he gets the help and support he needs. I think it’s odd his team would book him in front of a 90k crowd when he’s still getting used to performing solo (late-night talk shows, studio tapings, etc. and his album launch party aren’t really the same) if anxiety is such a big issue. Seems like that would be really tough for him. Plus all the UK papers are saying he left the venue 1.5-2 hours before he was scheduled to go on (the concert announced he canceled right before his set, which is understandable). That’s…odd – and unprofessional. Then again, everything associated with 1D is shady.
And not all 1D fans are 12 years old, just saying.
This isn’t about being 12 or 25 years old its about understanding anxiety.
Anxiety is a mental health issue. Its not anything to do with being unprofessional or odd.You are suggesting he would be a control over his emotions and thinking rational thoughts when suffering from anxiety. This is not understanding how anxiety works.
If he for instance suffered a panic attack in the hours before he was meant to go on stage he would not be rational. He would have an acute physical reaction such as shortness of breath, chest pains, its an overwhelming fear where the body reacts in a physical manner.
On another note I hope @Celebitchy will make more posts on this. Because its clearly something people need to be educated about judging from the comments here.
Rumour is he has quite serious mental health issues, hence why he left 1D
Totally made worse by recreational drug use. I think the relationship is real because Zayne doesn’t have a pot to piss in and people are rounding on him as a loser. She could have a much higher profile BF bad boy if it was a showmance. What about Bieber or a kardashian style random rapper?
This proves even more how much of a PR sham of a romance zigi is/was ( i think their teams are playing the dueling narratives to generate even more talk- classic ‘are they or arnt they’ just as they played it in the beginning of the “relationship”) But anyway they used that old worn out persona for Zayn again “the mysterious one”. Total bs that his old team got him to be known for, when in reality if people actually give him a chance and paid attention? Zayn was and still is quite the open book. SMH at anyone believing this nonsense.
Also, anxiety is a REAL disorder- its not the nervous jitters that everyone thinks it is. It can be much worse and make even the most confident person fall in the blink of an eye. It’s a disorder that the individual must learn to cope with. Even acts like Barbra Streisand and Adele have talked about their anxiety disorders. You can live the life you want to live with anxiety, you just have to know how to cope and get your head out of states of panic.
I encourage everyone to read up on anxiety disorders to learn a thing or two.
