The latest development in the ongoing saga between Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid centers around Malik's controversial remarks on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, where he reiterated his previous claim that he had never truly been in love, including with Hadid, despite their six-year relationship and shared daughter, Khai. According to The News Pakistan, Malik stated, 'At that moment in time, I might have thought it was love, but as I’ve got older, I’ve realised maybe it wasn’t. Maybe it was lust.' This revelation has sparked significant backlash, with sources close to Hadid expressing that she feels 'humiliated' by his comments, as reported by thenews.com.pk. The sentiment across various sources, including Dawn and Cosmopolitan, is largely negative, with public reactions on social media describing Malik's comments as a 'humiliation ritual' and questioning the necessity of such a public disclosure.
