Superstar couple Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have announced they have split after two years together.

UK newspaper The Sun broke the story, blaming busy work schedules on both sides of the relationship.

The 22-year-old model and former One Directioner, 25, both posted messages on Twitter.

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

“I’m forever grateful for the love, time and life lessons Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend as that I have immense respect and love for.

“As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will always be. x G.”

Meanwhile, Zayn added: “Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, 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 would have come from us first. We love you all.”
