Zayn added: ‘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.’ 

Eleven minutes later, Gigi posted her own statement on the breakup to Twitter: ‘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 the relationship, but in life in general.’

The blonde cat walker continued: ‘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.’

Gigi finished with: ‘As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will always be. xG.’
