<p>American singer Zayn Malik has been accused of physically assaulting Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his partner, Gigi.</p>

<p>According to TMZ, the music star had hit his partner's mother and she has considered filing a police report.</p>

<p>Malik has addressed the report that he struck Yolanda Hadid while on her ranch in Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>The former 'One Direction' member took to his Twitter page on Thursday, October 28, 2021, where he addressed the assault claims.</p>

<p><em>"As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in,” </em>he&nbsp;wrote.</p>

<p><em>“A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”</em></p>

<p><em>"This was and still should be a private matter, but it seems for now there is a divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press.”</em></p>

<p>Malik and Gigi first started dating in 2015, before announcing a split in March 2018.</p>

<p>They welcomed their <a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/singer-zayn-malik-and-partner-gigi-hadid-welcome-baby-girl/3bpl4rs">first child together in 2020</a>.</p>
