In May 2020,Hadid confirmed that she was pregnantwith the couple’s first child.

Just a week after becoming a father, Malik released the single “Better” (viaElle).

The emotional lyrics also include Malik’s doubts that they’re truly meant to be together.

A particularly memorable section actually goes as far as to reference the O.J.

Although their relationship has had its ups and downs, Malik and Hadid seem to be stronger than ever.
