Gigi Hadid 

has issued a statement via her rep after a report that her on-again, off-
again boyfriend Zayn Malik allegedly had a physical altercation with her mom.

"Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time,"
Gigi's rep tells PEOPLE after TMZ reported Thursday that Malik allegedly struck the
model's mom, Yolanda Hadid. Malik told TMZ that he "adamantly" denies striking
Yolanda.

Reps for Yolanda and Malik have not responded to multiple requests for comment.

The former One Direction member shared a statement on Twitter Thursday saying
that he had had an "argument" with "a family of my partner's who entered our home
while my partner was away several weeks ago."
