According to a report from TMZ, Yolanda Hadid claimed that the singer struck her Gigi’s home in Pennsylvania on September 29. The duo reportedly engaged in an argument after the former One Direction mentioned that Yolanda entered their home weeks ago while his partner was away. Post the incident, the singer broke his silence on the matter on Twitter and expressed his disappointment over their private matter leaking to the press. 

He further mentioned in the letter that he wishes to provide a 'peaceful family environment' for his daughter Khai and wishes to resolve the matter internally. He wrote, "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. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is 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."
