The charges come after he denied "striking" Yolanda and alleged that "a family member of [Gigi's] entered our home".

"In an effort to protect that space for [my daughter] 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," he shared.

He continued: "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."

According to court documents reported by TMZ, Zayn was at his home on 29 September in Pennsylvania when Yolanda entered the property.
