Thankfully, there wasn't a physical confrontation amid the tense argument, though it almost came to blows. No punches were ever thrown and even the police didn't have to be involved. Zayn was shirtless during the altercation and TMZ's sources state that while Malik was wearing a tee inside the bar, it's not clear as to why or when he exactly took it off in the first place. Malik, 28, has been living a low-key life since Hadid gave birth to their daughter, Khai, in September. The crooner confirmed on Twitter that the supermodel had given birth.
