"Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time," Gigi's rep said.
PageSix had confirmed on Thursday, October 28, 2021, that the couple has split.
“They are not together right now. They are both good parents though,” a family friend told PageSix.
“They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild.”
