'I think it's kinda a natural... it's just the way things go, I think you have to expect that kind of stuff,' Cody told the programme.
'I've kind of gone a different way and taken a little time for myself, just hanging out, keeping low key and working on my music,' he said.
Cody and Gigi's teenage romance came to an end for a second time in May 2015 after they dated on-off for two years.
Shortly after their break-up the stunning American model was linked to Joe Jonas and has recently publicly confirmed her relationship with Zayn, 23.
