As Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid‘s daughter Khai turned four, the former couple came together to celebrate their little one's special day in the most adorable way.
While Zayn and Gigi, who's reportedly dating Bradley Cooper, usually keep Khai out of the spotlight, they couldn't help but share some precious moments from her fourth birthday celebrations. It's a milestone that clearly means the world to both parents.
Fresh off announcing his upcoming UK and US tour, Zayn dedicated the rest of his week to his daughter. On Thursday, he posted a touching tribute that melted hearts everywhere. Sharing a beach snapshot of him holding Khai, Zayn poured out his emotions: “Happy birthday to the most important person in my life, I love you more than words allow me to express, beyond proud to call you my daughter.. grateful for every second I get to spend next to you, as you become the incredible person I know you already are.” He added warmly, “Four years ago today my life changed forever and I wouldn't be the man I am today without you.”
Gigi also joined in the birthday love, posting a series of snapshots that gave us a glimpse into their family life. From kayaking adventures to a Yoda-themed party complete with a rainbow cake and a colorful pony ride, it's clear Khai's birthday was magical.
The proud mom shared on Instagram: “Our girl is 4 today and we celebrated all week!!! She loves animals (fantastical ones too), music, baby yoda, all things nature & bugs, Descendants, anything squishy or miniature, and if possible- will be in the water from dawn til dusk. She is curious, adventurous, loving, and oh so witty. Khai- it is my life's greatest joy and pride to be your mama!!!! Thank you for the four best years of my life- you remind me to live life to the fullest every day, in the most simple & beautiful ways. Your possibilities are endless, my sweetest love !!!! YODA BEST.”
In a sweet reveal, Gigi shared an invite for Khai from Auradon Prep, the fantasy school from Disney's Descendants. The scroll confirmed Khai's full name as Khai Malik for the first time.
Despite their split in 2021 after an on-and-off relationship spanning six years, Gigi and Zayn continue to co-parent Khai with love and dedication. Their birthday celebrations for their daughter show that family always comes first, regardless of relationship status.
In a heartfelt chat with Nylon this May, Zayn opened up about co-parenting with Gigi.
“From 21 to 27, I was with Gi, and we had a kid, and I didn't really take much time to get to know myself,” he shared.
“I only have my daughter 50% of the time. I would have her 90% if I could,” he added. “We go see Disney on Ice or we go see the Nickelodeon theme park. Or we go to the beach. That's how I get out.”
These moments offer a glimpse into Zayn's life as a dad, balancing his career with quality time for Khai.
