Zayn Malik Celebrates Daughter Khai's 6th Birthday at Indoor Theme Park
The singer hosted a party for his daughter Khai at Nickelodeon Universe in New Jersey, sharing rare photos from the event.
Zayn Malik recently shared rare photographs of himself with his daughter, Khai, as they celebrated her sixth birthday. The singer, who co-parents Khai with his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, organized a birthday party at Nickelodeon Universe and the Hasbro-themed arcade located in New Jersey.
Malik turned to a winner from the Netflix show "Is It Cake?" to create Khai's four-tier birthday cake. The celebration included various activities for Khai and her friends, such as riding attractions, playing arcade games, and participating in other fun events at the indoor theme park. Malik posted on social media, expressing gratitude to those who made the birthday special and highlighting the enjoyable experience for the children.
Fans reacted positively to Malik's approach to the celebration, with many commenting on his role as a "girl dad" and appreciating what they described as a "normal kids birthday party" in contrast to overly lavish celebrity events. Some noted the singer's estimated net worth of £56 million.
In previous comments about fatherhood, Malik revealed he once gave Khai £500 as a tooth fairy gift, a move that his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid initially questioned. Malik explained in an interview that he believes in providing for his daughter, stating he works hard and wants to give her what he can, acknowledging that his daughter's upbringing might differ from that of other children due to his and Hadid's public profiles.
Malik also shared insights into Khai's aspirations, mentioning her interest in becoming a K-pop star and expressing his support for her future happiness and choices, while also hoping to shield her from some of the challenges associated with a career in entertainment.
Gigi Hadid previously spoke about their co-parenting arrangement, describing it as amicable and planned months in advance, with mutual support. The couple's relationship ended following an altercation involving Hadid's mother, Yolanda Hadid, which led to Malik completing anger management and domestic violence programs. Hadid has emphasized their focus on raising their daughter together with respect, despite public knowledge of their past difficulties.
