Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid had an unfortunate outcome after an encounter that involved her mom, Yolanda. He ended up charged with criminal offenses when he allegedly got physical with her. A fight ensued about him warning her to stay away from his daughter and he allegedly pushed her. That happened in 2021, and since then, he and Gigi Hadid seem to be separated.
Gigi Hadid Co-Parent’s Khai
Although the separation took place just a year or so after the arrival of Khai, the former couple still co-parent their daughter. In April 2020, fans heard the celebrity news that she was pregnant and at the time, Yolanda couldn’t wait to be a grandmother. Some people felt that Tyler Cameron from The Bachelorette might be the dad, but he denied it, and Zayn turned out to be the daddy.

Keeping The Little Girl Out Of The Spotlight
In the video which was also posted on YouTube, and you can see below, the talented singer talked about raising Khai on his farm in rural Pennsylvania. He mentioned that she loves it there and they get to go “camping together.” Additionally, he talked about her potential as a musician when she grows up. Although she’s still tiny, he believes that she shows the aptitude for it.
As for why he wants to let her grow up far from the city, celebrity news, and the spotlight of fame, Zayn Malik explained:
There’s so much for her to do here…We spend a lot of time outside [and] we do the gardening together. We cook outside, fish a little bit, and she’s so into it too, so it makes it fun. I’m just trying to keep her grounded and enjoying the earth, rather than all the noise that comes with it.
