Gigi Hadid Celebrates Khai's 'Normal' Birthday: A Peek into Co-Parenting with Zayn Malik
Gigi Hadid Gives Rare Glimpse into Co-Parenting Relationship with Zayn Malik
It's not often that we get a peek into the private lives of celebrities, but supermodel Gigi Hadid has just given us a rare glimpse into her co-parenting relationship with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik. The 30-year-old Vogue cover girl took to Instagram on Monday to share adorable photos from their little girl Khai's 5th birthday party.
As we all know, Khai is the apple of both Gigi and Zayn's eyes, and it's clear that they're both devoted parents. In her caption, Gigi wrote: "Celebrating you is the Best Day Ever, every year. Happy 5th Birthday to the light of my life! You are truly everything ✨✨⚡️⚡️⚡️ so lucky & proud to be your mama!!!!!!!" But what really caught our attention was when a fan commented under the post: "I wish her dad would also be there."
And that's when Gigi dropped a bombshell - responding with a simple, yet telling, message: "She was with us both on her birthday!!" followed by a pink heart emoji. It seems like Zayn and Gigi are putting their differences aside for the sake of their daughter, and we couldn't be more impressed!
But this isn't the first time Gigi has spoken about her co-parenting arrangement with Zayn. Earlier this year, in an interview with Vogue, she revealed: "Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance. That doesn't mean that it doesn't change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other's backs." She even went on to say that they've entered a new phase of their partnership with "love, and a feeling of camaraderie."
It seems like Gigi and Zayn are not only co-parenting, but also learning to put the drama behind them for the sake of their daughter. And judging by the comments under her Instagram post, fans are loving it! One person wrote: "I love how natural it is, like a real kid's birthday. Allowing her to be a kid. It's really beautiful." With over 10,000 likes, it's clear that people are craving more of this kind of authentic celebrity behavior.
Khai's birthday party was the epitome of a simple, yet fun celebration. The photos showed an outdoor setup with arts and crafts, cake, and balloons - no lavish, over-the-top decorations in sight! And Gigi's Instagram Stories didn't disappoint either, featuring a picture of Khai riding a horse in her mom's old riding boots.
It's clear that Gigi is making a conscious effort to give her daughter a normal childhood, free from the pressures of being a celebrity kid. As she told Vogue: "I don’t think it would be fully genuine to post nothing of Khai." But at the same time, she's also mindful of her daughter's privacy and doesn't want to put anything up that could compromise that.
So what's next for Gigi and Zayn? Well, we do know that they've both moved on from their relationship. Gigi has been linked to actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares a daughter (not Khai!). The two were first spotted together at a kid's birthday party in October 2023, and it seems like they're going strong.
In the end, it's clear that Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are prioritizing their daughter above all else. And we couldn't be more impressed by their dedication to co-parenting!
