Gigi Hadid commemorated her daughter's fourth birthday by unveiling Khai's full name on Instagram. In a heartfelt post on September 19, Gigi celebrated her daughter Khai, whom she shares with singer Zayn Malik, by revealing her last name. Khai's privacy has been guarded, but for her special day, a scroll themed around "Descendants" displayed the name "Khai Malik" among family celebrations including horse riding and water fun.
Gigi’s Instagram caption expressed her immense joy and pride in being Khai’s mother. She described Khai's interests and unique traits, stating: "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." Gigi concluded by saying: "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."
Zayn Malik also shared a tribute on Instagram on September 13, posting a photo of him holding Khai with their backs to the camera on a beach. His touching words read: "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. Four years ago today my life changed forever and I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you."
Fans of both figures reacted emotionally to the full name reveal, connecting it to Zayn's song "Dusk Till Dawn," with comments like "'KHAI MALIK' STOP IM SOBBING" and "'Khai Malik. Our girl, dusk till dawn… I am really feeling something." Others emphasized how lucky Khai is with comments such as: "the way she’s growing up mashallah happy birthday to her she’s incredibly the luckiest person for the parents she has."
Despite their split in 2021 following a dramatic end involving Gigi's mother Yolanda, Gigi and Zayn co-parent Khai amicably. Their daughter, born in 2020, remains a testament to their bond despite any past disputes between the former couple, ensuring she always stays in the safest and loving environment possible.
