Gigi has only published a few photos of Khai on social media and has previously expressed her desire to keep her daughter out of the spotlight.

“To the Paparazzi, press, and beloved fan accounts, you know we have never intentionally shared our daughters face on social media,” she wrote in an open letter shared to Twitter last July. “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen.”

The supermodel, 27, and the former One Direction member, 29, welcomed their first child together in September 2020 after dating on and off since late 2015.

“To try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task,” Zayn shared on Instagram after Khai’s birth. “The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, and thankful for the life we will have together.”

In late 2021, the couple split up after Zayn “adamantly” denied striking Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, in a statement. He was charged with harassment after reportedly slamming the RHOBH alum into a dresser, causing “mental anguish and physical pain,” according to the citation. He refused to enter a plea.

“It’s a tense situation,” a source close to the Hadid family told at the time. “Gigi and Zayn are broken up, but intend to co-parent Khai in a peaceful and healthy environment. They are working out custody details. They are in contact over Khai and making decisions for her.”
