Zayn Malik, the renowned music icon, recently spoke about his experience as a father and the influence it has had on his life. In a conversation with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Zayn shared his perspective on fatherhood and the changes it has brought about. Reflecting on his decision to maintain a low-key profile in recent times, Zayn explained that he felt overexposed after the immense success of his music group. Consequently, he chose to step back from interviews and public appearances.
However, Zayn expressed that his daughter, Khai, whom he shares with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, has been a source of motivation for him to be more open again. Emphasizing the impact fatherhood has had on him, Zayn revealed that being a good example for Khai is his foremost priority. He stated, “Since I have had my daughter, the main thing in my mind is trying to be a good example for her,” expressing his desire to inspire and influence his daughter positively. Zayn acknowledged that his anxiety, which he previously experienced, has diminished, and he now embraces interviews and public engagements as a way to demonstrate to his daughter that he is pursuing his passions.
Zayn and Gigi Hadid, although separated in 2021, are committed to co-parenting and raising Khai together. Their focus remains on providing a loving and supportive environment for their 2.5-year-old daughter. The complete podcast episode, where Zayn shares more about his journey as a father, is set to be released on Wednesday.
