Gigi Hadid, 29, took to Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 21, to share a series of tender and joyous moments from her summer with her daughter, Khai. The 3-year-old, whom Hadid shares with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, stole the spotlight in a carousel of images that captured her playful spirit and burgeoning sense of style.
A Peek into Their Summer Adventures
The series of photos reveals a delightful mix of everyday moments and special outings that encapsulate the bond between Hadid and Khai. In one photo, Khai is seen drinking water straight from a garden hose, a simple yet quintessentially summer activity that reflects her carefree innocence. Another snapshot shows her curling up in her mom’s lap at a restaurant table, a tender moment that highlights the closeness between the two.
Khai’s adventurous side shines through as she is captured climbing the wall of a bounce house, her determination and joy evident. The mother-daughter duo also shared quiet, reflective moments, such as comparing hand sizes while snuggled up on the couch and enjoying the serenity of a riverbank.
Fashionably Forward
Amidst these everyday joys, Hadid also showcased her daughter’s growing fashion sense. Near the end of the photo series, Khai is pictured standing confidently by the pool, wrapped in a personalized pink Versace robe. The luxurious robe, adorned with her name in gold block letters on the back, adds a touch of glamour to the relaxed summer vibe, signaling that Khai is already developing her unique style under her mom’s fashionable influence.
Balancing Fame and Family
In her caption, Hadid affectionately referred to the photos as a "Big Summer Roundup," giving her followers a glimpse into the duality of her life—balancing her high-profile modeling career with the quieter, more personal moments she cherishes as a mother. "Best of Both Worlds," she wrote, perfectly capturing the dichotomy of her glamorous professional life and the simple joys of motherhood.
Proud Parents
Zayn Malik, 31, also recently shared his pride in their daughter, revealing that Khai is beginning to understand his musical career. He mentioned that while Khai doesn't join him in the recording studio because it's past her bedtime, she is starting to recognize his voice in songs. "She asks everybody, whenever there’s a song on the radio, ‘Is my Baba singing?’ But in front of me, she gets shy about it," Malik shared, showing just how much Khai is already tuned into the music world.
Malik further expressed amazement at Khai's natural abilities, particularly her retention for language when it's presented in a musical format. "She'll remember every song that she likes," he said, adding that he looks forward to seeing what she will achieve as she grows older.
As Gigi Hadid continues to navigate her dual roles as a global fashion icon and a devoted mother, her fans are treated to glimpses of the special moments she shares with Khai. These images and anecdotes from their summer together not only highlight the close bond they share but also showcase Khai’s emerging personality and style, promising a bright future ahead for the little one.
