Fans were in for a rare treat when Zayn Malik recently opened up about fatherhood and co-parenting his 2-year-old daughter, Khai with ex Gigi Hadid, in an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
The notoriously private “Pillowtalk” singer shared sweet and loving words about his child last week, and many fans commended him for his candor after the interview with Alex Cooper went viral.
Malik discussed his struggle with anxiety, leaving One Direction, love for his pets and his new music during his podcast appearance. He also notably detailed how he believed fatherhood “saved him” and “brought color” back into his life.
“Since I’ve had my daughter, the main thing in my mind is trying to be a good example to her,” he said. “That’s why I’m even doing this interview, you know? I used to get a lot of anxiety around having a conversation like this. And I want her to be able to look at me and be like, ‘Yo, my dad’s doing this.'”
