A photograph of the creator of Guest in Residence snuggling Khai, whose face is not visible on social media, while her long brown hair, adorned with multicolored flowers in a ponytail, is prominently displayed, took center stage in the photo carousel.
“Celebrating you is the Best Day Ever, every year,” the 30-year-old captioned the Instagram image on September 22. “Happy 5th Birthday to the light of my life! You are truly everything so lucky & proud to be your mama!!!!!!! (p.s. 5 HOW ?!?).”
Gigi's post featured pictures of Khai's rainbow heart cake, her pink and purple balloons and banners, and a coloring station devoted to Angel from Lilo & Stitch. During the celebration, Khai made another appearance with her mother.
The "PillowTalk" singer recently shared a glimpse of his time with Khai with the public, despite the fact that Zayn was not featured in Gigi's tweet. Zayn posted a photo of himself and Khai at the BlackPink event in July, along with his daughter's evaluation of the performance.
“@Blackpinkofficial thank you,” In an Instagram Stories post, he captioned a picture of the two of them watching the event. “Me & Khai loved it.”
Gigi, who is presently seeing Zayn and Bradley Cooper have been forthright about their relationship as co-parents. In fact, the model discussed their current situation four years after their breakup and provided unique insight into their parenting schedule.
“Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” in a March interview with Vogue, Gigi stated. “That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.”
Gigi went on to explain their relationship, saying that she and Zayn work together with "love and a feeling of camaraderie."
