DUBAI: US Dutch Palestinian supermodel Gigi Hadid opened up about co-parenting her two-year-old daughter with British singer Zayn Malik in an interview with The Times.
The 27-year-old model told The Times that “keeping the importance of the child’s happiness at the forefront” is what is most important to her.
“You have a long life alongside this person,” Hadid added of her ex-partner, before adding that she tries to schedule work commitments “when Khai is with her dad. That she can be with both parents makes me very happy.”
Of having her daughter at a young age, Hadid told the newspaper that it was “a blessing.”
I”ve always been quite organized, so having Khai at the time that I did was a blessing. I”m so glad to be a young mum… she has already given me so much… I always wanted to be a mom, but I was never obsessive about it or (thought that) I was put on this Earth to be a mom,” she said.
Hadid is currently promoting season two of the Netflix show “Next in Fashion,” which she co-hosts alongside British TV personality Tan France.
The new season, which was released on March 3, features a group of up-and-coming talents who will compete to win $200,000 and “the chance to share their designs with the world,” the streaming service said.
