and have paid tribute to their daughter Khai on her fourth birthday. The 29-year-old model - who split from the 31-year-old One Direction star in 2021 and continues to co-parent with him - gave fans a glimpse into the little girl’s birthday celebrations, which included a Star Wars-themed party featuring the character Grogu (also known as ‘baby Yoda’). Taking to Instagram, she shared a number of snaps from the colourful bash, including one where she is showing the youngster her impressive-looking birthday cake shaped like the character Yoda.
“May the FOURce be with you,” the writing on the cake read. Praising her “adventurous” and “loving” daughter in the caption, Hadid - who is currently dating Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper, 49 - penned: “Our girl is 4 today and we celebrated all week!!! She loves animals (fantastical ones too), music, baby yoda, all things nature & bugs, Descendants, anything squishy or miniature, and if possible - will be in the water from dawn til dusk. “She is curious, adventurous, loving, and oh so witty [two lightening strike emojis] Khai - it is my life’s greatest joy and pride to be your mama!!!!” She added: “Thank you for the four best years of my life - you remind me to live life to the fullest every day, in the most simple & beautiful ways.
Your possibilities are endless, my sweetest love !!!! YODA BEST.” It’s unclear if Cooper or Malik were present for the festivities as neither were featured in her post. For his part, Malik shared his own birthday message to his daughter.
Alongside a sweet snap of him holding Khai at the beach, he wrote: “Happy birthday to the most important person in my life. “I love you more than words allow me to express, beyond proud to call you my daughter..
grateful for every second I get to spend next to you, as you become the incredible person I know you already are. Four years ago today my life changed forever and I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you.” Elsewhere, Malik is preparing to embark on his first-ever solo tour nearly a decade after he officially left boyband One Direction back in 2015.
He confirmed on September 18 that he will be bringing his 11-date Stairway to the Sky tour to the UK and US in the autumn. “Appreciate your patience, love, and support,” the Pillowtalk hit-maker wrote on Instagram. “Can’t wait to enjoy great music together.
This time I really mean soon see you in 35 days.” The tour is in support of his long-awaited fourth studio album, , which he released earlier this year..
