Hadid shares a daughter with her former boyfriend, Zayn.
After welcoming Khai to the family in 2020, the couple split up in late 2021.
The model said in an interview with The Sunday Times, “She has given me so much.” “I’ve always wanted to become a mother, but it was never something I obsessively pursued or that I thought I was meant to do.” “Khai was born at a time when I was already quite organized.” “I’m so happy to be a young mother.”
