Zayn Malik reveals rare update about daughter Khai as he gives insight into life on his farm
Zayn Malik has updated fans about his life in America
Zayn Malik has given a rare insight into his life in America with his young daughter, Khai.
Zayn, 31, split with Khai's mum, model Gigi Hadid back in 2021, following a reported family dispute between Zayn and Gigi's mum, Yolanda Hadid.
Now, the pair co-parent their daughter, with the former One Direction singer spending time between the UK and his ranch in Pennsylvania.

In a new interview, Zayn has given some insight into his quiet life on the farm, explaining the ranch is filled with animals that he looks after with Khai.
"I've got a farm, I've lived on my farm for about five or six years now," he told Capital FM Breakfast's Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby.
"I've got chickens, couple of turtles, dogs, cats. Eventually going to branch out to making it a bit more of a proper farm when I have the time, but it's a lot of work looking after a lot of animals. I want horses eventually, would like to get some horses."
Zayn also revealed that he names his animals too, adding: "You have to be somewhat connected to your animals, and I like to name, my daughter helps me with naming them now too so it's fun."
He even has three turtles, explaining: "I have three now. Raph, Mikey and Donatello, one of them died quite recently that was quite sad."
Zayn is releasing his new studio album, Room Under The Stairs, next month.
Announcing the big news on Instagram, he wrote: "ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS 17.05.2024 PRE-ORDER FRIDAY."
In a teaser, he added: "I think the intention behind this album fully is for the listener to get more insight on me personally as a human being - my ambitions, my fears - and for them to have a connection with that.
"And that's why it's so raw, you know, it's just me writing this. I didn't want anyone else to be in between me and the music, and the music and the people listening to it."
Zayn's last album was back in 2021, but the singer has been doing a few gigs here and there in the run-up to the album dropping.
Apparently, he's been getting stuck into some secret gigs in Los Angeles.
"I don't know if there's any footage of it, hopefully not, but yeah probably a few karaoke nights in between for sure," he explained.
