Zayn Malik shares rare photos of his and Gigi Hadid's daughter Khai from her 6th birthday party

The ‘Pillowtalk’ hitmaker opened his carousel post with a glimpse of his daughter’s sixth birthday party. The photo showed Malik lighting a candle placed on a Needoh-themed cake, with Khai standing close by with her auburn tresses kept open. It also showed the cozy decorations, featuring colorful balloons, foil and birthday banners.

In his second photo, Malik offered a closer look at Khai’s birthday table, which also featured a cute tablecloth matching the theme of the party. The image further captured certain gifts the six-year-old received for her birthday, including a Bug Habitat and Butterfly Growing Kit from National Geographic. In the caption, the singer wrote, “Khai’s 6th birthday this weekend!! Big thank you to everyone who made it extra special.”

One of the photos in Malik’s post also showed Khai and her friends enjoying a carousel-style ride for children in what appeared to be an amusement or arcade venue. As part of his caption, the ‘Night Changes’ singer thanked American Dream’s Nickelodeon Universe and Hasbro Arcade for making the day special, revealing that “the girls had the BEST time!”

Another image from the slideshow featured Malik accompanying Khai to a vintage truck decorated with a balloon arch and a large number 6 frame to mark her sixth birthday. The truck was seemingly part of the birthday bash, adding a personalized touch to the celebration. In the image, Malik is seen standing behind his daughter as she points towards the truck, seemingly picking her choice of item from the menu.

While Malik and Hadid keep Khai’s face obscured on social media to maintain privacy, the six-year-old looked like a mini version of her mother from the back in one of the photos shared by her father. In the image, Khai could be seen enjoying an arcade game during her birthday party while sporting a single pigtail braid, resembling one of her mother’s go-to hairstyles off the spotlight.

The former One Direction star’s carousel post also featured a special frame from what appeared to be a pre-cake-cutting moment. The photo showed Khai standing in front of her birthday table surrounded by her friends, seemingly preparing to cut her birthday cake. Malik appeared to go all-out to celebrate his daughter's birthday, but this is not the first time the doting dad splurged on his child. Earlier this year, the singer revealed he got flak from Hadid for giving Khai $500 for tooth fairy money.

Malik’s Instagram post came to a close with a close-up photo of Khai’s lavish birthday cake. The colorful four-tier birthday dessert was decorated with marshmallows, lollipops, and fondant designed as clouds, rainbows and waterfalls. It also featured adorable characters from Squishmallows, a number six cake topper and Khai’s name written on the front. A birthday banner with Khai’s name also appeared on the wall behind the cake. Malik also gave a shoutout to The London Baker in his post, writing, “The cake is epic, as always thank you!”
