Zayn Malik wins the internet with adorable gardening picture taken by his daughter Khai

'Zayn Malik making his daughter call him baba, im in tears,' said a fan on social media

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent post, Zayn Malik, 30, showed off a tender moment he had with his 2-year-old daughter Khai, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend and supermodel Gigi Hadid. The singer revealed that the toddler was the one who took the sweet picture of him strolling outdoors and using a water hose to spray a garden area. 

"Baba farmer, courtesy of khai. Great photography," the singer remarked before tagging a face with sunglasses in the emoji format on his Instagram story. Zayn was dressed in a white jacket, gray shorts, white socks, and white and red sneakers in the picture. He had a buzz cut and some facial hair and was staring down. His tattoos on his hands and legs were clearly visible as well.

'So adorable'

Zayn received praise from his online fans for sharing a photo of him performing fatherly duties. "He's always on the daddy duty but he doesn't share that much. I'm so happy that he shared it with us, love you Zayn malik," a fan stated on Twitter. Another user said, "He is so sweet. Khsi is so lucky to have a baba like zayn. #ZaynMalik #Z4isComing #ZaynIsHere No Going Back." "He’s so unnecessarily adorable," noted one user. "Zayn’s daughter should be so grown for her age to take pic of him as a courtesy," a surprised user wrote. "She must have past 3 years old I guess, I am not sure when her birthday was announced but looks like a grown up KID who got Zayn’s phone….." "Zayn malik making his daughter call him baba, im in tears," another user mentioned.

Zayn has been more active on social media

In case you didn't know, in some cultures the word "baba" refers to the father. This appears to be how Khai refers to her father as well. Zayn has been noticeably more engaged on social media platforms since he came back to Twitter and thanked his followers for saving his life in a moving statement. He has since released a fresh selfie and hinted at a comeback to music.

Before Zayn's most recent snapshot garnered attention, he did the same with an online exchange he had with Liam Payne, a bandmate from One Direction. Liam couldn't help but express his support in the comments section when the 'Pillow Talk' singer posted a teaser for new songs on TikTok. "This sounds big already," he penned. Zayn responded, "Appreciate it bro, thanks for the love." This communication was somewhat of a surprise because Zayn and Liam were supposed to not get along last year, but it appears to show everything is fine between them, as per Hollywood Life.

Fans went into a frenzy when The Entertainer singer deleted his Instagram on Tuesday to tease an eight-second clip for his upcoming album. The songwriter teased a comeback two years after his last release. A pre-save link for Zayn's new song surfaced on his page, announcing that he had signed a new record deal with Mercury Records and that a single would be released "very soon." The 1D hitmaker was seen seated on a motorcycle and roaring the engine before slamming his helmet's visor down. Fans expressed their thrill in the comment section. "New music from Zayn, oh my god," one person wrote. "AHHHHHHHH my ears are READY!!! 😩🫶🏼," said another.
