How is Gigi Hadid balancing her career along with a co-parenting journey with ex Zayn Malik?

Gigi Hadid, 28, recently gave a rare insight into co-parenting her daughter, Khai with her ex-husband Zayn Malik.

Hadid spoke in an interview with NET-A-PORTER about managing her work while raising her 3-year-old daughter as she and Zayan shared 50/50 custody of Khai.

The model stated that as a result of co-parenting their child, she has had plenty of time to concentrate on her work. Meanwhile, when Khai is with her father, Hadid is able to put in more effort and concentrate on her job.

She shared,

“I think when you are a parent, you have to be intentional because, now, I literally have half the time, I work when my daughter is with her dad, and that’s the time I have.”

She also recognized that she makes an effort to make the most of her time and complete projects that will make her feel the most satisfied.

The sports-illustrated model continued by stating that her daughter has been carrying on her legacy by serving as a “fit model” for her company, Guest in Residence.

“Khai and her best friend are our fit models. They come into the office, Khai tries on one dress and then she’s like, ‘So you want to go to the donut store?”

Similarly, Gigi described how she had just returned from a six-hour drive to Los Angeles while crocheting a unicorn for her child and how she has been reviving old hobbies to connect with her kid.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned.

“It’s just a blob with a horn and eyes, It’s hilarious.”
