Fatherhood has brought about a shift in Zayn Malik’s entertainment preferences, as he recently disclosed in a candid behind-the-scenes video with NYLON following his latest revealing interview. The “Dusk till Dawn” singer, known for his humor, made a surprising revelation: “I’m Really F**king Funny.” However, he swiftly amended his statement, acknowledging his sensitive side, particularly when it comes to matters close to his heart, such as watching his daughter Khai’s favorite TV shows and movies.
In the interview, the 31-year-old singer opened up about his emotional side, admitting, “I’m actually quite a sensitive guy, I cry a lot at movies.” When prompted about the last film that brought tears to his eyes, he confessed it was likely a Disney movie. Malik shared that he often indulges in Disney films with his 3½-year-old daughter, Khai, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, model Gigi Hadid.
Reflecting on his emotional reactions to children’s programming, Malik highlighted the impact of shows like “Bluey,” a cartoon series that has resonated deeply with him. He confessed to shedding tears regularly while watching “Bluey,” attributing its poignant storytelling to its ability to tug at his heartstrings.
Further elaborating on his emotional connection to “Bluey,” Malik praised the series’ writers for crafting narratives that resonate not only with children but also with parents. He noted the underlying messages woven into the episodes, which often evoke strong emotions and leave him choked up.
For Malik, parenting has been a transformative journey, marked by moments of joy and reflection. He and Hadid welcomed their daughter Khai in September 2020, navigating the complexities of co-parenting with grace and dedication. Despite their relationship’s ups and downs, Malik expressed gratitude for the opportunity to co-parent and bond with Khai.
Opening up about his evolving perspective on relationships, Malik emphasized the importance of self-discovery and taking time to understand oneself before committing to a lifelong partnership. He shared his contentment with his peaceful life on the farm, relishing moments spent with Khai and cherishing their shared adventures.
While Malik only gets to be with his daughter 50% of the time, he treasures every moment spent together, whether it’s a day at the beach, an outing to Disney on Ice, or a visit to the Nickelodeon theme park. These experiences serve as precious opportunities for bonding and creating lasting memories with his beloved daughter.
