Zayn Malik is giving an update on his daughter, Khai, after previously revealing that the little one wants to be a K-pop idol.

The One Direction alum co-parents the 5-year-old with his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, and it seems like she is interested in following in her father’s footsteps.

In an interview with Clarin, the Pillowtalk singer dished, “at the minute she was taking gymnastics, and we’ve had a conversation and she says to me that she wants to start doing dance now properly, so she is taking dance classes, we’ll see where that goes.”

Zayn added that he is not sure if there is specific training needed to be a K-pop star and that she often changes her mind regarding ambitions because of how young she is and that him and the model are here for it.

The English singer was then asked by the interviewer about the advice he would give to someone, or Khai, going in the music industry as per his experience.

“Don’t do this as a job, that would be the one thing I would wanna say to her myself, I would say if you love music, don’t do it as a job, because you’re gonna do this for a very long time and you might lose some of the love for what it is that you’re doing,” Zayn said.

The father-of-one added that he would be supportive of Khai regardless and would tell her to give her 110% in whatever it is that she chooses.

Notably, Gigi has recently addressed the mentions of her and sister Bella Hadid’s name in the Epstein files and called it disturbing and mentioning that she had never met him.
