Zayn Malik is making the most of his summer with daughter Khai, while also delighting fans with an unexpected music cameo.
The 31-year-old singer recently shared a glimpse of his getaway with the 4-year-old, whom he shares with ex Gigi Hadid.
In photos posted on Instagram Aug. 22, Zayn was seen sitting with Khai at a monster truck rally, while another snapshot featured colorful beach toys after what looked like a fun day in the sand.
Thanking Airbnb for “hosting our stay and the Chef Service,” he added, “The beach hookup and food were next level.”
At the same time, Zayn’s fans had another reason to celebrate when his music popped up in The Summer I Turned Pretty season three.
While the former One Direction star didn’t appear onscreen, his track Let Me was featured in episode seven, titled Last Hurrah.
The use of Zayn’s 2018 single from Icarus Falls immediately caught viewers’ attention, sparking reactions across TikTok and Reddit.
“Now that’s what I call good boy band choreography,” one fan wrote. Another joked, “Conrad is so Zayn dancing at X Factor–coded. In the best way possible.” A third admitted, “I almost fell off my couch when this came on my TV.”
Between sharing sweet family moments and surprising audiences through his music, Zayn continues to stay connected with fans in the most unexpected ways, proving once again that for him, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact.
