Hollywood A-list celebrity couple Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik finally revealed the name of their baby girl four months after she was born when the former took to her official Instagram handle and announced to the world that they had named the apple of their eye Khai. Naturally, the name drew a lot of chatter online given how idiosyncratic it is. Well, the cat is finally out of the bag on why Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik named their daughter Khai.
A source close to Gigi told HollywoodLife, “It’s not a huge surprise that Gigi decided to name her daughter Khai because she chose that name in honor of her grandmother, Khairiah, who is the mother of her dad, Mohamed. Bella (Hadid)‘s middle name is Khair so it’s sort of become a family tradition and a way to tribute their loved one. Also knowing that her grandmother came from royalty, it seemed fitting since Zayn’s last name means king.”
Apparently, the date on which the supermodel revealed has daughter’s name also holds significance as the source added, “January 21st also held significance as to why it was such an important day to reveal Khai’s name. It’s considered a lucky day because it’s a palindrome when the calendar numbers, 12121, are written out so it seemed like the perfect time for them to share her name with the world.”
Gigi Hadid’s husband, Zayn Malik, was the first to break the news of their newborn to the world. He had shared an adorable black-and-white picture of his munchkin clutching his finger and wrote: “Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful…to try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x.”
