She said: ‘I think as a parent you have to be aware because now I literally have half the time.
‘I work when my daughter is with her father and that is the time I have. And the jobs I want to fill that time with must be satisfying.’
Gigi and Zayn’s relationship was famously tumultuous, with insights provided when it was revealed she had a physical altercation with her mother Yolanda in 2021, during which he was charged with four counts of harassment.
He pleaded no contest to charges after allegedly pushing his former partner Gigi Hadid’s mother into a dresser drawer and calling her a “f*****g Dutch sl*t” in September 2021.
Court documents showed he was required to complete 360 days of probation in addition to an anger management course.
Despite their difficult times, the couple are now happily co-parenting, with Gigi revealing that the time she spends with and without Khai dictates her work.
Gigi revealed that Khai helps with her work for her brand Guest in Residence, she said: ‘Khai and her best friend are our fit models. They come into the office, Khai tries on a dress and then she says, “Do you want to go to the donut shop?”
