Zayn Malik enjoys gardening with his daughter Khai

Zayn Malik was spotted enjoying family time with his daughter Khai on Saturday.

The former One Direction member, 30, took to his Instagram with a very sweet picture - after one of his typically long breaks from social media.

Little Khai, 2, - whom Zayn shares with ex-girlfriend and supermodel Gigi Hadid - appeared to be displaying some of her creative skills.

The singer proudly captioned: 'Baba farmer, courtesy of Khai. Great photography,' and he added a sunglasses face emoji.

In the adorable snap, the PILLOWTALK hitmaker is captured from the back as he waters grass on his farm.

Zayn came back to Twitter in May to share a thankful message to his supporters.

Since then, he had plenty of treats for his fans, as he shared a selfie and teased new upcoming music.

The songwriter hinted his return to the scene, two years after his last release.

Zayn has signed a new record deal with Mercury Records and a single is going to be released 'very soon' as a pre-save link for his new music appeared on his page.
