Zayn Malik likely to ‘avoid’ custody battle with Gigi Hadid over daughter Khai

Zayn Malik will likely to avoid the custody battle with Gigi Hadid over their 13-month-old daughter Khai following their break up.

The former One Direction singer and the US supermodel called it quits following an altercation with Gigi’s mom Yolanda at the Pennsylvania home recently.

The reports citing sources say, Zayn Malik is ‘deeply concerned’ about the future of his family and he will reportedly 'avoid' to fight for the custody battle over daughter Khai.

Earlier, the Story of Life singer issued a statement and vowed to protect the privacy of Khai following split with Gigi.

Taking to Twitter, Zayn said, "As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in.

"A place where private family matters aren't thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart."

He continued, “In an effort to protect that space for her I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument that I had with a family member of my partner's who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.”
