<\/p>\nGigi Hadid is opening up about her and boyfriend Zayn Malik\u2019s parenting methods for their daughter Khai.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old fashion icon opened up about the new parents teaching their four-month-old daughter about the different backgrounds, cultures and religions that represent her.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking about what religion her daughter will follow, with Zayn hailing from a Muslim background and Gigi also have Islamic roots through her father, the model said she wants Khai to explore.<\/p>\n
“I felt like I was allowed to learn about every religion when I was a kid. I think it’s good to take different pieces of different religions that you connect with, and I think that’s how we’ll do that,” she said in her interview to Vogue.<\/p>\n
“I think that just giving your child the opportunity to explore different interests is such a beautiful thing,” she went on to say.<\/p>\n
She also opened up about the Islamophobia that she and her brother Anwar Hadid had to tackle growing up and how she wants her daughter to deal with it differently.<\/p>\n
“My brother, when he was in elementary school, someone said to him, ‘Your dad’s a terrorist,’ because that was after 9\/11,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
“I think that [Zayn and I] both want our daughter to understand fully all of her background \u2014 and also we want to prepare her,” she continued.<\/p>\n
“If someone does say something to her at school, we want to give her the tools to understand why other kids would do that and where that comes from,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Gigi grew up in a family of immersed faith as her father, Mohamed Hadid is a Palestinian Muslim while her mother, Yolanda Hadid is Christian.<\/p>\n
Zayn on the other hand, also grew up in a Muslim family with his roots in Pakistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
