During a candid podcast appearance, the singer opened up about parenting daughter Khai and admitted that he may have gone a little overboard when it came to one childhood milestone, the Tooth Fairy. The lighthearted confession quickly sparked debate online about parenting styles and how fame can shape everyday family moments.<\/p>\n<p>Zayn Malik opens up about giving daughter \u2018bit too much\u2019 Tooth Fairy money<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the February 11 episode of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uX3nNFjqyT4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Call Her Daddy<\/a>\u201c, Zayn Malik chatted with host Alex Cooper about new music, life in Pennsylvania, and raising five-year-old Khai, whom he shares with model Gigi Hadid.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversation, Malik revealed that he gave Khai a surprisingly large amount when she lost her first tooth. \u201cI think I gave her a bit too much money from the Tooth Fairy,\u201d he admitted. When Cooper asked for the number, he laughed and said, \u201c$500.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The singer explained that parenting comes with unique challenges because his daughter\u2019s upbringing differs from that of most children. \u201cHer dad is a pop star. Her mom is a model,\u201d he said, noting that reality can look different from a child\u2019s perspective in their household.<\/p>\n<p>Malik joked that Hadid wasn\u2019t impressed by the generous payout. \u201cHer mom gave me s\u2014 about it,\u201d he said, but added that he feels proud of being able to give his daughter things he didn\u2019t always have growing up. \u201cI worked my ass off, and I should be able to give my kid what I wanna give her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Cooper asked what happens with the next tooth, Malik quipped that the second one would earn only $5. He also shared that the first tooth holds sentimental value, saying, \u201cI\u2019m gonna keep that one and frame it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conversation turned reflective as Malik acknowledged he sometimes overcompensates as a parent. \u201cI didn\u2019t get to do this, so I want you to be able to feel this,\u201d he said. \u201cI overcompensate a little bit too much sometimes\u2026 I\u2019ll hold my hands up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zayn Malik is giving fans another rare look into his life as a dad.
