Gigi Hadid stuns fans with rare snaps of daughter Khai, 4, after close bond with Bradley Cooper's child revealed

On Wednesday night, Gigi Hadid shared rare snaps of her four-year-old daughter Khai Malik enjoying springtime before summer officially begins this Friday.
In one picture, the 30-year-old IMG Model's child appeared to be playing with her boyfriend Bradley Cooper 's eight-year-old daughter Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper in a stream.
'Lea is so sweet and gentle with Khai,' a source told People last month.
Elsewhere in Gigi's Instagram slideshow, little Khai sported cowboy boots while feeding two American Pygmy goats carrots inside her family's $3.7M, 32-acre Carousel Farm property in New Hope, PA.
Hadid's mini-me rocked a triple-braided ponytail while holding hands with her on a couch in another snap.
Khai - whose name translates to 'crown' in Arabic - showed off how well she could spell her own initials on the condensed shower door in another candid photo.
The little girl eagerly dug into a frosted mini-cupcake during a summer break celebration that also included two cookie 'cakes.'
Fans might recall how much the Guest in Residence founder's mother Yolanda pressured her to only eat a tiny bite of the large cake at her own graduation party during a 2014 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
But now as executive chef 'Mama' - Gigi (born Jelena) prepares Khai's breakfast menu with a choice of beverages and food options including pancakes, bacon, sausage, toast, Nutella French toast roll-ups, bagel with cream cheese, bread with 'Holland' cheese, and Overnight Oats.
Instagram user @thesarcasticbrunette commented: 'The fact that Gigi's mum wouldn't even let her daughter have some cake to her feeding her own daughter whatever she wants is so wholesome!'
'She's [grown] up so fast!' Instagram user @_tyapr marveled.
Instagram user @rupantyakid agreed: 'Khai has grown up so much! We love a queen that respects her children's privacy and safety.'
Hadid and babydaddy Zayn Malik make sure to figure out their custody schedules 'months in advance.'
The Havaianas collaborator told Vogue last March: 'We help each other out and have each other's backs.'
Gigi ended their on/off six-year romance after the 32-year-old ex-1D boybander's 2021 altercation with her 61-year-old mother, for which he received 360-day probation and was ordered to complete anger management and domestic violence programs.
'There is the hard part of the world knowing this much, and thinking they know everything,' Hadid lamented.

The half-Jordanian, half-Dutch American went Instagram official with the 50-year-old actor-director on May 3 in snaps from her birthday bash after nearly two years of dating (pictured last Friday)
'And at the end of the day, we're not interested in giving everyone our whole story. What we are interested in is raising our daughter together. With so much respect for each other, and not just as co-parents, but what we've been through together.'
Meanwhile, Bradley and his ex-fiancée Irina Shayk - who employ no nannies - share 50/50 joint legal and physical custody of Lea following the end of their four-year romance in 2019.

Seven steps will give you the smoothest bikini line shave this summer – you're probably using the wrong razor to start

WHETHER you're soaking up the sun if your garden or planning a summer trip, it's time to whip out your bikini. And thanks to these handy steps, you can get the smoothest shave before you sunbathe. 2 If it feels impossible to shave your bikini line without causing unsightly bumps or ingrown hairs, don't fret. A former swimmer has revealed the process she swears by for "the perfect bikini shave". TikTok user Emily Guebs (@emilyguebs) shared her wisdom for a smooth finish in a video that has amassed 2.4 million views. She explained that she does not wax, laser, or sugar her bikini line but still receives compliments on the smooth finish. The first step of the process she has mastered is ensuring her bikini line is the last part of her body she shaces. According to Emily, this "gives the follicles time to soften up in the warm water". She also advised her audience to designate a specific razor for that area to "eliminate spreading infection". And as for the type of razor you should opt for, the TikToker said she was surprised by what works best. "I've been using cheap razors forever, as long as you're using one that is staying in a clean and dry environment and you're cleaning it regularly, I really don't think you have to use a super nice razor," she said. She discussed the best direction for shaving to prevent irritation, explaining that it should always be "sideways and down, not up". I swear by my RAF dad's shaving method for perfectly smooth legs - a simple substitute gives the perfect finish And the steps you take after shaving prove to be just as important in perfecting a smooth bikini line. Emily recommended rinsing the are with cold water before patting it dry with a towel. According to the TikToker, you should never rub a freshly shaved area dry. Finally, she revealed her "biggest game changer" tip, which is to spread a pea-sized amount of antiseptic cream across the area. Emily's followers shared their thoughts on the beauty advice in the comments section. "Adds antiesptic cream to beach shopping list," wrote one TikTok user. "Heavy on the don't need an expensive razor! I tried out a five blade there and gave me razor bumps," said another viewer. "This is the first time I've not heard to exfoliate the area," commented a third person. "OMG, antiseptic cream, that's f**king genius," wrote another impressed follower. "These tips are all so good and apply to shaving other areas too," pointed out one viewer. 2

Stephen A. Smith blasted by ex-ESPN colleague in scathing attack after new $100million deal

Stephen A. Smith is arguably ESPN's biggest star, but not because he's the most prepared, according to one former colleague. Jason Fitz, a former ESPN sports radio host who was laid off in 2023 and has since joined Fox Sports, claims the polarizing media figure is actually too busy to watch games. 'Stephen A. is one of the least prepared people I've ever worked with in my entire career,' Fitz told Memphis' ESPN Radio affiliate during a recent guest spot. Smith, who recently signed a five-year, $100 million extension with ESPN, has faced criticism since being caught playing solitaire on his phone During Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Indianapolis. He's since claimed he was multitasking. The controversy surrounding Smith only grew this week when the 57-year-old Bronx native claimed Memphis' notorious crime rate was preventing the NBA's Grizzlies from attracting top-level free agents. 'But there's an element there where cats like Jimmy Butler and others don't feel it's the safest environment. I'm talking to the local authorities in Memphis,' Smith said. 'You've got to clean some of that stuff up because it's dissuasive to NBA players. They have talked about it. I know. They've told me.' And it was that latest controversy that Fitz was responding to when he blasted Smith this week in Memphis. Claiming to work 80 hours a week during his time with ESPN, Fitz admitted Smith 'is busier than I ever was.' 'We see him making content 24/7,' Fitz said. 'So, I guess my question to people in Memphis is: how much Memphis do you think he's actually absorbed? And I mean all of it. Memphis culture, Memphis basketball. 'What the hell does Stephen A. know about the city of Memphis? And the answer to that is only what his friends or his people on his phone, tweet him, or text him. That's all he knows. He is so separated from actual reality. What does he know?' And Fitz didn't stop there. Smith's content, Fitz argued, is rooted in stereotypes rather than first-hand information. 'Stephen A. walks and talks and lives and eats and breathes stereotypes,' Fitz said. 'That's all he knows… Frankly, he has to talk about the city of Memphis because my guy hasn't watched a single Memphis basketball game in probably three years. 'Stephen A. has a staff and info group that feeds him information so that he can have somewhat informed opinions, and they're usually not because he works too hard to actually watch any games.' The West Tennessee city on the banks of the Mississippi has been plagued by gang activity with a whopping 398 murders in 2023 compared to less than 100 just 13 years earlier. But as Memphis mayor Paul Young said in his response to Smith, 'violent crime is down significantly in 2024 and 2025.' He went on to extend an invitation for Smith to visit Memphis, which the ESPN host accepted. 'Deeply appreciate your words and the sentiments that came with them,' Smith wrote on X this week. 'Progress is what life is all about and when it comes to Memphis -where some dear friends of mine reside − I wish for nothing less. The people deserve nothing less. 'So with that said, I accept your invitation to come to your city, as your guest. Let's make it happen. I'm looking forward to it.' As for Fitz's criticism of Smith, it's not the first time sports aficionados have questioned the First Take host's expertise. One such incident popped up in August of 2024, when the self-professed Yankees fans discussed New York's Aaron Judge and his then-teammate, Juan Soto. 'Judge has Juan Soto batting behind him so they can't get around him… they've got to pitch to the brother because you have Soto waiting in the wings,' Smith said ESPN. Smith, as countless baseball fans quickly recognized, was exactly backwards about the whole situation. It was Judge who hit behind Soto in the Yankees' lineup last season, thereby motivating pitchers to throw strikes to Soto in hopes of avoiding a walk and giving Judge the chance to drive in another run.
