The former One Direction singer shared a beachside photo of himself with Khai, expressing his deep love and pride. "I love you more than words allow me to express," he wrote on Instagram. "Grateful for every second I get to spend next to you, as you become the incredible person I know you already are."

Zayn also reflected on how Khai changed his life, adding, "Four years ago today, my life changed forever, and I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you."
