Safaa Malik: Bio Summary
How Old Is Zayn’s Sister, Safaa Malik?
Safaa Malik was born on September 13, 2002, in Bradford, England. She is 21 years old as of 2023. She was born to an immigrant Pakistani Muslim father, Yaser Malik, and a White British mother of English and Irish descent, Trisha Malik (née Brannan). Her mother converted to Islam after she married her father. Safaa is the youngest of four.
Safaa Malik has two older sisters and an older brother. Her sisters are Doniya Malik and Waliyha Malik. Her brother was born Zain Javadd Malik but he is professionally known as Zayn Malik or simply Zayn. Safaa and her older siblings were brought up in a working-class family and neighborhood. The Malik siblings had an Islamic upbringing.
Safaa’s brother Zayn once said of the neighborhood they grew up in: “The whole vibe of Bradford is influential.” Zayn added: “It’s not the most funded place, in terms of the government, but there’s a lot of character there. There’s a lot of strong family values. Everybody’s very proud, and everybody’s stuck in their ways. That rubbed off on me a little bit and made me a stubborn person, and made me very aware of who I was.”
“If you weren’t aware of that in Bradford, you kind of got left behind,” Safaa’s brother Zayn said. Speaking of raising Safaa and her siblings in Islam, her mother Tricia said: “I made sure the children went to the mosque. Zayn has read the Quran three times.” Zayn no longer identifies as a Muslim. Growing up, Safaa’s mother Tricia worked as a halal chef at a primary school.
Tricia cooked meals for Muslim children. Safaa Malik attended Tong Leadership Academy, formerly Tong High School, just like her older siblings. Safaa is camera-shy and rarely attends her famous brother Zayn’s concerts, sources say. However, she appeared as herself in One Direction’s 3D concert movie, titled This Is Us. Safaa has gained fame because of her brother Zayn.
