Yaser Malik (father)

Yaser Malik

Date of birth: September 10, 1969

Zayn Malik is incredibly handsome and talented. When you look at him, you understand at first sight, that he was born to become a star. Of course, the boy has good genes. In addition, he has loving parents, who tried to bring him up in the right way.

Zayn’s father Yaser Malik is from Pakistan. He is Muslim, but Yaser doesn’t look and behave like the typical representative of this faith. He has been criticized through social media for this.

Mr. Malik doesn’t tell, from which Pakistan city he is from and how he met the singer’s mother. But it’s publicized, that Yaser wedded an Englishwoman Trisha (Patricia) Brannan. They live in Bradford (Northern England) and gave a birth to four kids – three daughters and one son.

Zayn Malik parents

According to Zayn Malik interview to ES Magazine, his father stayed at home and cared about the boy and his sisters, while his mother was working. In Instagram Yaser positions himself as a “proud father”, so probably, that was the main occupation in his life. Zayn’s father is a kind of Instagram star with more than 66, 000 followers. But he is not so active in social media, because he doesn’t like reading numerous negative rumors about his son, which appear from time to time. It was Yaser, who introduced Zayn Malik to the brightest music stars of 1990s and made him love them.

Zayn is in good terms with his dad. He tells, he values his father’s opinion, and he is one of those rare people, who can be honest with his son and tell that “he is an idiot” (according to Zayn’s words).

It was Yaser, who taught Zayn to value his authenticity. And that become the main reason of Zayn’s leaving the cult band “One Direction”. “I just wanted to be who I am”, the singer said.

Trisha Brannan-Malik (mother)

Zayn’s name and surname are translated from Arabic as “beautiful king”. Even from his name it becomes obvious, that the singers’ parents pinned a lot of hopes on him. And they worked hard to provide their kid for everything necessary.

Trisha (some sources address her as Tricia) plays an important role in her son’s life and serves as a role model for him. She was born in Bradford, England and grew up in British middle class family. Trisha’s parents ran a pub. Soon she fell in love with a Pakistani boy Yaser. Trisha Brannan changed her faith to Muslim, when decided to marry her loved one. “It was very important for me to understand my husband and to share the same faith and culture with him”, Trisha opened up in her interview to BBC. She made her kids understand their religion too. “Zayn read Quran several times”, the woman told.

After Zayn Malik success at X Factor, Trisha has turned into “Zayn Malik’s mother” for many people worldwide. That makes her happy and proud for her talented son.

Most part of her life Trisha served as a chef. She cooked halal food for Muslim kids. After becoming rich and popular, Zayn convinced Trisha to quit her job. Now she lives from her son’s financial support.

Currently Trisha, Yaser and their youngest daughter live in a big house, which Zayn presented them. Two other Zayn Malik sisters have already left parents’ nest.
