New dad, Zayn Malik failed to attend his younger sister Waliyha’s wedding to her ex-convict partner.
Waliyha, 22, is said to have tied the knot with Junaid Khan, 24, who was jailed for five years in 2017 for a carjacking incident.
The former One Direction star, 27, was nowhere to be seen in snaps from the wedding ceremony, while his partner Gigi Hadid, who recently returned to work after welcoming her first child, sent Waliyha a message saying she “wished” she was there.
Zane’s father Yasser, was also absent, instead Waliyha stepped out with her mum Trisha in front of friends and family at a quiet wedding ceremony in a relative’s garden in Bradford, UK
Khan was jailed for five years in 2017 for stealing an elderly woman’s car in her home.
The judge also reportedly gave him the long sentence because he showed no signs of remorse.
A source told The Sun: “No one is happy about her marrying him after what he did.
“He’s a thug, this isn’t in his past — he’s only just got out of prison.”
Though her family was not in support of her wedding, Waliyha was all smiles on her special day as she stunned in glamorous golden wedding attire.
Waliyha reshared the moment she cut her wedding cake with her husband Junaid, which featured their initials in gold icing with a “mr and mrs” cake topper.
