A visibly upset Love Island star has expressed her frustration towards her ex-partner after she had to hand over their daughter on Christmas Day.

On Instagram, Malin posted a video of Xaya opening her gifts, writing: “And just like that… she’s gone.”

She elaborated further, revealing that she had to let her daughter go to her father, whom she had welcomed Xaya with in 2022 before their separation.

“It’s quiet now, but I’ll have her back at 4 PM, and then it’s party time,” she wrote above a photo of herself with Xaya.

“Even though her dad didn’t even acknowledge me or wish me a Merry Christmas, nor did I receive a card from Xaya (which I do send to him).”

“I remind myself that people will always reveal their true nature.”

In a subsequent post, Malin added: “A person who cannot even wish the mother of their child a ‘Happy Christmas’ is not demonstrating strength; they are avoiding due to their own limitations.”

Malin then shared a lighthearted video where she mentioned going for a Christmas walk “with someone” while smiling and laughing.

She praised her fellow co-parents before her stories transitioned to a photo of a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Later, Malin posted a delightful picture of her daughter Xaya, showing her followers that she was back home.

Malin welcomed baby Xaya in January 2022 with her then-boyfriend Jared, but he left just a month after their daughter was born, leaving her to raise Xaya as a single mother.

In March 2024, Malin wrote for The Sun about the emotional pain she experiences when her daughter stays with her father.

“Jared left in February 2022, just four weeks after she was born, and I had no idea how challenging it would be to raise her without him under the same roof,” she wrote at that time.

She also described how the loneliness hits her “like a punch in the stomach” when she is alone in an empty house.

“All I want is to hold my baby daughter, Xaya, but she is with her dad, Jared,” she expressed.

When her piece was published in 2024, Malin mentioned: “Jared and I are currently in a really good place.”

“It’s not perfect, and he can be moody at times, but I’ve learned how to handle those unpredictable moments without reacting negatively.”

“He may not have been an ideal boyfriend, but he’s an excellent dad to our spirited, lively, and humorous daughter.”

“Xaya has two loving parents, and I can finally say that together, Jared and I are raising a truly wonderful child, which is all I ever wanted.”
