In an Instagram post, Malin explained that while three-year-old Xaya will wake up at her home on Christmas morning, she will then go to her father's house.
“Xaya will be with me until 11 AM, and then she will return at 4 PM,” Malin shared in a video.
She admitted, “So, from 11 AM to 4 PM, I’m going to play on the Xbox, indulge in lots of cheese and chocolate, and feel sad.
“Or I might keep myself busy, I’m not sure.”
She noted that this is new territory for the family, saying, “This year marks the first organized Christmas in terms of co-parenting, as last year was a complete write-off.
“The year before, I was in rehab, and the year prior to that, I spent with his family because I felt lonely.
“It’s a really strange time of year to co-parent; not being with your child on Christmas Day is unimaginable, it’s bizarre.
“I don’t even want that to happen, but it is what it is.”
Malin invited her fans to share their Christmas plans, joking that she might need a “big FaceTime call” to distract herself.
Malin separated from Jared back in 2022.
At the time, she reflected on the split, saying, “There was a lot of pressure involved. Plus, he’s only ever really known me as hormonal Malin since I had been pregnant almost the entire time we were together!”
Speaking to OK!, Malin added, “I relied on him so much that I feel like he lost himself a bit. It was best for both of us to take some time apart, so that’s what we did.”
The breakup followed a challenging few years for Malin as she battled stomach cancer.
Around two years later, she faced additional challenges with complications from Xaya being born prematurely.
After her split from Jared and the emotionally exhausting years prior, Malin struggled with binge drinking and drug use.
She has since turned her life around and is now working as a wellness coach.
Malin was a contestant on the second series of the hugely popular program back in 2016, spending twenty-five days in the villa.
