Malala Yousafzai is sharing one of the perks that can come from a relationship with an age gap โ even a slight one.
The 28-year-old activist shared an Instagram reel with husband Asser Malik, 31, sharing snippets from their trip to Dublin, Ireland.
“Here’s some free relationship advice: If you marry someone slightly older, like I did, you will suddenly be at legendary rock concerts,โ she began in the clip.
โAnd I will admit,โ she continued, โOasis in Dublin ended up being a show I loved as much as Asser.โ
Yousafzai described the evening at Croke Park as โ80,000 people singing โWonderwallโ in unison, fireworks lighting up the sky,โ adding, โDublin you are magic.โ
In the brief video, Yousafzai detailed more moments their eventful getaway, sharing that they โhopped on a plane to Dublin to see some beautiful scenery, a quick morning hike, around to see Cliffs of Howth, taking in the ocean.โ
She and her husband grabbed some seafood in a beachside village before heading to the historic library at Trinity College.
โEverywhere we went, the Irish people were just so warm. They made us feel immediately at home,โ she gushed.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner captioned the video, โDefinitely maybe an amazing weekend in Dublin: laughter in its pubs, wisdom in its library and fireworks in its skies.โ
In response to one commenter who asked how her trip is related to marrying someone older, Yousafzai said, โBecause Oasis released their first three albums before I was born!โ with a laughing emoji.
Malik shared a selfie from the night on his own Instagram page, writing that Oasis was the “soundtrack of my teenage years” growing up in Pakistan.
โIt felt surreal to finally see them live- made even better by sharing it with the one person Iโd want right there beside me,โ he wrote with a red heart emoji.
The Oasis concert in Dublin comes about one year after Yousafzai attended her โfirst-ever proper concert.โ She and Malik saw Taylor Swift perform during her legendary “Eras Tour” at Londonโs Wembley Stadium in August 2024.
At the time, the Pakistan native shared a carousel of photos on Instagram and penned a powerful message about how “music no longer plays on the streets, and girls and women are barred from school, work and public life” after the Taliban regained power in Afghanistan.
โOne day I hope we will live in a world where every girl will be able to enjoy music and live out her wildest dreams,โ she wrote.
Yousafzai frequently posts about traveling, watching sports and enjoying life with Malik, whom she married in November 2021.
When the โBarbieโ movie was released in July 2023, the two posed for a photo inside a faux doll box while Yousafzai poked fun at Barbieโs catch phrase in the caption.
โThis Barbie has a Nobel Prize. Heโs just Ken,โ she joked. โWe loved the movie, it was so funny and thoughtful I hope this caption doesnโt hurt all the Kens as much as the movie Ken.โ
In March 2023, the couple attended the Oscars in support of a film she executive produced called โStranger at the Gate,โ which was nominated for best documentary short.
In a social media post, she boasted about her husbandโs red carpet garb, writing that he was โlooking handsome as ever in his tux.โ
