Gigi and her boyfriend Zayn Malik welcomed their first child in September 2020.
The model announced the arrival of her baby girl on Instagram, sharing a photo of her daughter holding hands with Zayn.
“Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world. So in love,” she wrote.
Announcing the birth on his own Instagram account, Zayn added: “Our baby girl is here, healthy and beautiful. To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task.
“The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, and thankful for the life we will have together x.”
Speculation about the pregnancy began in April when TMZ claimed that family sources had confirmed the couple, who have been dating on and off since late 2015, were expecting their first child together.
Three days later, Hadid confirmed the news during an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
After Fallon congratulated her on the pregnancy, she replied: “We're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support.”
