While we’ve all known about Gigi Hadid’s pregnancy for the last few months, the supermodel has kept her growing baby bump under wraps.
However, on Wednesday the 25-year-old took to Instagram Live to discuss her new journal with and she also took it as an opportunity to give fans a glimpse of her baby bump for the very first time.
“There’s my belly y’all,” she said after undoing her flowing pyjama top to show fans. She also highlighted that photographs don’t always show the true size of her baby bump because “from the front it’s different”.
Gigi, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik, went onto thank her fans for their continued messages of support, adding that she’s sharing her pregnancy at her own pace.

“I really appreciate your positive messages,” she said. “I’m just taking my time with sharing my pregnancy.”
The model also explained exactly why she hasn’t posted all that much about her pregnancy, as she’s not wanted to take attention away from more important matters going on in the world.
“Obviously, I think a lot of people are confused why I’m not sharing more, but like, I’m pregnant through a pandemic,” she explained, adding, “my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world.”
“That’s a reason that I felt that it’s not really something that I need to share apart from with my family and friends,” she continued. “Obviously a lot of people have lost lives due to coronavirus that was in the beginning of quarantine and still happening.
“And then we moved obviously into the reemergence of the BLM movement, and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that.”

And while Gigi hasn’t shared much of her pregnancy in real-time, the model revealed she has been documenting her whole journey and will share it “in the future” when she feels it is the right time.
“I have been taking a lot of pictures of my bump and sending it to friends and family and it’s been really cute and exciting,” she said. “I’m trying to document it well because I’ve heard a lot of people say obviously, ‘make sure you don’t miss it.’”
Gigi is set to give birth to her first child in September – it’s both the first child for her and her boyfriend Zayn.
It’s been reported Gigi and Zayn, 27, are expecting a girl, but neither of them has officially confirmed the gender.
