This year has seen supermodel Gigi Hadid swap the catwalk for the cradle as she welcomed her first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik two weeks ago.
The 25-year-old gave birth to a baby girl who she is “so in love” with, as she said upon making the birth of the newborn public knowledge on Instagram.
A fortnight after welcoming her baby girl, Gigi is already an “amazing mum”, according to .
“The first couple of weeks have been a hard transition but she hasn’t complained and is very elated to be a mom,” a source told the publication.
To help with the transition, her mother, Yolanda Hadid, and younger sister, Bella Hadid, have been on hand to assist the new mum.
Yolanda has been helping Gigi and Zayn and has basically become a “built-in nurse”, which the new parents are “so grateful” for.
Meanwhile, Bella has already taken to the role of being a doting auntie and has been “having fun shopping for her and dressing her up”.
As for the name of baby Hadid-Malik, which has been kept private by the couple, is “unique” but the alleged source wouldn’t give anything else away.
Gigi’s pregnancy was first reported on back in April. The model first spoke of her pregnancy – news which was revealed in the press and not by Gigi or Zayn – during a video call appearance on , admitting they would have liked to reveal the news on their “own terms”, but also thanked everyone for their congratulations.
“Obviously, we wish we could’ve announced it on our own terms, but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support,” she said.
Zayn and Gigi originally started dating in 2016, and have been on-and-off ever since, with their latest split taking place in mid-2019. However, the pair reunited earlier this year, but have been keeping their romance away from the public glare.
