Throughout her pregnancy, Gigi Hadid decided to keep the majority of her journey to herself. However, to mark her younger sister Bella Hadid’s 24th birthday, the supermodel shared an unseen pregnancy photo.
Gigi also shared a series of other photos from when the sisters’ were younger, to more recent. One of the snaps included a photo of Bella cradling Gigi’s growing bump from early on in her pregnancy.
But it was the 25-year-old’s message to her “baby sister” that stood out the most.
“Today I celebrate, but am always grateful for, the 24 years that I have been blessed with my baby sister who always has my back and brings me the yummiest treats,” Gigi said. “I am so proud of your constant growth and light.
“You have a beautiful heart and I wish you a year of every opportunity to do what makes you the most fulfilled, sharing that magic near and far. WHO LOVES YOU?! YOUR SISTER. Have the best day !!!!!! HAPPY BDAY.”
Gigi recently gave birth to her first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik, and it’s been reported by E! News that 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 The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, 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.
