Gigi also posted pictures on her Instagram, captioning them, “Our girl is 4 today and we celebrated all week!!! She loves animals (fantastical ones too), music, baby yoda, all things nature & bugs, Descendants, anything squishy or miniature, and if possible- will be in the water from dawn til dusk.”

“She is curious, adventurous, loving, and oh so witty Khai- it is my life’s greatest joy and pride to be your mama!!!!

Thank you for the four best years of my life- you remind me to live life to the fullest every day, in the most simple & beautiful ways. Your possibilities are endless, my sweetest love.”
