Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, whose on-and-off romance often made headlines, are expecting their first child – a girl – together.
The model’s pregnancy was first reported a day earlier by TMZ. However, at that time there was no official confirmation by the couple or their family. But now, Gigi’s mother Yolanda Hadid has confirmed that her daughter is indeed expecting.
Speaking to Dutch broadcasting station RTL Boulevard, Yolanda said, “Of course we are so excited. I’m excited to become a grandmother in September especially after I lost my mom so recently. But this is the beauty of life, one soul leaves us and a new one comes in. We feel very blessed.”
Yolanda’s mother had passed away in August last year at the age of 78 following a battle with cancer.
Yolanda added, “We are still in shock that our little secret has been leaked to the press.”
Gigi and Zayn are currently quarantining with Hadid’s sister and fellow model, Bella, and family on their Pennsylvania farm. Last week, Gigi had also celebrated her 25th birthday with her family and baby daddy.
