Gigi Hadid is reflecting on the holiday season with her daughter Kai.
On Tuesday, January 20, the 30-year-old model took to Instagram to share a new photo of her 5-year-old daughter Kai and give a “vacation recap” about the two of them spending time together over the Christmas break.
“Classic G’s Snail Mail and Holiday Recap: 🐌,” Gigi began in the caption.
In the first photo shared, Gigi was seen sitting with Kai by the window of the ‘Santa Train’. The supermodel smiled for the camera as she leaned her head against Kai, who had his back turned to her while staring out the window.
Gigi was also snapped opening Christmas presents with Kai sitting by the fireplace at home. I saw stockings hanging over the fireplace.

Photos of Gigi’s house decorated for the celebration were also released. Kai’s personalized Christmas table setting, complete with crayon cups and a cardboard gingerbread house, was seen hanging in her kitchen with whimsical vegetable decorations.
“I love decorating and sitting around again ❤️🔥❤️🔥,” Gigi wrote. “…we were proud to name our vintage wrapping paper this year…”
Gigi also shared a sweet photo of Kai baking cookies with her aunt Bella Hadid on the kitchen island, as well as a shot of her baking a Christmas pie. “Christmas pie and cookies for Auntie!” she wrote about their cooking session.

A video included in the post showed Gigi sitting on the floor of Kai’s playroom, building a toy kitchen as a “Christmas surprise” for her daughter.
“To give Kai’s playroom a Christmas surprise update, we added a few things and organized some old favorites! She loved it 🥹🥲🥰,” Gigi wrote.

The model shared a final shot of Kai sitting in a chair wrapped in a towel during a haircut. “My best friend ended the year with the big chop she wanted ✂️🤘,” Gigi commented.
“…I’m so grateful for this life. I’m sending you all a warm hug of Happy New Year. And I hope you all have a year filled with joy, peace, and fulfillment xG,” the model concluded in the post.
Gigi welcomed daughter Kai with Zayn Malik in September 2020, but the former couple split in 2021.
Gigi is currently dating actor Bradley Cooper and has an 8-year-old daughter, Lea de Seine, with model Irina Shayk.
