Gigi Hadid celebrates her daughter Khai’s fifth birthday and is unusually looking at her young life.
The supermodel joined Instagram Stories on Friday to share a photo of Khai that she shares with Ex Zayn Malik.
She decorated the look with a classic denim jacket and wore long hair in braids. “My girl today is five years old,” the guest in residence designer wrote on top of the photo, adding a tearful face emoji.
“Happy birthday to my greatest love and gift,” she added.
On a throwback slide, 30-year-old Hadid showed off her growing baby bumps and unbuttoned jeans in a white crop top for a photo shoot. “Loading khai…” she captioned the snap.
Another photo shows Hadid shines in the black and white maternity photo taken, writing, “I’m so lucky to be your mom.”
Another sweet snapshot shows a mother who wrapped her hips around her waist while her mother’s daughter was out in October 2023.
“The supermodel and One Direction alum (32) welcomed Kai in September 2020, and her new dad made a soft announcement on social media.
“Our baby girl is here, healthy and beautiful,” he wrote via X along with a photo of her own hand holding the toddler’s small fingers.
He continued. “What I feel now will be an impossible task. The love I feel for this little person is beyond my understanding. I am proud to know her, and I am grateful for the life we are with.”
The former couple parted ways in October 2021 amid allegations of a physical altercation between the musician and Gigi’s mother, Yolanda Hadid.
Khai’s birthday photo comes nearly six months later, Gigi, who is dating Bradley Cooper, now 50 years old, Silver Linings Playbook star. Despite the romance with Malik failed, the hitmaker and models continue to adopt their daughter with “the sense of love and Kamaladary”.
“Zayn and I have a custody schedule a few months ago,” a spokes model for Maybelline told Vogue in March for a cover story. “That doesn’t mean it won’t change here or there, but we’re helping each other and having each other’s backs.”
She said, “What we’re interested in is what we’ve experienced together, not just as co-parents, raising our daughters together, and with great respect for each other.”
