News reports said the model was 20 weeks along into her pregnancy, and she said she does regret that they weren't able to share the news on their own terms. Gigi opened up to the TV host about celebrating her birthday while on lockdown and revealed what her pregnancy cravings have been so far–and how her hormones have her crying every five minutes.
She confirmed the news to Jimmy Fallon.
Gigi appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon via video chat on Thursday, April 30, to confirm that she is pregnant with her first child after news reports surfaced earlier this week. "Gigi Hadid confirms her first pregnancy and shares first cravings," the late night show teased on Instagram with a short clip of the interview. "Gigi opens up to Jimmy about experiencing her first pregnancy in quarantine and how excited she was after receiving a surprise birthday cake from the Cake Boss! #FallonAtHome."
Gigi opened up about the baby news leaking.
"Obviously, we wish we could have announced it on our own terms, but we're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well-wishes and support, so thank you," the supermodel said. The TV host shared some words of wisdom, calling the baby news "a ray of sunshine we all needed," and told her to to enjoy every moment. "I'm trying. Especially during this time, it's a nice silver lining to be home and together and really experience it day by day," Gigi said.
Gigi's birthday was extra emotional.
The supermodel's family made sure the pregnant birthday girl got what she wanted. They called on some assistance from Cake Boss star Buddy Valastro to re-create her top pregnancy craving in the form of a cake. "My family brought out an everything bagel cake, which already blew my mind because my craving has been everything bagels. I eat an everything bagel a day, and I was already so excited that my birthday cake was an everything bagel. Then I found out that Buddy the Cake Boss made my cake. It was marble cake with chocolate chip butter cream inside," she said. "I don't know if it was my hormones or just quarantine emotion, but I cried every five minutes for like an hour every time I thought about that Buddy made my cake. I couldn't stop crying of happiness and honored that he would make me a cake during quarantine."
Gigi's mom confirmed the baby news.
Yolanda Hadid opened up about becoming a grandmother, and she seems to be over the moon about the family's upcoming new addition, which she implied might be arriving in September. "Still shocked our little secret got leaked to the press. Of course we are so excited," she confirmed to RTLBoulevard. "I'm excited to become oma 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."
Donatella Versace sent her well-wishes.
The model has worked with some of the greatest designers in the industry, and she is close to many of them. Donatella Versace shared a photo of herself and the couple on Friday, May 1, to congratulate them on their happy news. "I’m so excited for Gigi and Zayn!!! Congratulations guys!!!! Such a joy to have good news like this and right now! It will be the worlds most gorgeous baby!!! ," she captioned the cute post.
The first-time parents have a long history together.
The supermodel, who is 25, and her beau, who is 27, are both about to welcome their first child together. The couple reportedly first started dating in November 2015, and after a few breakups and plenty of on-and-off moments, they reunited in December 2019. She is one of the highest-paid models in the world, and the singer was once a member of one of the biggest boy bands in history, One Direction. His former band members Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne have also welcomed kids of their own since the band went on hiatus, so maybe they will share a tip or two with Zayn about being a first-time dad.
