Word Gigi and Zayn were expecting first emerged in April after a ‘family source’ spilled the beans about the IMG beauty and her on/off boyfriend of five years.
Shortly after she confirmed the news herself.
Gigi said at the time: ‘Obviously, we wished 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.
‘Especially during this time, it’s a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it day by day.’
Gigi seemed to hint that her child was on the way at the end of August when she shared a stunning photo of herself at 33-weeks.
At the time it was unclear whether she was counting down from the time of the post or the photoshoot.

And her parents have been keeping fans on edge with their hints about the impending birth.
Father Mohamed had the world talking after he appeared to announce the birth after sharing a tender poem for his grandchild on Instagram last week.
But he later clarified that the family was still waiting when asked if Gigi had in fact given birth in the comment section.
When a fan wondered ‘Did Gigi give birth to her baby, please can anyone answer,’ he said ‘No, not yet.’

Alongside the sweet black and white photos, the 56-year-old Dutch model said she was ‘waiting patiently for her angel to be born.’
Sister Bella Hadid, 23, couldn’t hide her excitement either, taking to social media earlier this month to share a photo with her glowing sister.

Things have been going well for the couple as they readied themselves to start a family.
An insider told Us Weekly magazine last month that the couple had been getting along great ahead of the birth of their baby girl.
‘[They are] closer than ever. Gigi has been living at her mom’s farm with Zayn,’ the source revealed. ‘She came back to NYC recently but she plans to spend most of her pregnancy there at the farm.’
The couple spent much of her pregnancy at her mother Yolanda farm in Pennsylvania, where her family isolated during the pandemic.
The baby girl seems to be just the start for the young family.
Back in May People said the celebrity couple ‘plan to have a large family.’

‘They’ve been through their ups and downs, but neither stopped caring about the other.’
Of expanding their brood, they went on: ‘They’ve jumped on the timing of having a baby and are preparing for their new lives.
‘Gigi is young but always said she wants several kids. She’s sensitive and nurturing and will be a great mom.’
Hadid and Malik’s relationship has not always been perfect.
The duo began dating in in November 2015, three months after the musician called off his engagement to Little Mix star Perrie Edwards.
But after just over two years together, the couple confirmed their break-up on Twitter in March 2018.
The pair reconciled in December of 2019 after a year long split, during which time Gigi briefly dated former Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron.
