Supermodel Gigi Hadid 'pregnant with first child', expecting a baby with Zayn Malik
Gigi Hadid is reportedly pregnant and expecting her first child with on/off boyfriend Zayn Malik, according to a report by TMZ.

There has yet been no official confirmation from Hadid, 25, or Malik, 27, regarding the pregnancy, but soon after the TMZ report, Entertainment Tonight also claimed that a source had confirmed the couple are expecting.
One of the first celebrities to congratulate Hadid and Malik on the reported baby news was Chrissy Teigen.

Hadid has previously hinted at her hope to start a family in an interview with iD magazine: “I think that as I get older … well one day I’ll start a family and I don’t know if I will always be modelling.
“I love the creative side of fashion, it’s so fulfilling. The people I work with make me so happy, I’m so lucky to be around them. But who knows? Maybe I’ll take up full time cooking!”
Hadid and Malik started dating in 2015, but announced they had split in 2018.
