Gigi Hadid shares tons of never-before-seen photos with beau Zayn Malik in honor of Valentine’s Day

Gigi Hadid is feeling extra loved-up this Valentine’s Day after welcoming her first child, daughter Khai, with longtime on-off partner Zayn Malik in September.

The 25-year-old supermodel and her former One Directioner beau, 28, celebrated the holiday for the first time as parents, as Gigi shared some never-before-seen snaps of the couple throughout the years.

No question about their immense affection for each other, the pair cozied up to one another in the photos with Hadid telling him earlier in the day: ‘I love you.’

The intimate photo series gave fans a glimpse into the couple’s daily life, with many of the snaps stemming from their time at Gigi’s mother Yolanda’s Pennsylvania farm.  

Gigi wrapped her arms around Zayn’s waist in one picture, before he adoringly rested his head on her shoulder in another. 

Despite his edgy looking exterior, followers were able to see the more sensitive side of Zayn as he pushed daughter Khai in a stroller around the farm and even held up his new go-to ‘Dad’ mug. 

Gigi had initially held back on revealing their daughter’s name – and has yet to show her face to the world – but she coyly changed her Instagram bio to ‘Khai’s mom’ sometime last month. 

She and Zayn recently paid tribute to their daughter by getting matching tattoos of her name in Arabic scripture, Hadid also revealing they have given her the nickname Khaiba. 

In her Valentine’s Day tribute to Zayn she wrote ‘I love you, Valentine && love the Valentine we get to share forever.’  

In and out of each other’s lives since 2015, many assumed that she and Zayn had made the decision to rekindle their romance and make their union official in child-form amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Gigi however revealed last month on Twitter that she found out she was pregnant last year during fashion week (February) as she described being ‘so nauseous,’ in between shows. 

Though she had planned to give birth at a New York City hospital initially, after watching a documentary on home birth her mind was swayed – in addition to the fact that the pandemic would limit the number of people allowed present for the birth. 

She told Vogue that the first person to hold Khai was Malik, as she said, ‘It didn’t even click that she was out. I was so exhausted, and I looked up and he [Malik] is holding her. It was so cute.’

Describing the whole labor experience as ‘the craziest pain in my life,’ she also shared that Zayn had told her it was hard for him to ‘see the person [he] loves in pain.’ 

Gigi continued to allude to the fact that the pair absolutely want to have more kids together in the future as she said: ‘Afterward, Z and I looked at each other and were like, “We can have some time before we do that again!”‘
