Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are going to be parents! Earlier this week, news broke that the couple is expecting their first child [1], and on Thursday, the 25-year-old model confirmed the exciting news on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [2]. "We are very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support," Gigi said. "During this time, it's a nice silver lining to be able to be home and together and really experience it day by day."

Gigi's mom, Yolanda Hadid, also recently shared her excitement [3] over becoming a grandma in an interview with Dutch outlet RTL Boulevard. "I'm excited to become a Oma [grandma] 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." According to Entertainment Tonight, Gigi is reportedly having a baby girl [4].

The news comes just a few days after Gigi celebrated her 25th birthday [5] at home alongside Zayn and her family. The model and the former One Direction singer first struck up a romance [6] in November 2015, and they have been dating on and off ever since. In February 2020, they confirmed that they were back together when Gigi posted a sweet Valentine's Day post [7]. Congrats to the couple on their exciting news!
