Gigi Hadid says coronavirus lockdown has a ‘silver lining’ now she is pregnant with Zayn Malik’s child – seriously?
Supermodel Gigi Hadid sounds thrilled to be expecting a baby with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik. The American supermodel dropped the baby bombshell remotely on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon shortly after celebrating her 25th birthday, following several days of rumours circulating on celebrity media.
“We wish we could have announced it on our own terms but we are very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes,” Hadid told the show on April 30.

Hadid and British singer Malik started dating in late 2015 and their on-off romance made them one of the most sought-after celebrity couples. They appeared together in Malik’s romantic Pillowtalk music video in 2016 and at the Met Gala in New York – but then announced in 2018 that they had split up.
They were spotted together again in New York in January.
Hadid gave viewers no details about when the baby was due but said the couple were relishing their time in lockdown due to the coronavirus.
“It is a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it (the pregnancy) day by day,” said Hadid.
