Congratulations are in order for Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, who are expecting their first child together.
Gigi's mum Yolanda confirmed the good news yesterday, saying that while she was 'shocked our little secret got leaked to press,' she is very 'excited'.
'I’m excited to become a grandmother 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,' she told RTL Boulevard, a Dutch publication. Gigi and Bella's grandmother sadly passed away last year at 78-years-old, following a battle with cancer.
Yesterday, TMZ reported that Gigi is five months pregnant with on-off boyfriend Zayn. The pair started dating in 2015 - however, they split three years later and reconciled late last year.
Gigi celebrated her 25th birthday over the weekend with Zayn and her family, who have all been isolating together at the Hadid's Pennsylvania farm.

In February, the model hinted that she was thinking of having children. '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 modeling,' she said during an interview with i-D magazine{
