NEW YORK • American supermodel Gigi Hadid gave birth to a baby girl over the weekend.
The news was broken by her boyfriend, former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, on Twitter yesterday.
The 27-year-old wrote: "Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful.
"To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.
"Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together."
Malik's post was accompanied with a photo of him holding his baby's hand.
Hadid, 25, also confirmed the news on social media later in the day, writing: "Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she's already changed our world. So in love".
She also posted a photo of her daughter's hand holding Malik's (above).
Hadid confirmed her pregnancy in late April in an appearance on The Tonight Show with talk-show host Jimmy Fallon.
She and Malik have been in an on-off relationship since 2015.
Malik is the third member of One Direction to become a father. Louis Tomlinson has a four-year-old son with stylist Briana Jungwirth, while Liam Payne has a three-year-old son with singer Cheryl.
