Gigi Hadid confirms she’s pregnant on Jimmy Fallon’s show: ‘Wish we could've announced it on our own terms’
Multiple reports on Tuesday, April 28, claimed that supermodel Gigi Hadid and her pop star boyfriend Zayn Malik were pregnant with their first child. The reports, based on sources close to the couple, claimed Hadid was 20 weeks pregnant. The following day, it was reported that the two were expecting a daughter.
On April 30, the couple made it official. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon for ‘The Tonight Show’, Hadid opened the lid on the news. “Obviously, we wished we could have announced it on our own terms but we're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support," she said as Fallon congratulated her.
Fallon called the news a “ray of sunshine” amid the lockdowns and the coronavirus pandemic. “Especially during this time,” she added, “it's a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it day by day.”
Fallon said that she and Malik should call him if they needed anything and promised that “Uncle Jimmy” would come to their rescue. Talking about her recent 25th birthday and pregnancy cravings, Hadid said, “My craving has been everything-bagel. I eat everything-bagel every day, so I was so excited that my birthday cake was everything-bagel.”
She further said, “I don’t know if it was like my hormones right now or just like quarantine emotionalness, I cried every five minutes for about an hour every time I thought about -- that Buddy (Valastro) made my cake. I couldn’t stop crying!”
Hadid has been staying at her family's Pennsylvania farm during the coronavirus lockdown and Malik is there as well. Per various reports, the couple allegedly rekindled their relationship in December. “Gigi and Zayn got back together right before the holidays in December. Zayn has been reaching out to Gigi for the last month and she is giving him another chance,” a source told E! News then. “She has always loved him and the break between the two was needed.”
Fans of both Malik and Hadid have been having a meltdown ever since the news of the pregnancy came out. They have already declared that the Hadid-Malik daughter will be “the prettiest child ever”.
