Gigi Hadid’s pregnancy has reportedly been confirmed by her mum Yolanda, who has said she is ‘so excited’ at the thought of becoming a grandmother.

The supermodel, 22, is rumoured to be expecting her first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik.

Neither she or Zayn have publicly commented on the speculation, but The Mirror reports Yolanda has said she is ‘so excited’ over the couple’s baby news.

Yolanda spoke to Dutch publication RTL Boulevard and said that she was ‘shocked’ Gigi and Zayn’s baby news has been leaked, but she is ‘so 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,’ Yolanda said.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Gigi and Zayn’s reps.

Yolanda’s mother Ans van den Herik passed away aged 78 last year.

Gigi and Zayn were not together at the time, and she was supported by Tyler Cameron, who she is thought to have briefly dated, at her grandmother’s funeral in September 2019.

Gigi later reconciled her relationship with Zayn, who she has been dating on and off since 2015, in December and the couple confirmed they were back together in January, earlier this year.

Reports claim the couple are ‘expecting a baby girl’ and Gigi is already 20 weeks into her pregnancy.

Fans are convinced that Gigi’s 25th birthday celebrations had actually been a gender reveal party, as they noticed the strings of her birthday balloons were coloured both blue and pink in snap she shared to Instagram.

But it’s not just Zigi fans that are excited over the baby rumours, as Chrissy Teigen was seen freaking out on Twitter.

The 34-year-old also took a second to congratulate Shahs of Sunset star Golnesa ‘GG’ Gharachedaghi, who gave birth to her first child – with the news announced around the same time as claims surfaced around Gigi.
