Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are adjusting to their new life as parents after welcoming their daughter Khai in September 2020. The couple, who has dated on-off for nearly five years, has been going strong since reconciling in late 2019. (Hadid and Malik confirmed they were expecting their first child in April 2020.)
Since then, Hadid has posted various updates from her pregnancy, including an expansive maternity photo shoot at 33 weeks. But it was Malik who shared news of their baby’s arrival with the world. On September 24, he wrote on Twitter and Instagram, “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 x”

The outlet also published photos of the duo leaving Justin Bieber’s American Music Awards after party in the same car. Days later, they were spotted holding hands while exiting a restaurant in Los Angeles. An onlooker told E! of the outing, “Gigi and Zayn couldn’t keep their hands off each other.”

They [have] been having some issues lately that involved communication and getting along.” The source continued, “Gigi is really sad about this, though, and in a way would like to work it out.

July 2017
In a major relationship move, the couple appeared on the August 2017 cover of Vogue. However, controversy arose about the theme of the photoshoot and story in question, as Zayn and Gigi are branded “part of a new generation embracing gender fluidity.” Neither one publicly identifies as gender fluid.
Vogue released a statement shortly after, addressing the concerns:
The story was intended to highlight the impact the gender-fluid, non-binary communities have had on fashion and culture. We are very sorry the story did not correctly reflect that spirit – we missed the mark. We do look forward to continuing the conversation with greater sensitivity.

The Sun reported the couple had simply “grown apart,” with a source adding, “They have crazy work schedules that would put pressure on any relationship.”
April 2018
The couple of more than two years was spotted by TMZ kissing in the streets of New York, sparking reconciliation rumors.
May 2018
But before you could call it a comeback, a source told E! that the two parties may be on different pages. “Zayn really wants to be with [Gigi] and has made it clear,” a source told the outlet. “He misses her and can’t stand being apart.” However, the insider said, “Gigi’s a little bit more hesitant.”
Reportedly, the pair “broke up because it wasn’t working and nothing has really changed.”
June 2018
Once again, sartorial choices signaled a reconciliation. On June 28, Malik was seen in NYC wearing eyewear from Hadid’s Vogue Eyewear capsule, according to Vogue.
For the singer’s GQ cover, he resisted labeling their relationship status. “I’m really thankful that I met her…We’re adults,” he began. “We don’t need to put a label on it, make it something for people’s expectations. I had a very negative outlook on things [while recording my first solo album]. That might have been adolescence or testosterone or whatever the f*ck was running through my body at the time. She’s helped me to look at things from a positive angle,” he continued.
July 2018
Next, Hadid defended her relationship with Malik, responding to an Instagram post she was tagged in that claimed their romance was fake. She posted a lengthy comment, which begins, “Seems like u guys tag me in a new post every day … pls stop.. it’s just negative, I really have no hard feelings towards you I just know what a beautiful world there is to go out and live in instead of trying to dissect a relationship between two people that you don’t even know and that you do not see 99% of… for someone who is virtually inactive on the app, I don’t need his follow- my eyes are tattooed to his chest.”
August 2018
Then a report from The Daily Star, via The Sun, claimed that Malik was eyeing a proposal “to prove his love,” per a source. “He’s head over heels in love and wants to prove to the world he’s committed and their relationship is the real deal.” Reportedly Malik “has suggested a secret wedding with no guests.”
But the insider said talks of that kind of commitment halted after Hadid “made it clear they are not ready to get engaged just yet.”
September 2018
Malik shared a photo of Yolanda Hadid holding his GQ cover on Instagram.

January 2019
By the start of the year, multiple outlets were reporting the couple had broken up. On January 3, E!, Entertainment Tonight, and Us Weekly all had sources weigh in on the news.
“Gigi and Zayn have broken up, but not because they don’t love one another,” ET‘s source explained. “After trying for a long time, the couple just couldn’t make it work. Zayn has been dealing with personal things for a while and Gigi has become a comfort blanket for him.”
“They could get back together, but it’s over for now,” Us‘s source said. Malik had “a lot of his own issues that she couldn’t help him get through.” A second source claimed, “She focused all her time and energy on him, but it just got to be too much.”
Meanwhile, E! reported that the couple had been “on a break” for two months. A source said the two “have been spending time apart since early November. [They] think it’s best for the sake of their relationship right now.” But there didn’t seem to be drama, as Hadid continued to follow Malik on Instagram, liking recent social media posts at the time.
In mid-January, The Sun captured photos of Hadid leaving Malik’s apartment, suggesting the two may be back together. But no official confirmation either way was given.
March 2019
In March, Malik made two post-breakup moves that confused fans. On March 2, he tweeted, “@GiGiHadid love you.”

Despite Malik’s public declarations of love towards Hadid, Us Weekly reported that they weren’t back together. “Gigi and Zayn still talk,” a source claimed. “She still has feelings for him, of course, but he has major issues and she knows they aren’t compatible. She’s still very single.”
April 2019
After false rumors emerged that Hadid iwa dating Selena Gomez’s ex Samuel Krost, Malik took to Twitter to clarify his feelings about it all. On April 3, Malik fired off a series of tweets, which some interpreted to be his response to Hadid dating Krost. Amongst the tweets he wrote, “How about you all go f*ck yourselves with your irrelevant bullshit? This ain’t a place for feelings. And you aren’t the person you said you were.”
However, once fans tied Malik’s comments to the rumors, he tweeted more directly. “My tweet was not about @GiGiHadid so leave her the f*ck alone,” he explained. He went on to write, “she is the most amazing woman I’ve ever known,” followed by, “And does nothing but love and support me when lord knows I don’t deserve it.”

August 2019
After Hadid very publicly began dating former Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron, Us Weekly gives a status update on Malik’s feelings.
“He has been sad about their breakup and was very sad after their breakup,” a source told the outlet. The source also added that Malik bought a $10 million New York City apartment “less than 10 months ago” to be closer to Hadid’s place, although he “never fully” moved in.
As for the exes’ relationship, the source added: “Everyone around Gigi is very supportive of her moving on. It was not a good move for Gigi and Zayn to be around each other. It wasn’t a healthy situation for her.”

November 2019
E! reported that the two were in contact again after her relationship with Cameron fizzled. Early in the month, Hadid and Cameron unfollowed each other, signaling an official end. A source told the outlet that Hadid “has always had a soft spot for Zayn and they have a lot of history together.” They continued, “They went through a phase where they took time apart and weren’t communicating at all, but they have been in touch recently. She is supportive of him. They chat here and there but it’s been casual.”
As for an official reconciliation, the source explained, “They are definitely not getting back together but are on good terms right now.”
December 2019
Fans speculated that the pair could be back together after Hadid posted an Instagram Story where she was making a recipe from Malik’s mom. She even tagged Trisha Malik in the post, writing, “Sunday in the kitchen: about to marinate the chicken for one of my favorites!!! @mammamalik’s Chicken Curry Pasta Salad.” Trisha also re-posted the clip and tagged Hadid in a video from a Zayn/Gigi fan account where Hadid was asked “What’s your favorite restaurant in the world?” and she responded, “My boyfriend’s mom’s house.”

A source told E! that the pair is, in fact, back together. “Gigi and Zayn got back together right before the holidays in December,” the insider said. “Zayn has been reaching out to Gigi for the last month and she is giving him another chance.”

On Valentine’s Day, Hadid went Instagram official with Malik (again). She posted a polaroid of Malik on her Gisposable account’s grid, writing, “HEY VALENTINE Z on the farm ♡ Dec 2019.” This meant that tabloid sources were correct about the date of the couple’s reconciliation.

Yet another sign that this couple was fully together? Hadid came to her man’s defense after YouTube star Jake Paul tweeted the following about Malik: “almost had to clap up zane [sic] from 1 direction because he is a little guy and has an attitude and basically told me to f–k off for no reason when I was being nice to him…zane [sic] ik you’re reading this…stop being angry cause u came home alone to ur big ass hotel room hahaha.”
Hadid wittily responded: “Lol cause he doesn’t care to hang w you and your embarrassing crew of YouTube groupies…? Home alone with his best friends like a respectful king cause he has me, sweetie. Unbothered by your irrelevant ugly ass. Go to bed…” Paul later deleted the tweet, but not before social media erupted over the interaction.

Hadid’s birthday photos were significant for another major reason—they provided the first glimpse at her baby bump. TMZ and Entertainment Tonight reported on April 28 that Hadid was about 20 weeks pregnant with her and Malik’s baby. A source told Entertainment Tonight that “Gigi and Zayn are expecting their first child together and the couple is very excited! Gigi has kept the secret close to her family and friends for a while as she’s only a few months along. Once Gigi and Zayn got back together at the end of last year, it was like they never skipped a beat and knew what they had was special. The couple and their families are overjoyed.”
Some speculated that Hadid’s blue-stringed balloons in her birthday photos meant she was having a boy. But TMZ reported soon after that she was actually expecting a baby girl. A source told Entertainment Tonight that Hadid and Malik were “over the moon” to be having a daughter. “At the end of the day, it didn’t matter to the couple what the sex was, but now they can prepare for the new addition before she arrives,” the source added.
By the end of the month, Hadid confirmed the pregnancy news herself on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Obviously, you know, we wish we could’ve announced it on our own terms, but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support so…I’m trying [to be present for every part of it],” she said during the virtual interview. “Especially during this time, it’s a nice silver lining to be able to be home and together and really experience it.”

As for her early cravings, Hadid said her ultimate vice was “everything bagels.” She confessed, “I eat an everything bagel everyday and so I was already like, so excited that my birthday cake was the everything bagel.” Hadid also admitted she got emotional over her birthday cake, made by Cake Boss’ Buddy Valastro, a reaction she attributed to a mix of hormones and quarantine.
May 2020
After Hadid spoke about the pregnancy news, a source spoke to Us Weekly about how Malik was feeling about becoming a father. “Zayn has always been so into Gigi and she’s always been such a big part of his life,” the source said. “Even when there were times that they weren’t a couple, the love was still very much there.” The insider went on to say that Malik “couldn’t be more thrilled” for their new arrival and that the couple was “solid.”
With the debut of Malik’s new ink, rumors swirled that he and Hadid could be engaged. The arm tattoo appears to show the Lebanese-American poet Kahlil Gibran’s poem “On Marriage.” Fans posted side-by-sides of the poem and Malik’s tattoo.

Hadid offered a rare update on their relationship during a Maybelline tutorial for Instagram Live alongside makeup artist Erin Parsons. “My mans is going to be like,” Hadid observed of her makeup look, smiling. “You know what’s so funny, is that I don’t think that he like, obviously when I walk in from work, can be like, ‘Oh that’s an Erin look,’ or ‘That’s like a Patrick [Ta] look,’ or whatever, but he does really love, like, he—how do I say it? He reacts the most excited when Erin does my makeup without knowing. He’ll be like, ‘Wow, you look amazing.'”

She captioned several photos of her home on Instagram, “Spent all of last year designing and curating my passion project / dream spot. Of course it all came together right before quarantining out of the city…. but I’m excited for the time I’ll get to spend enjoying all the special corners that were made with a lil help from some of my favorite creatives (tap!) who embraced my ideas and didn’t call me crazy. 💛 ++ my mamma:) who is the greatest homemaking-sounding-board I could ask for (she called me crazy when required) ☺️ grateful to and for all.”

Per the New York Post, Hadid owns two units in the building and plans to combine them. She bought the first for $3.97 million back in 2015, which includes two bedrooms, two and-a-half bathrooms, and a chef’s kitchen. In December 2018, she quietly snapped up a second unit, a $5.82 million townhouse with three bedrooms and three and-a-half bathrooms, which also includes a landscaped private terrace with a fire pit, barbecue grill, and outdoor refrigerator.
Hadid also showcased her pregnant belly on Instagram Live while promoting her V Magazine Gigi Journal Part II issue. “Obviously I think a lot of people are confused why I’m not sharing more but like, I’m pregnant through a pandemic, like obviously my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world,” she said on the Live. “That’s a reason that I felt that it’s not really something that I need to share apart from with my family and friends. Obviously a lot of people have lost lives due to coronavirus that was in the beginning of quarantine and still happening. And then we moved obviously into the re-emergence of the [Black Lives Matter] movement, and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that.”

“I have been taking a lot of pictures of my bump and sending it to friends and family and it’s been very cute and exciting and I’m trying to document it well because I’ve heard a lot of people say ‘make sure you don’t miss it,'” she continued. “And I will be sharing stuff like that in the future. I just am not rushed to do it, and I feel like right now I just want to experience it, and I write in my journal a lot, and I just don’t want to worry about waking up everyday during my pregnancy and like worry about having to like look cute or post something and like so, a lot of questions were about that and I just wanted to do that.”
Hadid’s comments arrived around the time when British Vogue published a story with the since-deleted headline “Gigi Hadid Reveals How She Disguises Her Pregnancy.” She responded to the headline on Twitter, writing, “Disguise ….? I said in a baggy jumpsuit the front and side views are visually different stories- not that that was intentional or I was trying to hide anything. Will be proud and happy to share ‘insight’ when I feel like it, thanks.”

In addition to her post, Hadid went all out for Malik’s 28th birthday, throwing a small video game-themed celebration at their New York City home. Hadid rented arcade machines and decorated the space with balloons and confetti with Malik’s face on it. The mini party’s guest list was limited as only Hadid, her friend Leah McCarthy, and Malik were the only people photographed at the occasion. (It was during the coronavirus pandemic, after all.)
On Jan. 15, Malik released his third studio album, Nobody Is Listening. The lyrics of “When Loves Coming,” featuring Syd, explores Malik’s thoughts about settling down with the woman he loves—seemingly Hadid. Malik sings, “I need you in my life / Yeah, you could be my wifе for real / Only takes a woman / To show you what it means to lovе.”
On Jan. 22, the couple finally announced the name of their baby girl, Khai. Gigi subtly revealed her daughter’s name on her Instagram bio. A source told TMZ that the couple named their daughter after Hadid’s grandmother, Khairiah, on her father’s side.

February 2021
In early February, Vogue published its interview with Hadid for its March cover. Hadid revealed that she and Malik plan to raise their daughter Khai on their Pennsylvania farm rather than in New York City. “The greenery and the farm-y lifestyle are similar to what made me feel really centered as a kid, and I think that’s really important to Zayn and me,” Hadid said. In the interview, Hadid revealed that her and Malik’s home is close to her family’s farm, where she grew up. “We have our space to be our own little family,” she said.
Hadid also spoke about the couple’s decision to keep their daughter’s face off of social media and generally keep Khai’s life private. “I have friends who are public figures and that’s how they’ve gone about it, and I see their kids really blossom in a different way,” she said, referring to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who have three daughters.
On Valentine’s Day, Hadid shared PDA-filled photos of her and Malik. She expressed her love for her boyfriend, writing to him, “I love you, Valentine && love the Valentine we get to share forever. 👼🏼”

October 2021
After months of Hadid and Malik keeping relationship mostly private, People reported on October 28 that Malik and Hadid ended things again. Hours before the report broke, TMZ ran a story where multiple sources said that her mother Yolanda Hadid claimed Malik “struck” her. Malik denied the allegation to TMZ, saying, “I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.”
A rep for Hadid made a brief comment on the report, stating, “Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time.”
Of the breakup, a Hadid family friend told People that Gigi and Zayn “are not together right now. They are both good parents though. They co-parent. Yolanda is of course very protective of Gigi. She wants the best for her daughter and grandchild.”

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving
Published

On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.
J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.
Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.
Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.
“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.
“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”
This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.
The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.
And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.
But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
