Gigi Hadid posted a summer photo dump on her Instagram last night, and buried in the gallery were two new shots of Gigi’s 10-month-old daughter Khai (face hidden, of course, for Khai’s privacy). It was the first time Gigi shared a photo of her sister Bella with Khai, giving the public a glimpse at their aunt-niece relationship.

It’s the fourth photo in the slide show and features the two in New York City:

Bella and Khai have been photographed twice together before by paparazzi, but Khai was hidden in the photo. Bella and Gigi were captured taking Khai on a walk in New York City in her stroller both times.

Bella spoke a little about Khai in Gigi’s Vogue interview earlier this year. Bella explained why Gigi doesn’t plan on sharing her daughter’s face on social media. “I think she wants to be real online, but until her child wants to be in the spotlight and can make the decision herself, she doesn’t want to put her in that position,” Bella said.

Gigi shared an open letter to press, fans, and paparazzi on her Instagram Story earlier this month, asking them to respect her decision to keep her daughter’s face hidden in photographs. She wrote:

To the paparazzi, press, and fan accounts:

As our baby grows up, we have to realize that we can’t protect her from everything the way we wanted to and could when she was smaller. She loves seeing the world! And although she gets a lot of that out near the farm, she also gets to experience other places- a true blessing. On our most recent visits to New York, she has started to want her sun shade lifted up (something she is used to at home) and helps herself to it! she doesn’t understand why she’s covered in the city, or what I’ve wanted to protect her from. I also want her to see the most amazing city in the world – the beautiful and diverse people that walk down the streets of NYC … that is, without the stress of the media circus that comes with parents who are public figures.

I know the laws change State to State, and I’ve seen some paparazzi photos of kids in NYC with their faces blurred- but, from asking around, I believe that that comes down to the integrity of the photographer, publication, or fans sharing the images.

I write this all to say: to the Paparazzi, press, and beloved fan accounts, you know we have never intentionally shared our daughters face on social media. Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age, and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen. It would mean the world to us, as we take our daughter to see and explore NYC, and the world, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE blur her face out of the images, and if and when she is caught on camera, I know it’s an extra effort, but as a new mom, I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do… and I hope this can continue the conversation to protect minors in the media, even if they come from a public family.

I would like to send a huge ‘Thank You’ to those paparazzi who have been so respectful, since I asked theme to keep a distance while I walked with the stroller, since my first trip to NYC with Khai. I see you, and I appreciate it.

For a child, I can imagine that close or dramatic paparazzi frenzies must be overwhelming and disorienting… it still is as an adult that understands and deals with it often.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope you can understand where I’m coming from.

With love, G
