Gigi Hadid's father appears to confirm model has given birth

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik’s fans have been whipped up into a frenzy as the supermodel’s father looks to have confirmed that the couple has welcomed their first child into the world, a baby girl.

Mohamed Hadid took to his Instagram account on Wednesday to gush over the little bundle of joy, with a letter titled ‘Grandpa's heart’.

“In the name of God the merciful I want to say l love you and so proud of you Gigi Hadid,” he wrote, alongside the poem.

The letter read: “Welcome my little grandchild, it's me, my heart as happy as can be. I wish for you the sun and moon. I wish for you a happy time.

“Know that Grandpa's always near, I'll do anything, anything for you my dear.

“When I heard you were on the way, I smiled and wiped a tear away. I cried the tear because I know, my heart would always belong to you.”

However, just over an hour after posting the poem online, a fan asked Mohamed if Gigi has given birth, with the 71-year-old replying: “No, not yet”.

It comes just one day after Gigi’s sister, Bella Hadid, shares a snap from June 11th, showing the pair of them cradling their bellies.

“Two buns in the oven except mine is from my burger and gigi’s is from @zayn ✨👼🏼✨ i love you both so freaking much -can’tstopcrying,” she wrote.
