Perfectly staged: Gigi Hadid shows her baby ball

Gigi Hadid and Zayne Malik will soon become parents together for the first time. The model now shows with some professionally taken photos that her baby ball has already grown properly.

Gigi Hadid and former One Direction singer Zayn Malik are soon expecting their first child together. The 25-year-old model has now posted several professional photos on Instagram that skillfully stage the growing baby bump.

"Growin an angel" can be read next to the first of a total of three posts that Hadid posted within a few minutes. In the accompanying black and white photo, she is wearing a long, slightly transparent dress, and she has put her arms around her round baby bump.

In other shots, she wears a shorter, also transparent model that gently plays around her baby ball in the wind. "Treasure this time," wrote Hadid alongside her third post on the social media platform. She also appreciates all the love and good wishes that she is currently getting.

Hadid first showed her baby bump in July in her Instagram story. At that time she was wearing a green and white checked blouse, with the buttons open at the bottom and the base of the belly visible. She said: "I am pregnant during a pandemic, obviously my pregnancy is not the most important thing happening in the world right now." She has already taken many photos of her stomach, she also said, but now decided to do a professional shoot.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, who is two years older, have been on-off since 2015. Officially, they have only been together again since the beginning of the year. At the end of April the pregnancy was announced and officially confirmed by Hadid's mother. They have not yet revealed the gender of the child they are expecting. An alleged insider claimed in an interview with the "TMZ" portal in April that he knew that the unborn baby was a girl.
