Arab supermodel Gigi Hadid expecting first child with One Direction’s Zayn Malik

Supermodel Gigi Hadid is expecting her first child with One Direction’s Zayn Malik, according to US media reports.

A source close to the family revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the Palestinian-American model and her British boyfriend have been keeping the secret "close to her family and friends for a while, as she’s only a few months along.”

The 25-year-old, who recently celebrated her birthday alongside Malik and her family, has yet to make a public announcement.

The on-again-off-again couple had reunited in December of last year after a long split.

US citizen Gigi Hadid’s father is Palestinian and her mother is Dutch. Her sister Bella Hadid is also a famous model.

On Wednesday, #Gigi was the most searched Twitter hashtag in the United Arab Emirates.
