News leaked
This is actually not a surprising development for their fans
This is actually not a surprising development for their fans as Gigi's pregnancy was leaked by anonymous sources to TMZ. Fans had also started speculating when Gigi's cryptic post talked about a spicy vodka sauce she was having but without vodka. Then came her 25th birthday party, in which balloons with blue and pink ribbons tied on them strengthened guesswork on the baby's gender.
Announcement
It was the supermodel's mother who made it official
This led supermodel's mother Yolanda Hadid to confirm Gigi's pregnancy to Dutch TV program RTL Boulevard at the end of April. "Still shocked our little secret got leaked to the press," Yolanda told RTL Boulevard. "Of course we are so excited. I'm excited to become Oma in September, especially after I lost my mom so recently...We feel very blessed," said Yolanda.
Congratulations!
Congratulatory wishes poured in from several celebrities
Several celebrities including Nina Dobrev, Kourtney Kardashian, Zendaya, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Brad Pitt's reported girlfriend Nicole Poturalski congratulated the couple for their parenthood through double taps and comments. The first hint about the delivery was dropped by Gigi's sibling model Bella Hadid through Instagram. Then, Gigi's father Mohamed Hadid posted a now-unavailable image of a handwritten letter to his granddaughter on Instagram.
Experience
Gigi has been documenting her pregnancy since official declaration
Gigi had announced her pregnancy in May and has been celebrating since. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, she said the coronavirus lockdown helped her to "really experience [motherhood] day by day." She also told BuzzFeed about her pregnancy photo-shoot and her journal that she has been maintaining to document her special experience, apart from posting pictures on Instagram.
