Gigi Hadid recently marked what she called her “best day ever” as she celebrated her daughter Khai’s fifth birthday with an intimate family gathering.
The 30-year-old model and fashion entrepreneur, who shares Khai with her former partner Zayn Malik, delighted fans by offering a glimpse into her motherhood journey. On Monday, September 22, Hadid shared a carousel of Instagram photos capturing the birthday celebration.
The first image showed Hadid cuddling with her daughter, while other snapshots highlighted a pastel-themed setup complete with a colorful cake decorated with the words, “Happy 5th BIRTHDAY KHAI!”
Alongside the photos, the supermodel posted a heartfelt message: “Celebrating you is the Best Day Ever, every year. Happy 5th Birthday to the light of my life! You are truly everything, so lucky & proud to be your mama!!!!!!! (p.s. 5 HOW?!?).”
The post came just days after she shared pictures from her maternity shoot on September 19, further reflecting on her journey into motherhood. In another touching caption, she wrote, “My girl is 5 today. Happy Birthday to my greatest love & gift.”
For context, Hadid welcomed her daughter Khai with singer Zayn Malik in September 2020, and since then, she has often shared glimpses of her life as a devoted mother.
