Gigi confirmed she was pregnant days after reports of her baby news first surfaced.
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon from her family's farm, Gigi told the host: "Obviously, you know, we wish we could've announced it on our own terms, but we're very excited, happy, and grateful for everyone's well-wishes."

Zayn and Gigi met at a friend's birthday party a few years before they got together but were first spotted together just three months after he called off his engagement to Perrie Edwards. The couple were outed after they were photographed holding hands in November 2015.
In January 2016 Gigi starred in Zayn’s steamy ‘PILLOWTALK’ video and weeks later in February they confirmed they’re together, starring in their first joint photo shoot for Vogue in Naples that April.
When did Gigi and Zayn go Instagram official?
The couple confirmed their relationship in December 2015 when Zayn posted a now-deleted black and white Polaroid of Gigi holding her beau’s face.
Meanwhile, Gigi shared a topless snap of Zayn holding her cat despite Zayn calling the dating rumours “just good friends” when he spoke to Zane Lowe that same month.
After finally confirming their romance in February 2016 Gigi posted another snap of Zayn with her cat, this time not cutting out the star’s face and captioning it with a pink heart emoji.
When did Gigi and Zayn make their red carpet debut?

Gigi and Zayn first split in March 2018, with each of them posting statements of their own on Twitter before Zayn went on to unfollow both Gigi and her mum.
However, two weeks later they were seen kissing in New York and in June they returned to posting pictures of each other on Instagram.
Break up rumours hit them again in January 2019, with a source at E! claiming this time around: “After trying for a long time, the couple just couldn’t make it work. Zayn has been dealing with personal things for a while and Gigi has become a comfort blanket for him."
After Gigi briefly dated Bachelorette star Tyler Cameron for a brief few months from August to October, she and Zayn got back in touch toward the end of 2019.
The model confirmed they’re back on with a Valentine’s Day post of her man on her family’s farm before they ultimately called time on their relationship once again in October 2021.
