Gigi Hadid made a rare remark about ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, with whom she shares daughter Khai.

The 30-year-old supermodel shared photos from their daughter’s birthday party on Instagram on Monday.

She shared a heartfelt birthday message, saying every year celebrating her daughter is the best day ever. She wished her daughter a happy 5th birthday, calling her ‘the light of my life’ and expressing how incredibly lucky and proud she is to be her mom!

Someone commented on the post, saying they wished the celebrity’s father could have been there too. This led to an unusual reply from the star, who is known for appearing on the cover of Vogue magazine.

‘She was with us both on her birthday!!’ Gigi wrote back, adding a pink heart emoji.

The exes dated for six years between 2015 and 2021.

Earlier this year, the mother of one discussed how she and Zayn, age 32, share parenting responsibilities in an interview with Vogue magazine.

Gigi explained that she and Zayn plan their schedules for caring for their child well in advance. While things sometimes need to be adjusted, they always support each other and work together to make it work.

The actress shared that she and her former partner are now on good terms, maintaining a loving and friendly relationship.

People noticed how down-to-earth Gigi Hadid’s five-year-old’s birthday party was, especially compared to the extravagant parties thrown by other famous parents. Many of her 76 million followers commented on this.

People were touched by how authentic the celebration felt, describing it as a genuine kid’s birthday party and appreciating the chance for the child to simply be herself. One comment praising these qualities received over 10,000 likes.

Another person wrote, ‘Happy birthday to your lovely daughter! The pictures show she had a really fun and normal birthday – it looks like she had a great time!’

‘Nothing super over the top, just real and raw and I appreciate that!’

And another agreed, ‘Finally a real normal kid birthday party without luxury brands.’ 

Khai’s birthday party was hosted outdoors and included arts and crafts, cake, and balloons.

I noticed Gigi shared a peek at her carousel-themed party, and it looked so charming! One of the sweetest details was setting up coloring stations with wooden tables for guests – such a fun and relaxed activity that everyone could enjoy.

I loved seeing the photo she posted on her Instagram Story – it was of her daughter horseback riding in the *exact* same boots she used to wear when she was a kid! It was such a sweet, nostalgic moment and really resonated with me.

The picture contained a string of emojis and the note, ‘Riding in my old boots.’

Gigi and Zayn have chosen to keep their daughter’s face private, but Gigi occasionally shares photos of Khai with her fans, carefully showing her from angles that don’t reveal her face.

In a recent Vogue interview, the designer explained she felt it wouldn’t be authentic to share nothing about her daughter, Khai.

However, she also wants to be careful not to share anything that would invade her privacy or disturb her peace of mind.

Okay, so everyone’s saying she and Bradley Cooper are a thing now! It’s totally wild after everything with Harry. I mean, One Direction?! Now *Bradley Cooper*? I’m honestly living for this new chapter, even if it’s a little unexpected. I’m already scouring the internet for pictures and hoping it’s real – they would be *amazing* together!

People started reporting that the two were dating in October 2023, not long after they connected at a children’s birthday party their daughters both attended.
