Gigi Hadid and her boyfriend, Zayn Malik, are gearing up to embark upon parenthood. Before beginning the next chapter in their lives, the couple have shared a glimpse into their close bonds with their respective parents.
Hadid is the daughter of Yolanda Hadid and Mohamed Hadid, who were married from 1994 to 2000. The former couple are also the parents of daughter Bella Hadid and son Anwar Hadid. In addition, the real estate developer shares daughters Alana Hadid and Marielle Hadid with his first wife, Mary Butler.
The Victoria’s Secret model has frequently opened up about how she looks up to her mother. Speaking to Elle for its March 2019 cover story, Gigi shared how the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum’s battle with Lyme disease led her to become independent from a young age.
“Growing up, having three of my family members sick made me very independent,” she explained to the magazine. “My mom couldn’t drive or get out of bed some days, so I took my brother to school with me or I made lunch.”
Gigi continued, “But I also felt a lot of guilt for being the one person in the family who didn’t understand what they were going through. It’s hard when your whole family is in pain and you don’t know what to do.”
Meanwhile, the former One Direction member is the son of Tricia Malik and Yaser Malik. Zayn spoke to Us Weekly exclusively about his close bond with his mother, in particular, in September 2017.
“We have a great relationship, me and my mum,” he told Us at the time. “She’s just a part of everything and she’s really cool, man. I love my mum.”
Us confirmed in April 2020 that Gigi and Malik are expecting their first child together. “Gigi is pregnant and she and Zayn are so in love,” a source told Us. “She’s always wanted to start a family with Zayn.” Gigi and Malik, who have had an on-and-off romance since 2015, got back together in January 2020. Us broke the news that the duo split the year before, when a source told Us that they “tried hard to make it work.”Two months before Gigi’s pregnancy was announced, she opened up about the possibility of starting a family of her own in the future. “I think that as I get older — well, one day I’ll start a family,” she told i-D magazine in February 2020. “I don’t know if I will always be modeling.”

In a 2015 profile with Dazed, the English singer revealed that he purchased a new home for his mother. “She lives in a nicer area now, but it’s still Bradford,” he explained to the publication.

Gigi regarded her mother as her career mentor in an interview with i-D published in February 2020. “Obviously, the first person was my mom. And that wasn’t just in the industry,” she explained. “She always allowed me to be creative growing up, she had such a positive impact and always encouraged me to express myself in any way, whether that was cooking, drawing, trying to learn how to sew or letting me use and break her cameras.”

The “Pillowtalk” crooner said his mother helped him to overcome his eating disorder. “It was a control thing,” he explained to The Times in March 2017. “Every area of my life was so regimented and controlled it was the one area where I could say, ‘No, I’m not eating that.’ Once I got over the control, the eating just came back into place, super naturally.”
Zayn continued, “I came back to the U.K. and spent some time with my mum and got some TLC, and she cooked me food and I got back in touch, mentally, with a lot of the things I'd lost.”

On her mother’s 54th birthday in January 2018, Gigi posted a sweet and loving tribute. “I’ve had the greatest role model since day 1. @yolanda.hadid - your beauty is only outweighed by your compassion, ability to help others, and your endless talents,” she wrote at the time, sharing a photo of Yolanda holding her as a young girl. “I feel so lucky that I got such a bad-ass, independent, smart, and creative human to call my super-mom!”
