LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Supermodel Gigi Hadid on Thursday confirmed she was expecting a baby with former One Direction singer Zayn Malik, saying the couple were both excited and happy.
Hadid, who turned 25 last week, appeared remotely on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” on Thursday to give the news following rumors circulating for several days in the celebrity media.
“We wish we could have announced it on our own terms but we are very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes,” said Hadid, according to an advance excerpt of the video.
Hadid and British singer Malik started dating in late 2015 and their on-off romance made them one of the most sought-after celebrity couples. They appeared together in Malik’s romantic “Pillowtalk” music video in 2016 and at the Met Gala in New York but announced in 2018 that they had split up.
They were spotted together again in January in New York.
Hadid on Thursday gave no details on when the baby was due but said the couple were relishing their time in lockdown due to the coronavirus.
“It is a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it (the pregnancy) day by day,” said Hadid.
The child will be the first for both Hadid and Malik.

Congratulations is in order for Katy Perry!
More than a year since her engagement to actor Orlando Bloom, the “Roar” singer revealed through the music video of “Never Worn White” that they are expecting their first child together.
Launched on Thursday (Manila time), Perry can be seen at the end of the clip wearing a white dress, cradling her now apparent baby bump.
The “American Idol” judge also confirmed the good news when she did a live Instagram broadcast after the unveiling of the music video.
“There’s a lot that will be happening this summer. Not only will I be giving birth literally, but also figuratively to something you guys have been waiting for. Let’s just call it a double whammy,” she said.
“I am excited. We are excited and happy. It’s probably the longest secret I’ve had to keep. I’d like to tell you guys everything but I know I would tell you in the best way which is through a piece of music. Because that’s how I speak to you,” she added.
Perry clarified that “Never Worn White” is not the lead single for her upcoming album "KP5" but she said “it is a good way, I think, to start out. I had to reveal that at some point. It’s getting pretty obvious.”
This is going to be Bloom’s second child. He already has a nine-year-old son Flynn with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
