As Gigi Hadid’s due date draws nearer, the model is celebrating with dreamy new maternity photos.

Hadid, 25, showed off her growing baby bump wearing flowing, see-through dresses in a series of shots shared to her Instagram on Wednesday, her first photoshoot as a mom-to-be and a rare public acknowledgement from the model of her pregnancy. 

« growin an angel, » she wrote with a smiley face, adding she was « cherishing this time » and appreciated « all the love & well wishes. » She captioned one photo with the date July 26, 2020, which appeared to be the date of the photoshoot. The baby is due in September, the model’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, previously said.

The supermodel, who is expecting her first child with « One Direction » alum Zayn Malik, opened up to her Instagram followers in a live video last month about why she had been relatively mum about her pregnancy throughout quarantine.

Hadid assured her curious fans that she’s « all good and safe » and that her pregnancy is « going great, » despite the fact that she’s not showcasing her journey to motherhood to her 56 million Instagram followers. 

« Obviously, I think a lot of people are confused why I’m not sharing more, but like, I’m pregnant through a pandemic, » Hadid said, adding, « my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world. »

« That’s a reason that I felt that it’s not really something that I need to share, apart from with my family and friends. Obviously a lot of people have lost lives due to coronavirus that was in the beginning of quarantine and still happening, » Hadid said. « And then we moved obviously into the reemergence of the BLM movement, and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that. »

This would be the first child for Hadid, 25, and Malik, 27, who have had an off-and-on romance. The two were first confirmed to be an item in February 2016, after the model appeared in the musician’s music video for « Pillow Talk, » from his first solo album following his 2015 split with One Direction. 

The two called it quits in 2018, both issuing statements on their breakup. Malik described their years-long relationship as « incredibly meaningful, loving and fun. » Hadid said she was « forever grateful for the love, time and life lessons » they had shared. She left the door open for a reconciliation, writing, « As for the future, whatever’s meant to be will always be. »

They have since reconciled: Hadid referred to the singer as her « Valentine » last February » and shared an Instagram photo of herself and Malik kissing in July, with the caption « baby daddy ☺️ »
