Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid

Zayn Malik celebrates his 28th birthday today, and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid marked the occasion by paying tribute to him on Instagram—and giving a rare look into their relationship and life as new parents to their daughter. Hadid posted a two-photo gallery, featuring a never-before-seen photo of her and Malik, plus an illustration of him with their baby girl.

"Team No Sleep !" Hadid wrote to him. "Happiest birthday to our Zaddy baba. So special. Love you long time, thank you for makin me a mamma to the best girl ever ☺️ Wish you the best every single day."

Hadid and Malik have purposely kept their relationship more private this time around. The couple has been on-off since November 2015. But Hadid has given more glimpses here and there of her quiet life with Malik. She most recently shared a throwback shot of them kissing on her Instagram Story in December that was taken in April 2020:

Hadid also opened up a bit about their relationship during an Instagram Live with her makeup artist Erin Parsons in May. She discussed the way Malik would react to her when he saw the makeup she had just done during their IG Live tutorial.

"My mans is going to be like," Hadid clasped her hands together and smirked. "You know what’s so funny, is that I don’t think that he like, obviously when I walk in from work, can be like, 'Oh that’s an Erin look,' or 'That’s like a Patrick [Ta] look,' or whatever, but he does really love, like, he—how do I say it? He reacts the most excited when Erin does my makeup without knowing. He’ll be like, 'Wow, you look amazing.'"

In late September, days after their daughter arrived, a source spoke to E! about how parenthood changed the way Malik looked at his relationship with Hadid.

"Zayn was very emotional when their baby girl was born," the source said. "It was an emotional and special moment for him. He expressed that he is forever changed and would never disappoint her or Gigi. He wants to be the best father possible and is so excited." That source added that despite their on-off history, Hadid and Malik were "in the best place right now" following the arrival of their little girl.
