AceShowbiz - Gigi Hadid is happy to be a young mom. The 27-year-old model shares daughter Khai, two, with her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, and Gigi has admitted to loving her experience of motherhood.

"She has already given me so much. I always wanted to be a mom, but I was never obsessive about it or [thought that] I was put on this Earth to be a mom," she told the Sunday Times newspaper.

Gigi thinks she had a baby at the perfect time in her life. She said, "I've always been quite organised, so having Khai at the time that I did was a blessing. I'm so glad to be a young mom."

Gigi and Zayn, 30, have prioritised their baby girl since their split. The blonde beauty also revealed that Khai has some of Zayn's British traits. She shared, "She's clearly a child who was grown in my stomach eating a lot of British food - breakfast, beans, curries. And she still eats like that. She even says some words with a little [English] accent, which I love."

Meanwhile, Gigi recently admitted that the COVID-19 lockdown changed her career. The model explained that lockdown and the birth of her daughter forced her to reevaluate her lifestyle. Gigi - who split from Zayn in 2021 - explained, "I got pregnant and I really started to think about what I wanted after, when the world opened back up. It kept coming back to just a more stabilised schedule where I'm not in a different country every week."

Gigi ultimately opted to launch Guest In Residence, a line of cashmere designs. She said, "This is very stabilising. I have an office that I come to. I know everyone here. I don't have to look a certain way to show up. It's a different experience for me, and it was the right time because I was ready for that."
