Zayn Malik Is "Thrilled" to Start a Family with Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are most definitely back on, and the couple is even expecting their first baby together.

According to reports, Gigi and Zayn are expecting a baby girl and, adorably, the former One Direction singer is apparently very excited to become a dad. A source revealed to Us Weekly, Zayn "couldn’t be more thrilled" to welcome a child with Gigi.

The source revealed, "Zayn has always been so into Gigi and she’s always been such a big part of his life... Even when there were times that they weren’t a couple, the love was still very much there."

And that's not all. Apparently Zayn has always been seriously smitten with the model and would "talk openly with his friends about how he was still so in love" with her, even when they weren't together. Per the source, "He was very hopeful that they would get back together." Basically, it sounds as though Gigi's pregnancy is a dream come true.

Hadid confirmed her pregnancy news during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and said that she and Zayn are "very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support." She continued,"Obviously, we wish we could’ve announced it on our own terms, but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support."
