Gigi Hadid shares rare holiday photos of daughter Khai baking with Bella Hadid.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid delighted fans this week by sharing a rare glimpse of her family life with her daughter Khai. On January 20, the 30‑year‑old model posted a series of photos on Instagram, offering what she called a “holiday recap” filled with festive decorations, cozy traditions, and sweet family moments. The post quickly captured attention, as Hadid rarely shares images of her daughter, whom she welcomed with singer Zayn Malik in 2020.

Santa Train Adventure

Among the highlights was a photo of Gigi and Khai aboard a “Santa Train.” The image showed Gigi smiling warmly at the camera while leaning her head against Khai, who gazed out the window at the winter scenery. The candid shot captured the bond between mother and daughter and set the tone for the rest of the holiday recap.

Cozy Christmas at Home

Hadid also shared snaps of Khai opening presents by the fireplace, stockings hanging above, and glimpses of her festively decorated home. Fans spotted quirky vegetable ornaments in the kitchen and a personalized Christmas table setting for Khai, complete with crayons and a cardboard gingerbread house. Gigi proudly noted her use of vintage wrapping paper for name tags, adding a nostalgic touch to the décor.

Baking With Bella

One of the most heartwarming moments featured Khai baking cookies with her aunt Bella Hadid. The photo showed the pair at a kitchen island, rolling dough and smiling together. Gigi captioned the moment: “Christmas pie—& cookies w auntie!” The post also included Khai baking a Christmas pie, underscoring the family’s love of culinary traditions during the holidays.

Playroom Surprise

In a video clip, Gigi was seen assembling a toy kitchen in Khai’s playroom as a Christmas surprise. “Got some additions and organized some old favorites to give Khai’s playroom a Christmas‑surprise update! She loved it,” Gigi wrote. The thoughtful gesture reflected her dedication to creating joyful experiences for her daughter.

A Fresh New Look

The Instagram dump concluded with a photo of Khai sitting in a chair with a towel around her shoulders, getting a haircut. “My lil bestie ended the year with the big chop she wanted,” Gigi commented, celebrating her daughter’s bold choice.

Gratitude and Reflection

In her caption, Gigi expressed gratitude for her life and family. “Feel very grateful for this life. Sending everyone a warm Happy New Year hug, and wishing you all a year of joy, peace, and fulfillment,” she wrote.

Family Background

Gigi shares Khai with her ex, singer Zayn Malik. The couple split in 2021 but continue to co‑parent. Gigi is currently dating actor Bradley Cooper, who has an 8‑year‑old daughter, Lea De Seine, with model Irina Shayk.
