Gigi Hadid Explained on Instagram How She's Hidden Her Pregnancy

From ELLE

Gigi Hadid is due with her first child this September, her mother Yolanda Hadid revealed earlier this year. But the model has made a point not to play that up too much on her social media or during her Instagram Lives. Last week, Gigi made a brief exception, appearing to respond to a question from a fan who marveled over how Gigi was able to hide being over six months pregnant on her most recent Instagram Live six days ago.

Hello! ran the comment, and fan account Gigi Hadid Brasil shared a screenshot of it on its Twitter. Hadid had responded to the fan in her Instagram Live comments.

"How do you not have a tummy?? I’m 4 months into my pregnancy and my tummy is huge you look great tho!" the user wrote.

"This angle and the really baggy jumpsuit make for an optical illusion," Gigi wrote with a laughing emoji. "From the side it’s a different story! haha — wishing u the best! x"

You can see Gigi in that jumpsuit below, during her Instagram Live with Sophia Roe, a New York City-based chef and welfare advocate. The women spoke about understanding privilege, what would actually be needed to help achieve racial equality, and the work involved in becoming anti-racist. Gigi hasn’t spoken much about her pregnancy generally, keeping her primary focus on the Black Lives Matter movement on her Instagram.

Hadid last commented on her pregnancy at the end of May during an Instagram Live for Maybelline. She spoke to her makeup artist Erin Parsons about being pregnant during fashion month and whether her face has changed.

"It’s so funny, the things you see online," Gigi started. "People think that I shape my brows, like I shape my brows really arched. If you look at baby pictures of me, I’ve had these crazy arched brows since I was born. Also that people think I do fillers on my face, and that’s why my face is round—I’ve had this since I was born. Especially fashion month, when I was already, like, a few months preggo, you know…"

"Oh yeah, I know," Parsons said. "I was wondering if you were going to come on and suddenly have like, more weight in your face or whatever, but I feel like you look exactly like I remember you."

"Well, I think I like, have the cheeks already, so it’s like there’s not a lot to like, fill in," Gigi said.

"Most women who get pregnant, they’ll get the cheeks," Parsons said. "Sometimes the nose gets bigger. Have you ever seen that? It gets wider."

"Maybe," Gigi acknowledged. "Don’t worry. I’m happy with the natural process of the world." She went on to deny ever getting fillers, saying, "I’ve never injected anything into my face."
