Gigi Hadid gave her Instagram fans a glimpse of her life as a new mom, saying on Saturday that she voted with her daughter next to her.

The supermodel posted a selfie on Instagram that shows her wearing a black T-shirt that spells out the word "vote."

"I voted absentee last week with my daughter next to me," Hadid wrote in the caption.

Hadid did not say in the caption which candidate she is supporting but wrote that she voted "for an America" that she wants her daughter to see.

The last time Hadid shared a public post about her daughter on Instagram was when she announcing her birth on September 23.

"Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend, and she's already changed our world. So in love," she wrote in the caption.

In her most recent post, Hadid said that casting her vote was not only for herself and her daughter, but "for fellow Americans that are less privileged, with hope for a nation that is unified, that is empathetic, and for a leader that is compassionate."

Hadid ended her post by encouraging fans to vote, whether it's sending in a mail-in ballot, or making plan to vote on or before Election Day, November 3.

This year, a number of other celebrities have shared their voting plans with their fans via social media.

For example, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds posed in pictures with their mail-in ballot envelopes. Reynolds, who was born in Canada, wrote that this was his first time voting in America. Lively went viral for appearing to draw in a pair of heels on her bare feet in one of the photos.

Other celebrities have taken to social media to share which candidates they're supporting — from Taylor Swift, who posed with cookies decorated with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' logo, to Jennifer Aniston, who posted a picture that shows her placing her ballot at a drop-off location, sharing her support for Biden and Harris.

Representatives for Hadid did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
