  • Gigi Hadid revealed the name of her daughter on Instagram last night.

  • Gigi's daughter's name is Khai, which has a super special connection to her grandmother.


Let's be honest: You, me, and probably everyone else on planet Earth right now are absolutely obsessed with Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik's baby girl. She's only existed in this world for a few months now, but we have no choice but to be a fan of hers!!! After seeing the plethora of cute pics that Gigi and Zayn have posted of her to their social media feeds, it's kiiiinda hard not to be a fan, right? But despite all this cuteness, we still don't know lil Miss Malik Hadid's name...that is, until now!

On Instagram last night, Gigi sneakily shared the info we've been hoping for in her bio, and wrote that she is "Khai's mom." Yep—Gigi and Zayn's baby girl's name is Khai! I am pretty darn jealous that my mother couldn't think of something that cool and beautiful for my name, but Khai actually has a pretty special connection to Gigi's grandmother.

According to a TMZ source, Khai is named after her grandmother on her father's side of the family. Gigi's grandmother's name is Khairiah, and the name Khai also means "crowned" in Arabic. Fun fact for ya—Zayn's last name (Malik) means "king," which means that baby Khai's name directly translates to "crowned king." I'm obsessed.

So far, Zayn and Gigi are loving their time being Khai's mom and dad. Of course, the social media pics are all the proof we need, but sources told E! News that Zayn feels "forever changed and would never disappoint her or Gigi. He wants to be the best father possible and is so excited." Gigi, according to a separate E! News source, “is very tired but is already an amazing mom.”

Here's to more adorable content of Khai in the future!
