Hadid was dressed in a striped button-down shirt in all three of the photographs, which she left open-faced to show off her then-present baby bump.

The model also wore a black bra and a pair of white reflective shorts while posing for the photos.

Her typically free-flowing brunette hair partially covered her face in two of the shots and cascaded onto her shoulders and backside.

The internet personality and her 28-year-old partner were initially romantically linked in the later months of 2015.

Prior to becoming involved with the former One Direction member, she dated singers Cody Simpson and Joe Jonas.

Rumors about the two swirled for months before Malik confirmed that they were in a relationship in February of 2016.

The pair went strong for over a year before they initially called it quits in March of 2018, although they later reconciled and separated a second time the following year before getting back together.

The couple worked on their relationship for an extended period before rumors began to circulate regarding Hadid’s pregnancy in April of last year.

That same month, she appeared on The Late Show With Jimmy Fallon and confirmed that she and her partner would be welcoming a child in the near future.

The model gave her fans several updates about her pregnancy over its course, and in late September, she announced that her baby daughter had finally arrived.

Hadid and Malik did not make their child’s name public until January, when the social media personality updated her Instagram bio to read: ‘Khai’s mom.’

During an interview with Vogue, the fashion industry figure spoke about attempting to emulate her friend Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds as parents.

She expressed, ‘I have friends who are public figures and that’s how they’ve gone about it, and I see their kids really blossom in a different way.’

The model went on to speak about how she ultimately expected to raise her child her own way and that, although she had been offered advice from her friends, she would eventually find her own way of being a parent. 

She explained: ‘everyone figures it out for themselves…you can take bits and pieces from people, but you’re always going to end up doing it a little bit differently.’
