Gigi Hadid marked her daughter Khai Malik’s fifth birthday with a series of Instagram Stories posts on Friday.
First the 30-year-old supermodel — who is dating Bradley Cooper, 50 — posted an image of her and her mini-me in a horse stable.
The runway regular was dressed in a camouflage sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a baseball cap while crouching down to her daughter’s height.
For her part, Khai was adorably clad in brown chaps with blue accents, pink cowgirl boots, and a denim jacket with cuffed sleeves.
Gigi wrote over the image, ‘My girl is 5 today,’ and included a happy face emoji with a single tear.
The proud mom, who shares her child with 32-year-old ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, added, ‘Happy Birthday to my greatest love & gift.’

Gigi also posted a throwback snapshot from October 2023.
She held her baby girl on her hip while dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt with her blonde hair pulled back into a long braid.
And the Guest in Residence founder also uploaded memories from her pregnancy, as well as photos of her and her kiddo shared by a fan account.
Gigi and Zayn have opted not to share their little girl’s face with the public, but the blonde beauty often gives her online audience glimpses of Khai from strategic angles.
She told Vogue in an April cover story, ‘I don’t think it would be fully genuine to post nothing of Khai.’
She added, ‘But I also don’t want to put anything up that would take away from her privacy and her peace.’
Inside the pages of the fashion magazine, she shared her thoughts on appearing on the internet in front of millions of people.
‘I am grateful for social media, and the ways that it has connected me to the world. I wouldn’t have the same career without it,’ Gigi said.
‘My Instagram is like snail mail,’ she mused. ‘If you follow me, you have to be patient, life has to load.… It’s different from how socials felt when I was younger. It doesn’t come as naturally to me as it did when Instagram started.

She also opened up about her co-parenting arrangement with Zayn.
‘Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,’ the star revealed. ‘That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.’
Gigi added that she and her ex have entered this phase of their partnership with ‘love, and a feeling of camaraderie.’
The former flames dated for six years, with the model even appearing in a 2016 music video for his song Pillow Talk.
She has been romantically linked to Bradley since October 2023, shortly after they met at a kid’s birthday party where both of their daughters were guests.
