Gigi Hadid gave a rare glimpse of her life as a mother while documenting some of her favorite summer memories with daughter Khai, who turns three in September.
Despite typically refraining from posting content with her little girl, who she shares with ex Zain Malik, the 28-year-old supermodel shared a handful of shots of her tot over the past few months.
‘Best of summer!’ the Vogue cover girl captioned her latest slideshow, which showed her picking blueberries with Khai, eating popsicles together and playing with the horses on their family farm.
Other cute snaps showed Hadid serving her child lunch on a kickboard in the pool, watching ducks from a boat and a decadent pancake breakfast.
As they cruised along the water, Khai wore a neon, purple and blue dress with a tulle skirt.

Like her stylish mom, the catwalk queen’s wardrobe already appears to be brimming with cute pieces, including floral dresses, checkered rainboots with bows on them, a tie-dye shirt and ripped jeans with a smiley face patch.
The Next in Fashion host also posed for one picture in a purple patterned bikini as she collected vegetables from her own garden.
Hadid’s comment section was flooded with messages from fans, who marveled at how much Khai has grown.
‘The life,’ her pal, Kylie Jenner, wrote under the post.
Meanwhile, one fan commented: ‘Your little girl is getting so big!’
Another remarked: ‘Can’t believe how big she is! Feels like she was born yesterday.’
In March, Hadid opened up about feeling grateful to be a young mother during an interview with The Sunday Times.
‘I’ve always been quite organized, so having Khai at the time that I did was a blessing. I’m so glad to be a young mom,’ she gushed.

Gigi (born Jelena) and her babydaddy both ‘keep the importance of the child’s happiness at the forefront’ while co-parenting: ‘You have a long life alongside this person.’
Hadid – who was last romantically linked to Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio – tries to schedule work commitments ‘when Khai is with her dad. That she can be with both parents makes me very happy.’
The half-Jordanian, half-Dutch American ‘loves’ that Khai has begun saying ‘some words with a little [English] accent’ just like the 30-year-old half-Pakistani Englishman.
‘She’s clearly a child who was grown in my stomach eating a lot of British food — breakfast, beans, curries. And she still eats like that,’ Gigi said.
Hadid famously ended their on/off six-year romance after Zayn’s 2021 altercation with her mother Yolanda Hadid, for which he received 360-day probation and was ordered to complete anger management and domestic violence programs.

Little Khai’s name technically translates to ‘crown’ in Arabic, so the moniker is a tribute to the Malibu-born beauty’s late grandmother Khairiah.
The term ‘nepo baby’ has been a topic of great interest in 2023 and Gigi openly credits her fame and success in the modeling world to her Ford Model-turned-Real Housewife of Beverly Hills mother and real estate millionaire father, Mohamed.
‘Technically, I’m a nepotism baby,’ Hadid admitted.
‘My parents came from very little, [but] I’ve always acknowledged that I come from privilege…My parents told me, “Just because you have parents who were successful, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t walk into the job being as nice and as hard-working as you can be.”‘

The New School drop-out – whose first modeling gig was, age two, for Baby Guess – thinks ‘it’s unrealistic to see modeling as my lifestyle for ever.’
‘I don’t think I’m the prettiest person in the world. Some Botox could probably help but I’m not so obsessed with caring that I want to do anything about it,’ Gigi told The Times.
‘When I started out I was a heavily trained volleyball player and I had a certain body type from that. At that time fashion hadn’t started to get into a more inclusive body-image conversation. I was probably harder on my body than I should have been.
‘I wasn’t starving myself but I was very routined. Since then I’ve got into this idea of body neutrality. I love my body for what it has done but I’m not obsessed with it.’
