Gigi
Hadid,
like
many
celebrity
parents,
has
urged
the
paps
to
respect
her
baby
daughter's
privacy.
The
supermodel
took
to
Twitter
and
shared
a
statement
requesting
paparazzi
to
blur
out
the
images
of
baby
Khai.
Gigi
in
the
post
admitted
that
as
her
baby
grows
up
it
becomes
difficult
to
protect
her
the
way
they
want
to.
Talking
about
her
most
recent
visit
to
New
York
with
Khai,
she
said
her
daughter
has
"started
to
want
her
sun
shade
lifted
up
(something
she
is
used
to
at
home)
and
helps
herself
to
it!
She
doesn't
understand
why
she's
covered
in
the
city,
or
what
I've
wanted
to
protect
her
from."
Calling
it
a
true
blessing
that
she
can
and
loves
to
see
the
world
Gigi
added,
"I
also
want
her
to
see
the
most
amazing
city
in
the
world
+
the
beautiful
and
diverse
people
that
walk
down
the
streets
of
NYC
...
that
is,
without
the
stress
of
the
media
circus
that
comes
with
parents
who
are
public
figures."
Gigi
further
said
that
she
is
aware
of
the
law
when
it
comes
to
the
paparazzi
taking
pictures
of
children
and
added
in
her
request
to
the
press
and
fan
accounts,
that
she
doesn't
intend
to
share
images
of
Khai,
asking
press
to
blur
out
her
face.
She
captioned
the
statement
as,
"A
letter
from
a
Mamma."
Her
statement
also
added,
"Our
wish
is
that
she
can
choose
to
share
herself
with
the
world
when
she
comes
of
age,
and
that
she
can
live
as
normal
of
a
childhood
as
possible,
without
worrying
about
a
public
image
that
she
has
not
chosen.
It
would
mean
the
world
to
us,
as
we
take
our
daughter
to
see
and
explore
NYC
and
the
world,
if
you
would
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
blur
her
face
out
of
the
images,
if
and
when
she
is
caught
on
camera."
"I
know
it's
an
extra
effort
-
but
as
a
new
mom,
I
just
want
the
best
for
my
baby,
as
all
parents
do...
and
I
hope
this
can
continue
the
conversation
to
protect
minors
in
the
media,
even
if
they
come
from
a
public
family,"
wrote
Gigi.
She
concluded
the
post
by
thanking
all
those
who
have
abided
by
her
request,
and
aided
in
maintaining
privacy
by
keeping
a
distance.
Gigi
and
singer
Zayn
had
begun
dating
back
in
2015.
However,
the
two
had
parted
ways
in
2019
and
reunited
later
that
year.
Soon
after,
in
April
2020,
it
was
reported
that
they
are
expecting
their
first
child
together.
Khai
was
born
to
the
couple
in
September
2020.
