Gigi Hadid says modeling while pregnant is ‘definitely more tiring than working normally’

Gigi Hadid looked beyond angelic in a maternity shoot shared with her nearly 57million Instagram followers this week.

But the 25-year-old supermodel admitted that partaking in the sentimental project was ‘more tiring than working normally,’ after a fan asked what it was like ‘shooting ‘with [her] baby bump for the first time?’ 

‘I loved it, I knew what I wanted from the pics and Gab and L&I really made it happen for me, but was definitely more tiring than working normally,’ tweeted Hadid on Thursday.

For the stunning black and white pregnancy portraits, the Vogue covergirl donned two etherial gowns that highlighted her burgeoning bump, which were carefully curated by stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.

Gigi added that once she ‘got through the second look’ for the shoot, she ‘was like “guys I think I can only do two more” hahaaaa.’

Photographers Luigi and Iango were the pair responsible for capturing Hadid in all her pregnant glory, while makeup artist Erin Parsons enhanced the model’s natural glow.

When uploading the share-worthy shots to her Instagram on Wednesday, Gigi gushed over her photoshoot and expressed nothing but thanks to those that have supported her during her pregnancy. 

‘Cherishing this time. appreciate all the love & well wishes ♡ will never forget creating these special images,’ captioned Hadid.

‘Thank you. I love you!’ she concluded, before ‘thank[ing]’ her entire team by name.

‘Growin an angel :),’ the former Guess model wrote in another caption as she revealed the shoot took place on July 26. 

Gigi confirmed during a remote appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she was expecting her first child with on-and-off boyfriend Zayn Malik, 27.  

‘Obviously, we wished we could have announced it on our own terms but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support,’ said Hadid to the talk show host.

‘Especially during this time, it’s a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it day by day.’  

Gigi, who is expected to give birth in the fall, is currently quarantining at her New York City home with Zayn, after having spent a large portion of the pandemic on her tranquil farm in Pennsylvania. 

An insider told Us Weekly magazine last month: ‘[They are] closer than ever. Gigi has been living at her mom’s farm with Zayn. She came back to NYC recently but she plans to spend most of her pregnancy there at the farm.’ 

The pair – who first began dating in 2016 – rekindled their complicated romance late last year. 

Despite being incredibly excited for the birth of her child, Gigi has kept pregnancy updates to a minimum because she ‘thinks it’s ‘not the most important thing going on in the world.’ 

‘That’s a reason that I felt that it’s not really something that I need to share apart from with my family and friends. 

‘Obviously a lot of people have lost lives due to [the] coronavirus that was in the beginning of quarantine and still happening,’ she said.

‘And then we moved obviously into the reemergence of the BLM [Black Lives Matter] movement, and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that,’ concluded the runway maven.
