“Thank you so much. Obviously, we wish 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, 25.

Fallon tried to share some parenting advice with Hadid and told her to “be present for every part of it” because kids grow up fast.

“I’m trying, especially during this time. It’s a nice silver lining to be able to be home and together and really experience it day by day,” Hadid said.

The news of Hadid’s pregnancy broke earlier this week when Entertainment Tonight reported that the model is 20 weeks pregnant.

“Gigi and Zayn are expecting their first child together and the couple is very excited!” a source told the outlet.

“Gigi has kept the secret close to her family and friends for a while as she’s only a few months along. Once Gigi and Zayn got back together at the end of last year, it was like they never skipped a beat and knew what they had was special. The couple and their families are overjoyed.”
