Supermodel Gigi Hadid opened up her pregnancy into detail for the first time and even gave a glimpse of her baby bump.
The fashionista during an Instagram Live session on Wednesday addressed questions about why she kept the news concealed of the world while she promoted her new V Magazine Gigi Journal Part II issue.
“I’m so grateful for the positive comments and the questions and wanting just to know that we’re all good and secure and everything’s going great and I love you guys. I do appreciate those positive comments,” she said.
“Obviously I think a lot of people are confused why I’m not giving more extra but like, I’m pregnant through a pandemic like obviously my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world,” she continued.
“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 coronavirus that was at the start of quarantine and still happening. 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.”
“I have been taking a lot of pictures of my bump and carrying it to friends and family and it’s been very cute and exciting and I’m trying to document it well because I’ve heard a lot of people say obviously make sure you don’t miss it,” she said.
“And I will be sharing stuff like that in the future. I just am not rushed to do it, and I feel like right now I just want to experience it, and I write in my journal a lot, and I just don’t want to worry about waking up every day during my pregnancy and like worry about having to like look cute or post something and like so, a lot of questions were about that and I just wanted to do that,” she added.
Speaking about her maternity style, the model said: “Pregnancy, same all I want to wear, is like loose stuff. This is ok, this is not sponsored, the Holiday, Holiday the brand sent me these I don’t even know what it’s made of, any linen kind of vibe like a few sets and it’s all I need to wear…I can wear like the drawstring pants like below my belly like these are open so they’re not so tight and it’s so hot and sweaty.”
