Gigi Hadid marked her 31st birthday with a home celebration that included a rare glimpse of her daughter, Khai. In photos shared Friday, May 1, Hadid showed the 5-year-old helping her blow out the candles on a round cake decorated with colorful edible flowers.
Hadid captioned the post, “Every year Luckier!” and added, “Thank you for all the wishes from near and far💖 I had my dream bday brunch @ home and the sweetest week celebrating 🌼.” The spread looked as polished as it was personal, with an elaborate brunch table, a coffee bar, a mimosa station and an abundant bouquet of orange flowers at the center. One photo also showed a horse outside, underscoring the rural setting that has long shaped Hadid’s family life.
The celebration appeared to take place at Hadid’s Pennsylvania farmhouse, the same place she has previously tied to her vision of raising Khai with ex Zayn Malik. In her March 2021 Vogue cover story, Hadid said ranch life is where she feels “happiest,” and said, “I think she’ll definitely be raised here,” while adding, “The greenery and the farm-y lifestyle are similar to what made me feel really centered as a kid, and I think that’s really important to Zayn and me.”
The birthday post arrived alongside another set of photos from a different day, including shots of Hadid in full glam at the Breakthrough Awards in Los Angeles on April 18. In one image, she wore a white silk halter-neck dress sourced from David Koma London and styled by Elizabeth Sulcer, a sharp contrast to the softer, domestic feel of the farmhouse brunch. The pairing highlights how Hadid moves between high-profile public appearances and the private routine she has said she wants for her daughter. For her, the answer to where Khai is being raised is not a mystery at all: it is the farm.
