Celebrating 27 in style! Gigi Hadid’s birthday party with Bella Hadid, Blake Lively, Emily Ratajkowski, Anthony Porowski and others made a splash all weekend.
On Saturday, April 23, the model, her best friends and family threw a party at Zero Bond in New York. Bella, for her part, arrived at the party with boyfriend Mark Kalman. A few hours earlier, she had paid tribute to her older sister via Instagram.
“Happy Birthday, my big sister @gigihad, thank you for being born so that I could be born, which was very nice of you,” the 25—year-old model joked on the app. “Thank you for being the best sister, mom, daughter, human bob. You teach me something new every day, and sometimes I just smile because I’m so lucky to be your little sister. 🌻 🌻 🌻 ”
Bella ended her message with a joke, writing: “I’m sitting next to you right now, so don’t make it weird when you read this.”
Their mother, Yolanda Hadid, was also at the party with boyfriend Joseph Jingoli, and Gigi’s brother, Anwar Hadid, and her father, Mohamed Hadid, arrived alone.
Time and again Gigi’s boyfriend, Zayn Malik, didn’t seem to be present. The former couple, who have a 19-month-old daughter Khai, broke up in October 2021 amid allegations of a quarrel between the former One Direction member and Yolanda.
“As you all know, I am a private person, and I really want to create a safe and secluded space for my daughter in which she could grow up,” Malik wrote on Instagram at the time. “A place where personal family matters are not brought to the world stage so that everyone can sort them out. In an attempt to protect this space for her, I agreed not to dispute the claims stemming from my dispute with a family member of my partner who entered our house when my partner was absent a few weeks ago.”
Malik, who did not cite four felonies related to harassment, was sentenced to 360-day probation, which included a fine, anger management lessons, a domestic violence program and a ban on contact with Yolanda.
While the family remained silent about the drama in the months that followed, Malik returned to Instagram in April after not posting anything for several weeks. He shared a snap of his longer facial hair early on Sunday morning, April 24.
