"To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task.

"The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.

"Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, and thankful for the life we will have together x."

Gigi shared a similar black and white snap on her social media, adding: "Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she's already changed our world.

"So in love!"

Gigi confirmed back in April she was pregnant with her first child, after the news was leaked to the media.

"Obviously, we wish we could have announced it on our own terms," she admitted.

"We're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support."

The couple started dating back in November 2015, with Gigi appearing in his 'Pillow Talk' video the following January.

Although they briefly split in 2018, by 2019 they were back together.

Zayn spoke about his relationship with the Victoria's Secret model back in 2016, when he said they were a couple who weren't bothered about partying.

"I don't really enjoy going out too much and partying," he said.

"I like to have my own time and be at home, and I kind of need a partner with me to do that. I just like the security of that. It feels good to me. It feels right.

"Netflix and chill. Yeah, we do that a lot."
