Washington, April 13 -- Supermodel Gigi Hadid has expressed her heartfelt gratitude to fans for respecting the privacy she and former partner Zayn Malik have maintained around their daughter, Khai.

The couple, who have consistently chosen not to share their four-year-old's face on social media, received renewed support after Gigi's recent Instagram post.

Recently, Hadid shared a series of photos of Khai enjoying simple childhood moments, riding a bike and tracing letters, all without revealing her face.

One comment, in particular, caught the model's attention: "Even without showing her face, we can feel how loved and special Khai is." Gigi responded warmly, writing, "This means a lot :)."
