Zayn Malik and his beau are expecting their first child, with Gigi Hadid confirming the news to Jimmy Fallon last week.
Former One Direction singer Zayn, 27, “couldn’t be more thrilled” with the news he’s set to join the 1D dads club.
Sources claim the Pillowtalk singer always hoped he and Gigi would rekindle their romance.
The pair has been on and off since getting together in 2015 before eventually getting back together in December.
It was revealed last week that Gigi was pregnant after Daily Star Online reported in February that she had dropped a major hint about leaving modelling behind to start a family.

“Zayn has always been so into Gigi and she’s always been such a big part of his life, even when there were times that they weren’t a couple, the love was still very much there,” a source revealed to US Weekly.
It is said Bradford-born Zayn would “talk openly with his friends about how he was still so in love” with the Victoria Secrets Angel.
The source went on to add: “He was very hopeful that they would get back together,” before claiming that they are “solid” ahead of the arrival of their firstborn.

It’s believed that Gigi is currently five months pregnant – recently flaunting her adorable bump at her 25th birthday party.
The pair are self-isolating at the Hadid ranch in Pennsylvania amid the ongoing coronavirus lockdown.
Revealing her happy news to US chat show host Fallon, Gigi said: “Obviously, we wish we could have announced it on our own terms
“We’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support.”

After Fallon advised the model to be “present” and enjoy every moment of her pregnancy, she replied: “Especially during this time. It’s a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it day by day.”
They had initially confirmed rumours of their relationship when Gigi appeared in Zayn’s debut solo video for his single Pillowtalk – which was reportedly written about her.
Daily Star Online has contacted representatives for Zayn Malik.
