During their birthday tributes, the model’s friends and family all made sure to hide Khai’s face. Gigi, who gave birth to her first child with Zayn in late September, has been vocal about her wish to keep her daughter’s privacy. In July, she wrote an open letter to the press and fan accounts requesting that any photographs of Khai’s face be blurred.

“You know we have never intentionally shared our daughter’s face on social media,” she wrote. “Our wish is that she can choose how to share herself with the world when she comes of age and that she can live as normal of a childhood as possible, without worrying about a public image that she has not chosen. . . I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do, and I hope this can continue the conversation to protect minors in the media, even if they come from a public family.”
