"Team No Sleep!" Hadid penned. "Happiest birthday to our Zaddy baba. So special. Love you long time. Thank you for making me a mama to the best girl ever. Wish you the best every single day."

But the starlet has given more glimpses here and there of her quiet life with Malik. As compiled by Insider, here is a curated timeline and moments the couple has shared for us to swoon at.

Relationship timeline

Hadid and Malik have kept things low-key ever since their on and off relationship first began making the news. Both were snapped leaving Justin Bieber's AMAs after-party together back in 2015, leading to assumptions that the model and musician were courting. The couple originally became exclusive in the same year but their relationship kept falling apart in-between. However, the two returned back to each other soon enough and about a year later, appeared in an intimate spread with Vogue together.

A word of love

Throughout, the Victoria’s Secret model has expressed her love to her beau. During an interview with British Vogue in 2017, Hadid got candid about their casual moments as a couple and what the model herself and Malik prefer to do when they're not working. "When I'm in L.A, I mostly stay in because it's my time off and I like being with my boyfriend and doing art and cooking," she said. "We like late night movies and we order from this amazing place that does lattes and gingerbread cookies. I need coffee to stay up."

 

Moments together

The couple in their relationship has shot a music video together and attended the Met Gala in style. Last fall onwards, ‘Zigi’ has recently been making news for their little bundle of joy, who arrived in September 2020. A new mama, Hadid seems to be posting a lot on social media about their daughter being a “true blessing” for the family but mostly, for herself and Malik.

In September Malik had posted, “To try and 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.
