Gigi Hadid’s latest Instagram post has unintentionally stirred controversy after fans noticed a small detail in her daughter’s breakfast menu.
The supermodel, who shares 3-year-old daughter Khai with singer Zayn Malik, included a handwritten list of meals in a wholesome photo carousel — one that listed “bacon” among the items.
Slide 9 of the post, meant to showcase the peaceful rhythm of countryside living, triggered an online debate. Users quickly zoomed in on the word “bacon,” with one asking, “Aren’t you Muslim?” The comment section soon filled with mixed reactions, with others chiming in with, “Did I see bacon??” and “Seriously, Gigi?”
Hadid, whose father Mohamed Hadid is Palestinian and Muslim and mother Yolanda Hadid is Dutch and Christian, has spoken before about her multicultural upbringing.
The family celebrated both Eid and Christmas, and while Gigi remains relatively private about her faith, her sister Bella has been more vocal, previously stating, “I am proud to be a Muslim.”
Zayn Malik, Khai’s father, is of British Pakistani Muslim heritage, which further amplified expectations about traditional dietary practices. However, the “bacon” mentioned could refer to pork, turkey, or a plant-based option — something Gigi has not clarified.
Despite the speculation, the post remains online. Fans also praised Hadid’s parenting, highlighting the balanced and joyful meals she provides compared to her own upbringing under Yolanda’s strict dietary rules.
