AceShowbiz - Bella Hadid is expressing her excitement in becoming an aunt to Gigi Hadid's daughter Khai. In a new interview, the supermodel says that her 13-month-old niece is the "biggest gift" to her big family.
During E! News' "Daily Pop" interview published on Wednesday, October 27, the 25-year-old beauty shared that she has a special bond with Gigi and Zayn Malik's daughter, noting that she often stays the night at her sister's apartment.
"I want to be with the baby and I want to wake up early and be there," Bella explained. The model went on to share that Khai has become the center of her big family since her arrival in September 2020.
Bella confessed, "I never knew that I could have this much joy in my life. She's the biggest gift. Our family has changed in the best way for the better." The former Victoria's Secret model then joked, "Are there full time aunties out there?"
In September, Bella reiterated her love for her niece in an Instagram post when she celebrated Khai's first birthday. "Happy Birthday to the greatest gift our family has ever been blessed with…. I didn't know my heart could grow this big!!!!" the runway star wrote alongside a series of sweet photos with the toddler.
"You make me smile when I'm sad and make me cry of happiness just because ur alive," Bella added. "I can't wait to watch you grow into the most perfect specimen of all @gigihadid@zayn thank you for my forever best friend."
Earlier this month, Gigi herself expressed her gratitude to have Bella as Khai's aunt. Showing some affection, Gigi described her younger sister as "a forever protector" of her baby daughter in an Instagram post.
When celebrating Bella's 25th birthday, Gigi shared a photo of Bella holding Khai. "We celebrate you today and every day @bellahadid: She's my baby sister but also a firecracker of a spiritual body guard and a forever protector as an auntie," so wrote the 26-year-old model.
"I have so much pride watching you take ownership of your growth and fulfillment," Gigi continued. She then gushed, "I know everything that you have created for yourself will bring you the year of joy and light you deserve!!!!!! Can't wait. 25! I love you more every sun-lap."
