Gigi Hadid, a three-time SI Swimsuit model, made her iconic debut for the magazine in 2014 along the Jersey Shore with photographer Ben Watts. She returned for features in Kauai, Hawai’i, and Tahiti the following two years, both with photographer Yu Tsai.
Today, Hadid is the co-host of the Netflix reality show Next in Fashion and the founder of the clothing brand Guest in Residence. The 28-year-old is also a mother to Khai, her 2-year-old daughter with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik.
“She has already given me so much,” Hadid said of her newborn daughter. “I always wanted to be a mom, but I was never obsessed with it or believed that I was born to be a mom.”
