Gigi Hadid Addresses Keeping Daughter Khai's Face Off Instagram
Originally appeared on E! Online
Gigi Hadid is grateful for fans' support of her and 's decision to maintain their daughter's privacy on social media.
The supermodel readdressed the issue after a person commented on her April 11 Instagram post that included pics of Khai, 4, riding a bicycle and tracing letters in a workbook.
"Even without showing her face, we can feel how loved and special Khai is," the user wrote, to which Gigi responded, "This means a lot :)."
In 2021, the 29-year-old had shared a plea to fans and the press about Khai's privacy.
"You know we have never intentionally shared our daughters face on social media," Gigi wrote on her Instagram Stories at the time. "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."

Gigi continued, "It would mean the world to us, as we take our daughter to see and explore NYC and the world, if you would PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE blur her face out of the images, if and when she is caught on camera. I know it's an extra effort- but as a new mom, I just want the best for my baby, as all parents do."
In addition to occasionally sharing pics of Khai with her face hidden, Gigi has also shared more insight into her life as a mom in press interviews.
Earlier this month, she spoke about her and her daughter's recent first visit to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in New Jersey.
"Khai got very into it," Gigi said of the April 8 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 'You can make kids a hundred different things in a week, and when we get there, why is her favorite chicken the one at Medieval Times? She ate so much chicken!"
