Gigi Hadid has celebrated her 25th birthday while in lockdown with her boyfriend, Zayn Malik, and sister, Bella Hadid.

On Saturday, the model shared a Boomerang video of herself alongside Malik and Bella while holding “25” balloons in the air.

The trio are thought to be isolating together while the US remains in lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Hadid also shared a series of photographs from her birthday celebrations, including one of her embracing Malik.

Another photo reveals Hadid’s birthday cake, which appears to have been made in the in shape of a giant bagel with cream cheese icing in the middle.

In the caption, Hadid described the celebration as “the sweetest day”.

“Thank you to everyone for the birthday messages, I carried you with me yesterday!!” she wrote.

“I am grateful and lucky that my family and friends — near and far — are healthy and safe, and although I missed loved ones I wish I could have celebrated with, know that these times will make us even more grateful for togetherness to be had in the future!”

Hadid added that she will never forget this birthday and that the “icing” was the surprise “everything bagel cake”, which she revealed was made by famous American baker Buddy Valastro, who stars on the reality TV show, Cake Boss.

“This is a dream come true,” she added before going on to address Valastro.

“I can’t believe you made this cake for me while the bakery is closed.

“It means more to me than you know, and when we hopefully meet someday you will truly know that there almost isn’t an episode I’ve missed.”
