Hadid told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that "obviously, you know, we wish we could’ve announced it on our own terms, but we’re very excited and happy and grateful for everyone’s well wishes and support so..."

Her mother Yolanda Hadid said that she was “still shocked our little secret got leaked to the press. Of course we are so excited. I’m excited to become Oma in September, especially after I lost my mom so recently. But this is the beauty of life, one soul leaves us, and a new one comes in. We feel very blessed.”

Before Hadid's pregnancy was revealed, the model was candid about her hopes to become a mother someday. During an interview with i-D magazine published in February, the model spoke about her future ambitions in the fashion industry. Hadid said, "I think that as I get older... well one day I’ll start a family and I don’t know if I will always be modeling. I love the creative side of fashion, it’s so fulfilling. The people I work with make me so happy, I’m so lucky to be around them. But who knows? Maybe I’ll take up full time cooking!"
