Gigi Hadid wished partner Zayn Malik a happy birthday as the former One Direction star celebrated his 28th birthday.

The model, 25, posted a touching tribute to partner and father of her first daughter on Instagram. The post included a fun photo of the couple arm-in-arm evidently struggling from a lack of sleep due to caring fo their newborn.

“Team No Sleep” Hadid wrote. “Happiest birthday to our Zaddy baba. So special. Love you long time, thank you for makin me a mamma to the best girl ever ☺️ Wish you the best every single day.”

Malik, who shot to fame in One Direction along with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan, thanked fans for wishing him many happy returns.

“Thanks to everyone sending birthday messages and wishes today ! Having a great day! big love ! X”

The pair celebrated the birthday with the delivery of a number of old-fashioned arcade games to Hadid’s apartment in New York.

Hadid showed glimpses of the celebration on her social media, with some of her Instagram stories captioned: “Z-Day.”

The couple have been dating on and off since 2015. At the end of last year, the couple welcomed their first child together.

They have not yet revealed the name of their child - but have given fans some glimpses of the baby on social media.

Hadid, who is the elder sibling of Bella and Anwar Hadid,  has been spotted out and about a number of times with her daughter in a pram in New York in the past month.

Posting about the birth in September, Malik said: “Our baby girl is here, healthy and beautiful,” Zayn captioned the snap. “To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.

“Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, and thankful for the life we will have together x.”
