By the time Gigi Hadid announced the name of her four-month-old baby girl, Khai, fans had long been clamoring for clues. As it turns out, the answer may have been hiding in plain sight the entire time.

Last week, Hadid updated her Instagram bio to read, "khai's mom," finally confirming the name of the daughter she shares with boyfriend Zayn Malik. But back in November, as some eagle-eyed fans have noticed, the model shared a photo that had Khai's name sneakily tucked away in the background.

The photo was the last in a series of holiday flicks, showing off Hadid's holiday decor. And if you look closely, you can see that at the base of her Christmas tree sits a discrete bucket marked with the word Khai and a heart.

The Hadid–Malik family has been going strong since the birth of Khai back in September. Though the couple have had a very public on-and-off relationship for years, sources said that the new parents are currently "so in love" and closer than ever before.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that Hadid "is settling in to being a new mom perfectly," adding that "motherhood has come to her with such ease. ... She is such a natural."

Meanwhile, Hadid and Malik are "so in love and having a baby together has brought them even closer," according to the insider.

"They share the same values when it comes to culture, family and parenting," the source shared. "Gigi and Zayn both have very close relationships with their families and raising their daughter with that same loving environment is very important to them."

The source also noted that the model is grateful for having a supportive family. "Gigi knows she is so lucky to have her family as a support system while experiencing this new chapter of her life."
