Chrissy Teigen lost the run of herself announcing Zayn and Gigi’s baby news

There’s nothing quite like celebrity pregnancy news to perk Twitter up of a Tuesday night in lockdown.

And if that announcement happens to pertain to a former One Direction member and a Victoria’s Secret model, you can expect a landslide reaction.

So, in case you missed it, last night word broke that Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid were expecting their first child together, and according to reports, the 25-year-old model is already 20 weeks pregnant.

Now, here’s the thing – neither Gigi nor Zayn have confirmed the reports, but that hasn’t stopped fellow celebrities from rushing in with words of congratulations.

Adding to the Twitter maelstrom in recent hours, a massively excited Chrissy Teigen posted a message celebrating the reports.

However, the mother-of-two suddenly made an abrupt U-turn when she realised neither Zayn nor Gigi had confirmed the reports which were, at this point, gathering serious momentum in the die-hard Directioner camp.

Grasping onto one salient fact from her original tweet, Chrissy reiterated her report from the Shahs of Sunset camp before revealing she knew as much about the Malik/Hadid baby as anyone else on Twitter.

“F*ck I dunno if it’s true I read tmz just like all you,” she wrote. “Sh*t I have no idea I just saw it trending but shahs Gigi def had a baby lol,”

Fair enough .

So while Chrissy might not have the inside scoop, TMZ certainly seems to, citing close sources who asserted that the family are very excited by the news.

Had the sweetest day celebrating my 25th birthday with my quarantine family, who made it so special for me, along with all the love I felt from all over the world! Thank you to everyone for the birthday messages, I carried you with me yesterday!! ?? 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 ! I will never forget my 25th bday! +++The icing on the perfect quarantine bday was finding out my surprise everything-bagel-cake was made by the one and only Cake Boss @buddyvalastro who I have watched for over a decade. I CRIED REAL TEARS! BUDDY! This is a dream come true. 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 some day you will truly know that there almost isn’t an episode I’ve missed. 10/10 would be a Carlo’s intern whenever needed. ? Grateful, honored, your biggest fan. ?????

The couple, who first started dating in 2015 before breaking up and reuniting in recent months, have been quarantining in Gigi’s family farm in Pennsylvania where they celebrated the model’s 25th birthday this week.
