Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik and US model Gigi Hadid have welcomed a beautiful baby girl.

Malik shared a black-and-white picture of the baby girl's tiny hand clutching his finger on Twitter.

He wrote in Tweet alongside the image, "The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding."

Hadid confirmed she was expecting in April while appearing on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

She told the US chat show host that she and Malik were "happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support".

The couple has been dating on and off since late 2015. Malik is the third member of One Direction to become a father. Louis Tomlinson welcomed son Freddie in January 2016, while Liam Payne has a three-year-old son, Bear, with singer Cheryl.

The announcement came hours after the singer teased his first new music since the 2018 album Icarus Falls.

Earlier this week, Hadid's father Mohamed wrote in a caption on Instagram that he was "waiting patiently" for the baby.

He added that "grandpa" was "here and waiting to meet you... so excited".
