Yolanda Hadid shared a photo on Instagram for her 57th birthday, which accidentally showed the face of her daughter, Gigi Hadid‘s four-month-old baby.
The picture of Yolanda Hadid cuddling her granddaughter — whose name has yet to be announced by parents Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik — was posted to the social media site on Monday and showed both grandmother and granddaughter in coordinated Christmas outfits.
Some followers soon noticed that the baby’s reflection was being shown in the mirror behind where Yolanda was standing.
The image was deleted, and another version of the photo was uploaded, with the mirror cropped out, which meant the baby’s face could no longer be seen.
The original version later reappeared on a fan account on Instagram, where many supporters of Gigi Hadid criticized the user for sharing the photo and urged them to delete it.
Yolanda Hadid has shared other pictures of her granddaughter in the past, but her face is always hidden in the images.
She captioned the birthday photo by saying she had been counting her “birthday blessings” and her granddaughter –who she called a “little angel” — was the number one blessing in her life.
When Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik welcomed their first child into the world last September, they were also welcoming Yolanda Hadid’s first and only grandchild.
Her birth came just a month after Yolanda Hadid’s mother, Ans van den Herik, passed away after battling cancer.
On her birthday, Yolanda paid tribute to her own mother and said she missed her “very much” as she remembered “this day in 1964.”
She wrote:
“My birthday blessings…..
When I woke up this morning and counted all my blessings in life, this little Angel was ranked #1
It’s a whole new feeling, I’m feeling… a part of my heart I didn’t know existed……
I very much miss my mamma on this special day that used to be ours, the first call of my day, 2 women reminiscing about life and what this day was like in 1964……
A empty hole in my heart that can’t be filled with anything else but love, respect and gratitude for the woman that gave birth to me, loved and guided me through the ups and downs of life……
I always knew she was crazy for her grand kids but this is the first time I truly understand the depth of how much she loved my children and how blessed they were to have her influence in their lives…..
God bless my mamma in heaven! Today is for you… #CircleOfLife.”
Gigi Hadid also shared a photo on Instagram to wish her mother a happy birthday. She told her 62 million-strong following she had been celebrating “mamma’s birthday” as she gushed over how “blessed” she is to have the “best mom…we could ever ask for.”
The family appears to be in a good place.
