Gigi Hadid has opened up about motherhood and how it has transformed her perspective on her professional life.

The mother of four-year-old Khai recently graced the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. During the event, she shared heartfelt insights about her journey as a mother, telling Extra, “Being a mom has made me appreciate the time I get to work and prioritize the jobs I truly want to do.”

At 29, Gigi emphasized the importance of being present, saying, “I focus more on truly soaking in the moment—what it smells like, looking around, not just rushing through to the end of the runway. I want to remember what I’m doing and really be there.”

Reflecting on the success of the fashion show in New York, which featured performances from Cher, BLACKPINK's Lisa, and Tyla, Gigi expressed her joy at returning to the iconic event after a long break. 

“It’s fantastic. I’ve grown up with so many women in this industry and have known them through different stages of my career,” she noted. Gigi also mentioned that she used to admire many of the models in the show while she was still in high school. “It’s really exciting now because Victoria’s Secret is being run and led by women,” she added.
