Blake Lively and her 'sister' Gigi Hadid offer a glimpse into their heartwarming friendship

Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid’s friendship blossomed in 2015 when they were introduced by their mutual friend Taylor Swift.

On Saturday, August 26, Blake Lively received a heartfelt birthday message from her close friend Gigi Hadid, who is also a fellow mother. Gigi Hadid, the 28-year-old supermodel, chose to express her wishes through her Instagram Story. She posted a nostalgic picture of herself and Blake Lively, during a time when Lively was noticeably pregnant.

Accompanying the photo was a lengthy caption penned by Gigi, in which she offered a glimpse into the depth of their friendship. Gigi humorously mentioned that the image likely predates the arrival of Lively’s first child (and their collective first child), yet she cherished the snapshot for the youthful vibe it still conveys.

As for their familial status, Blake Lively, renowned for her role in Gossip Girl, is a mother of four, sharing her children, namely James (8), Inez (6), Betty (3), and an unnamed fourth child, with her husband Ryan Reynolds. On the other hand, Gigi Hadid has a two-year-old daughter named Khai, whom she shares with her former partner, Zayn Malik.

“After numerous bundles of angelic joy, you remain an enchanting companion and nurturing mother — fiercely protective, radiating warmth, brimming with wit, consideration, and undeniable allure,” she continued with a playful tone. “You’re concocted from the finest ingredients, like rainbow sprinkles, rich butter, and the smoothness of bourbon whipped cream. And let’s not forget about that indulgent lobster salad, heaps of it,” Hadid playfully added.

“In your radiant presence and as a shining example, dear @blakelively, I find inspiration. Here’s to a year ahead that surpasses all others. [birthday cake emoji] You’re aware of the depth of my affection!”

Responding to this heartwarming message, Lively contributed her own sentiments. “This snapshot captures a time before my third child’s arrival and your first. [heart emoji] Collaborating with you on parenting, regardless of whether you formally accept the role, brings me immense happiness. You’re cherished, as a mother, sister, and cherished friend.”

Over the span of their enduring friendship, the pair has frequented a variety of events together. Notably, they’ve made appearances at Taylor Swift’s gatherings, having a close bond with the singer.
