Gigi took to Instagram after the party to share a glimpse of the celebrations at their New York apartment, revealing she’d decorated a room with the colourful balloons alongside the classic games.

The couple could go head-to-head on games including the iconic Ninja Turtles, Pac-Man, Mario Bros and Mortal Kombat.

The room was covered with bowls of classic sweets including pick n’mix and the sour candy Nerds.

Gigi and her small group of guests even had party party hats emblazoned with Zayn’s face, which one of her pals posted on her own Instagram Stories.

It certainly appeared to be a trip back to Zayn’s childhood as even the balloons were covered with images of cartoon aliens and superheroes. 

Gigi’s pal even showed the games had a Zayn-like twist, as she covered some of the characters with the singer’s face. 

The model posted a touching tribute to her long-time beau on Instagram, which included a silly photo of the couple arm-in-arm.

‘Team No Sleep ! Happiest birthday to our Zaddy baba. So special. Love you long time, thank you for makin me a mamma to the best girl ever ☺️ Wish you the best every single day,’ she captioned the slideshow.

It was a welcome break from parenting duties for Zayn and Gigi, after they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in September.

Gigi announced the news on Instagram, writing: ‘Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world. So in love.’

And the former One Direction star took to Twitter to say his newborn daughter is ‘healthy and beautiful’, and he feels ‘proud’ to call her his child. 

He wrote: ‘Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful to try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x (sic)’ 

The Vogue cover girl has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Zayn since late 2015, most recently rekindling their romance in November 2019.

Malik and Hadid spent Christmas at mom Yolanda’s farm in Pennsylvania and seemed to have a low-key New Year’s.

In May – right after it was announced the on and off pair of six years were expecting – the former One Direction member reportedly purchased a neighboring farm, per Hadid’s mom’s recommendation.

Largely absent from the spotlight in recent years, it seems as if the farm life seemed more enticing to Zayn, and also gives them a home base near their baby’s grandma.
