Taking to Instagram to share a series of snaps of Gigi, as well as some father and daughter shots, the property developer gushed over the 26-year-old.

He wrote in the caption: “Simply love you my daughter and I am so proud of you ..Babba of @gigihadid and Jido of Khai."

In Mohamed’s native language Arabic, babba means dad while jido means grandfather.
