Another special touch was Gigi’s custom bouquet of flowers for Zayn Malik, arranged just like his upcoming album Nobody is Listening‘s cover art!

According to HollywoodLife, the 25-year-old new mom put a lot of thought and effort into the celebration. “Gigi and Yolanda had been planning Zayn’s birthday for months because they really want to make his day special,” a source revealed.

“Yolanda and Zayn’s personal assistant, Taryn, were the ones doing all the heavy lifting so to speak, and running around town when Gigi was pregnant. Then Yolanda wanted to let Gigi just relax with Zayn and their baby while she and Taryn got everything prepared,” they added.

The source also shared, “Zayn has always loved video games and arcades, and it’s one of his and Gigi’s favorite places to spend a date night. They decided to go with this theme because it’s nostalgic and it will keep them entertained since they can’t have a lot of people over, due to the pandemic.”

Naturally, longtime fans of Zayn Malikwho know his love for videogames could hardly contain their happiness. “ZAYN DEFINITELY HAD THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY. I’M JEALOUS. ESPECIALLY BC I WANT ONE OF THOSE PARTY HATS,” wrote one user. 

Others lauded Gigi for her efforts for throwing Zayn Malik such a ‘cool’ party. “The time it took to set up Zayn’s birthday party shows how important he is to Gigi,” one fan pointed out.
