The March Issue of InStyle is available on February 11 at stores, on Amazon and via digital download.
‘I’ve always been very trusting, and like a lot of people, I learned the hard way in this industry by being too open in interviews,’ she said.
‘You have to start to calculate your steps, because you went for it with an open heart, and sometimes it doesn’t get portrayed that way.’
She continued: ‘So, in part, yes, I have scaled back. But in the moments when you’re face-to-face with people, you still have to be open. You’re only going to have a human experience if you’re fully in the moment.’
Adding: ‘You try not to have those weird voices in your head that come from traumatic experiences.’
The older sister of Bella said she is still working on balance: ‘Well, I’m trying to learn still, being a mom and letting myself rest. Maybe I’m better at it with work.’

And on Khai possibly becoming a baby model like Gigi, who got her start with a Baby Guess campaign: ‘Yeah. No. You know, she’s going to do what she wants to do. She could be an astronaut. I don’t know.’
When the interviewer Laura Brown said ‘I still can’t believe you made a baby,’ Gigi answered: ‘I still can’t believe it. It’s wild. A lot of my mom friends feel like that, and we’re nearing the first couple years [with our kids]. You’re obsessed with them, but sometimes you turn and you’re like, “Oh my God. Where did you come from?”‘
The model said she was ‘really excited to take Khai skiing one day, because I learned to ski when I was like, 2. We’re getting close. Somewhere that I’ve always wanted to go is Greenland; it looks so beautiful. And New Zealand would be kind of epic. I’ve been to Japan, but I want to go back.’

Gigi, who revealed she has a crafting room in her home, also loves going to amusement parks.
‘I’ve always loved amusement parks, and I’m especially obsessed with Disneyland. I go to Disneyland Paris in the middle of Fashion Week to feel like I’m escaping,’ Gigi said.
‘Whenever I go to Tokyo for work, I go to Disneyland Tokyo. I love Disneyland California because its in my home state. I was supposed to go to the Orlando Disney World for my 25th birthday with all my friends, but COVID hit and I never made it.’

Talented: Gigi, who revealed she has a crafting room in her home, also loves going to amusement parks
Her favorite international amusement park is the Efteling in the Netherlands, a place she ‘grew up going to.’
‘It’s a fairy-tale forest, and you walk through the beautiful woods and come across, like, Hansel and Gretel’s [house]. There’s also a roller coaster from a Dutch fairy tale about a dragon. It’s amazing.’
Gigi also said that she has a secret Tik Tok account, but does not post on it nor follows anyone.
She is on the social media site for ‘mom videos and kids’ lunch videos,’ as well as ‘a lot of true crime storytellling, like murder, stalkers, that kind of stuff. Then there are these pool cleaners who go to these moldy pools and spray them down until they’re glitzy glam and restore them.’
The seasoned model also talked about how she keeps up with fashion month.
‘Honestly, I’m always carb-loading. I wake up and I love scrambled eggs and toast. I usually take an orange juice and a coffee in the car with me, because show catering is tragic.’

‘I’m grateful that I have resources where I can bring things with me to work, but there are a lot of girls who don’t have that, and it pisses me off that there’s literally no catering.’
The blonde beauty revealed that she loves going on roller coasters, and has even skydived in Dubai over the Palm hotel.
Her interview comes just four months after her split with Zayn after an on/off relationship since 2015.
Gigi and Zayn called it quits in October after he was handed four charges of harassment for an alleged altercation with Gigi’s mom Yolanda Hadid.
The former One Direction singer allegedly ‘shoved’ her ‘into a dresser causing mental anguish and physical pain’ and allegedly called her a ‘f****n Dutch s**t.’
He also allegedly told her to ‘stay away from [my] f*****g daughter.’
Following the incident, Zayn took to Twitter to speak out about it: ‘As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter [Khai] to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed not to contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks.’
He added that he is ‘hopeful’ that there could be ‘healing for all involved with the hard words shared.’
Zayn was fined for the incident and place on probation for 360 days, ordered to complete anger management, take a domestic violence course and not contact Yolanda or the security guard who was there during his probation.
