Rise and shine!

Gigi Hadid recently shared insight into her morning routine with her 2-year-old daughter Khai. And let's just say that the supermodel's toddler—who she shares with ex Zayn Malik—adorably calls the shots.

"Whatever time she's waking up, I'm waking up," Gigi told WSJ Magazine in an interview published Jan. 30, noting that they usually get out of bed between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. "I have a very mom morning routine."

Once they are out of bed, the NYC-based duo enjoys a breakfast of champions. "I eat whatever Khai's having," the 27-year-old admitted. "I make her pancakes and sausages every day."

And Gigi doesn't make your average pancakes either.

"For Christmas," Gigi shared, "she asked me what I was going to ask Santa for and so I said I wanted a new pancake pan. I ordered myself, via Santa, this cool pancake pan—each little circle pancake is a different animal, so she can have lion pancakes or llama pancakes."

Bella and Gigi Hadid's Best Style Moments

After breakfast, the mother-daughter duo enjoy spending time outdoors.

"We walk a lot," she revealed. "We do yoga together. With lifting her and running around all day and going to the park, I get moving."

Of course, there are aspects of Gigi's routine that allow her to unwind and have some me-time. While she has a soft spot for watching true crime documentaries, she practices self-care in other ways too.

"I try when I have time to go to the chiropractor and get recalibrated," the Guest in Residence founder said. "Doing the job that I do, it can be very physical. Oh, I guess a New Year's resolution is I'll try to treat myself to a massage a little more."
