Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have been dating again since the holidays, but it took until nearly May for Gigi to share a newly-taken photo of them together on her Instagram. Gigi posted the shot this weekend of her, Zayn, and her sister Bella posing with her 25 birthday balloons. Zayn cuddled up with both of them in the cute Boomerang. "????," Gigi captioned it.

Gigi has very gradually worked up to this moment over the last two months. She first shared a shot of Zayn solo on Valentine's Day that she reposted from her Giposables Instagram account on her IG Story. "HEY VALENTINE," she captioned it on her other account. "Z on the farm. Dec 2019." That confirmed their relationship, but it wasn't any PDA grid photo. Any traces of Zayn on her Instagram were gone after 24 hours.

Gigi shared her first shot of her and Zayn together on March 24 during quarantine. It was buried in a gallery of other photos. "(oldie) camera roll finds ! ?? #stayhome," she captioned it, not calling attention to the kissing photo of her and Zayn at all.

Then on Friday, Gigi revealed that Zayn had been in quarantine with her and part of her 25th birthday celebration. But it was, again, buried in a gallery of photos from the day. It was the sixth photo in her gallery, and Zayn's back is turned to the camera.

Gigi had a gushing caption, but it was primarily about her impressive cake made to look like a bagel. She wrote, "Had the sweetest day celebrating my 25th birthday with my quarantine family, who made it so special for me, along with all the love I felt from all over the world! Thank you to everyone for the birthday messages, I carried you with me yesterday!! ???? I am grateful and lucky that my family and friends -near and far- are healthy and safe, and although I missed loved ones I wish I could have celebrated with, know that these times will make us even more grateful for togetherness to be had in the future ! I will never forget my 25th bday! +++The icing on the perfect quarantine bday was finding out my surprise everything-bagel-cake was made by the one and only Cake Boss @buddyvalastro who I have watched for over a decade. I CRIED REAL TEARS! BUDDY! This is a dream come true. I can’t believe you made this cake for me while the bakery is closed. It means more to me than you know, and when we hopefully meet some day you will truly know that there almost isn’t an episode I’ve missed. 10/10 would be a Carlo’s intern whenever needed. ?? Grateful, honored, your biggest fan. ??????????"

It took just a day for Gigi to decide she was ready to give the people a clear shot on Zayn and her these days, together—and not buried in a photo gallery post. She shared the Instagram boomerang on Saturday that has gotten over 17 million views. Zigi is back on and fully public:
