Gigi Hadid did more than just post an Instagram tribute for her boyfriend Zayn Malik to mark his 28th birthday yesterday. The 25-year-old model arranged for him to have a video

Hadid shared a series of shots from the intimate bash (Hadid, her friend Leah McCarthy, and Malik were the only people who appeared in photos at it), showing off the Pac Man, Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Simpsons arcade machines she had brought in for her boyfriend.
