A source told Us at the time that Gigi has been turning to her mother for support amid her pregnancy. “Gigi and Yolanda are incredibly close,” the insider said.

Days later, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed that she has been cherishing time with her loved ones while the family quarantines with Malik, 27, on their Pennsylvania farm amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Self-isolation time has been interesting,” Yolanda told BravoTV.com. “It’s a time to really look within and you get to spend so much time with yourself and your children.”
