Gigi & Bella Hadid Reveal They Have Secret Half-Sister Aydan Nix

Gigi and Bella Hadid have revealed that they have a secret half-sister.

In a new statement on Thursday, May 29, the supermodel sisters confirmed that their dad Mohamed Hadid fathered a daughter named Aydan Nix with a woman named Terri Hatfield following his divorce from Yolanda Hadid in 2000.

After her devastating loss, Aydan, now 23, decided to “take a genetic test out of curiosity,” leading her to find “a biological connection” to the Hadid family.

Following the discovery, Gigi and Bella made contact with Aydan - a budding fashion designer and stylist – in late 2023, noting that they “embraced Aydan with open arms.”

“We’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,” Gigi and Bella continued. “As siblings, we’ve had many open and loving conversations—with Aydan included—about how to support and protect her.”

They went on to ask the public to “honor her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.”

Aydan, who recently graduated from the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan — has “spent time” with all of the Hadids, including Mohamed, 78.

In addition to Gigi and Bella, Mohamed and Yolanda, 61, share son Anwar Hadid, 25. Mohamed is also dad to daughters Marielle Hadid, 44, and Alana Hadid, 39, whose mother is his first wife, Mary Butler.
