Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Gigi and Bella Hadid Discover Half-Sister Aydan Nix: What to Know
Supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid are opening up about discovering that they have a half-sister.
The models said that their sibling, Aydan Nix, 23, was born of a brief relationship between their father, Mohamed Hadid, and a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull following Mohamed’s divorce from their mother, Yolanda Hadid, in 2001.
“Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,” Gigi, 30, and Bella, 28, told the Daily Mail in a statement on Thursday, May 29.
According to the sisters, Aydan was “born and raised in Florida, growing up with the man she lovingly knew as her father until his sudden passing when she was 19.” Following her father’s death, Aydan “decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity” and discovered her “biological connection” to Gigi and Bella.

In addition to Gigi and Bella, Mohamed, 76, shares a son, Anwar, 25, with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Yolanda. He also shares two daughters, Marielle, 44, and Alana, 39, with his first wife, Mary Butler.

“Sometimes I call her 4 times a day. She always answers the phone,” Aydan wrote, noting that her mom is her “role model and my best friend.”
Why Gigi and Bella Hadid Waited to Introduce Aydan Nix to the World
A source exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2025 that Gigi, Bella and Anwar had “been in touch” with Aydan for “about a year and a half” before they introduced their half-sister to the public.
“They have welcomed her with open arms and are fully embracing her as their sibling,” the insider added. “They kept this news a secret for the sake of Aydan’s privacy. The Hadid sisters and Anwar have tried to not pass judgment about the situation.”
Though Gigi, Bella and Anwar had “a lot of questions” about the situation, the source said they remained “positive” and “open-minded.”
“The family wanted to keep things private until Aydan was ready. Gigi and Bella have given her space but are always warm and there for her if she wants to get in touch or see them,” the insider continued. “They don’t see each other often and haven’t spent much time together. Aydan has a lot in common with Bella and Gigi and they have bonded over NYC and the fashion industry. She looks up to the girls a lot.”
Aydan Nix Details Her Relationship With Gigi and Bella Hadid
Aydan detailed her bond with Gigi and Bella in a December 2025 essay for The Cut.
“My sisters (along with the rest of the family) have been nothing but warm and generous. They have made space for me in ways they didn’t have to,” she wrote. “Anwar called me his baby sister the first time we ever spoke on the phone [and] Bella calls me her twin. … My mom couldn’t even tell our voices apart when we first spoke to her on the phone.”
Aydan continued, “Alana sent me resources and inspired me to become active in the fight for Palestine’s freedom. I watched Anwar’s film Walled Off. Gigi took me for my first Palestinian meal and taught me the names of different dishes.”
Aydan added that Gigi helped her break into the fashion industry.
“Gigi introduced me to her friend, Gabriella Karefa Johnson, whom I had admired not only for her styling but for her strong convictions and values,” she wrote. “I started assisting her when times were especially busy. My first day on set was a Victoria’s Secret campaign. I worked 17 hours that day. I was exhausted, but I had never in my life felt more fulfilled. I felt like I had finally found the thing that I was supposed to do.”
Though she has bonded with her siblings, Aydan admitted that she felt “insecurity” about not growing up with them.
“No sleepovers, no shared holidays, no borrowing clothes, no inside jokes, no stories woven together,” she added. “They had a lifetime of memories, and I felt like the odd one out.”
Aydan also reflected on the attention she received after her family introduced her to the public.
“Overnight, anyone, from anywhere in the world, could weigh in on my face, my body, my family, my worth,” she wrote. “They had access to tell me exactly which alterations they thought I should (or shouldn’t) make to my appearance.”
Though Aydan said people “expected my life to change and become glamorous, jet-setting around, with an endless bank account,” she explained that her life hasn’t changed much since meeting her siblings. She revealed that she still works as a freelance wardrobe stylist and part-time cashier at a vintage store in New York’s East Village.
