In an emotional and surprising revelation, the internationally renowned supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid have publicly acknowledged the existence of their secret half-sister, Aydan Nix. The sisters shared a deeply personal statement through The Daily Mail on May 29, confirming that Aydan now 23 is the daughter of their father Mohamed Hadid from a little-known relationship with a woman named Terri Hatfield following his divorce from Yolanda Hadid.
According to the Hadid sisters, Mohamed was single at the time of this relationship which ultimately led to Terri’s pregnancy. Aydan was born and raised in Florida and grew up believing another man was her father until his unexpected death when she was 19. This life-altering loss prompted Aydan to take a DNA test, purely out of curiosity and the results revealed a surprising biological link to one of the world’s most famous families.
How the bond began and blossomed
Upon learning about her connection to the Hadids, Aydan reached out to them and Gigi and Bella were quick to respond. By late 2023, the siblings had already met and developed a close relationship with their newfound sister who works as a fashion designer and stylist. The statement from Gigi and Bella described Aydan as “a beautiful and unexpected addition” to their family and highlighted how meaningful their conversations and moments together have been since reconnecting.
The sisters also praised Aydan’s strength and creativity noting that she recently graduated from the prestigious Parsons School of Design in Manhattan and is now living in New York City while carving her own path in the fashion industry.
Privacy over publicity
Despite her famous lineage, Aydan has requested privacy as she navigates this new chapter in her life and Gigi and Bella have echoed her sentiments. “We’ve had many open and loving conversations with Aydan included about how to support and protect her,” they said. They kindly asked the public to respect Aydan’s wish to live quietly and out of the limelight.
Mohamed Hadid, now 78 has reportedly spent time with Aydan as well. In addition to Gigi, Bella and now Aydan, he shares son Anwar Hadid with Yolanda and daughters Marielle and Alana Hadid with his first wife, Mary Butler.
A family rediscovered
This heartfelt revelation adds a new layer to the Hadid family story, one that speaks to acceptance, love and the unpredictable ways life can bring people together. As the family adjusts to this newfound connection, fans around the world are applauding Gigi and Bella for their openness and warmth in welcoming Aydan into their lives.
