Gigi and Bella Hadid have announced the arrival of a new member in their family.
The supermodel sisters recently revealed that their father, Mohamed Hadid, had a daughter named Aydan Nix with a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull, following his split from Yolanda Hadid in 2000.
“Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,” Gigi, 30, and Bella, 28, shared in a statement to the Daily Mail on May 29. “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.”
After the loss of the man she believed to be her father, 23-year-old Aydan decided to “take a genetic test out of curiosity,” which led her to discover “a biological connection” to the Hadid family, Gigi and Bella explained.
The sisters reached out to Aydan in late 2023 after learning about her, saying they “embraced Aydan with open arms.”
“We’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,” they continued. “As siblings, we’ve had many open and loving conversations—with Aydan included—about how to support and protect her.”
Aydan, who is pursuing a career in fashion as a designer and stylist, has expressed a desire for privacy, and Gigi and Bella emphasized their commitment to respecting that.
They asked that the public “honor her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.”
