In a surprising turn of events, supermodel sisters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid introduced the world to their 23-year-old half-sister, Aydan Nix — a revelation that has captivated fans and the fashion world alike. But why was her existence kept private for over a year?
A Family Secret Finally Shared
Aydan Nix is the daughter of renowned real estate developer Mohamed Hadid and Terri Hatfield Dull, born from a brief relationship following Mohamed’s high-profile divorce from Yolanda Hadid in 2001.
The Hadid sisters, along with their brother Anwar, only discovered Aydan’s existence in late 2023. Since then, they’ve quietly formed a bond with their newfound sister, embracing her as part of the Hadid family.
A source close to the family told a foreign outlet, “The biological connection was a complete shock to everyone, but they welcomed Aydan with open arms.”
Why the Secret?
According to an insider, the Hadid siblings kept the news under wraps for over a year to protect Aydan’s privacy during such a delicate period of transition. “The family didn’t want to rush anything or thrust her into the public eye,” the source shared. “They waited until Aydan was ready.”
The source emphasized that Gigi, Bella, and Anwar gave Aydan the space she needed. “They’re always warm and available, but they let her take the lead on how close she wants to be.”
A Connection Beyond Blood
Although the siblings haven’t spent extensive time together yet, the bond is growing. Aydan reportedly shares many interests with her famous sisters, particularly in fashion and New York City life.
“She looks up to Gigi and Bella,” the source added, “and they’ve bonded over the fashion industry and shared experiences.”
A Growing Hadid Legacy
This revelation brings the total number of Mohamed Hadid’s daughters to five — including Marielle, 44, and Alana, 41, from his first marriage. The Hadid family, known for their striking looks and fashion influence, now includes another potential rising star.
