Gigi and Bella Hadid ‘embrace' secret sister

Gigi and Bella Hadid “cherish” their newly-discovered half-sister, Aydan Nix.

Both the popular runway beauty sisters confirmed that their father, Mohamed Hadid had welcomed a daughter with Terri Hatfield Dull after his divorce from Gigi and Bella's mother Yolanda Hadid.

In a statement to Daily Mail, Gigi and Bella said, "Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy. 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."

They continued, "We first connected in late 2023, and from that moment on, we’ve embraced Aydan with open arms.

"She’s spent time with all of us, including our dad, and we’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family. As siblings, we’ve had many open and loving conversations - with Aydan included - about how to support and protect her,” the models added.

"Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. We kindly ask others to do the same and honor her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York,” both Gigi and Bella Hadid requested, in the conclusion of their statement.
