Supermodel sisters Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid have recently introduced a new family member to their fans. The Hadid sisters revealed that they have a 23-year-old half sister named Aydan Nix.
During a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Gigi and Bella recalled how they initially connected with Aydan and expressed excitement about meeting their sister.
They met their half sister for the first time in 2023 after Aydan took a DNA test out of curiosity after the sudden passing of the man she believed to be her father.
The Hadid sisters revealed that Aydan is the daughter of their mother’s ex, Mohamed Hadid and Terri Hatfield Dull. Aydan was born after Mohamed's short-lived relationship with Terri, following his 2001 divorce from Yolanda Hadid, the mother of Gigi and Bella.
Aydan grew up in Florida and was unaware of her connection to Hadid.
However, they shared, “We’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family.” Gigi and Bella also shared that Aydan has since spent quality time with them and their extended family, including their father, Mohamed.
Although their father knew about Aydan, he hadn't been involved in her upbringing and had limited interaction with her until now.

Aydan opts to live out of the limelight, and the Hadid sisters respected their decision, asking for her right to privacy.
They said, “Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. We kindly ask others to do the same and honour her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.”
Aydan was raised in Florida and completed her graduation from Parsons School of Design in Manhattan. She is currently living in New York City.
