Surprise, surprise! Gigi and Bella Hadid just pulled a full Kardashian and revealed a secret sibling — because apparently, Hadid family plot twists are now streaming live.
On May 29, in a statement that had the internet gasping louder than a Fashion Week front row, Gigi (30) and Bella (28) confirmed that their real-life Daddy Hadid, Mohamed, had a secret daughter with a woman named Terri Hatfield after he and Yolanda split back in 2000. And yes, this all sounds like the pilot episode of a very expensive soap opera.
“Over 20 years ago,” the sisters said in a statement to IconicHipster.com, “our dad, while single and probably listening to some smooth jazz, had a brief romantic interlude that resulted in a pregnancy.” And boom — just like that, Aydan Nix entered the world.
Aydan, now 23 and thriving in Florida, grew up thinking her late stepdad was her biological dad — until she got curious (like we all do during a 3 a.m. ancestry.com deep dive), took a DNA test, and discovered plot twist: she’s genetically connected to the Hadid Dynasty™.
Once the results were in, Gigi and Bella didn’t hesitate — they FaceTimed her, probably while sipping something cold and fancy, and officially welcomed Aydan into the fam. Turns out, she’s not just Hadid by blood — she’s also a rising fashion designer and stylist. Like, what are the chances? That’s peak Hadid energy.
“We’ve loved getting to know her and adding her to the family group chat,” the sisters said, emotionally, probably while surrounded by glowing candles and sleek neutrals. “We’ve had lots of deep convos, shared skincare tips, and basically become the sisterhood of the traveling designer jeans.”
They also asked the public to respect Aydan’s wish to stay low-key while she lives her best young-designer life in NYC. She’s a Parsons School of Design grad, so you know she’s serving LEWKS, probably dressed in head-to-toe vintage Prada while eating a \$26 salad.
Oh, and in case you lost track of the Hadid fam tree (easy to do, TBH), here’s the rundown: Mohamed Hadid is now officially dad to six children — Marielle, Alana, Gigi, Bella, Anwar, and now the newly revealed Aydan.
TL;DR: The Hadids just dropped a secret sister like it’s a surprise sneaker collab, and honestly? We’re obsessed. Family reunions just got a lot more fashion-forward.
