EXCLUSIVE Aydan Nix's subtle fashion tribute to sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid at her college graduation
Ayden Nix has been integrating into the life of her long-lost sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid — and the 23-year-old fashion school graduate even gave a subtle and touching nod to her family when she graduated from college earlier this month. While graduating from the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan on May 16, Nix wore a black and white keffiyeh scarf, an homage to her father's Palestinian heritage. The Daily Mail captured Nix at the ceremony, proudly posing for photos and celebrating with her friends at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. She made the fashion statement two weeks before the Daily Mail exclusively revealed that Nix's biological dad is Mohamed Hadid. The multi-millionaire real estate developer had a brief relationship with her mother, Terri Hatfield Dull in 2000. It's not the first time that Mohamed's daughters have been spotted wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern headscarf that has become a symbol of Palestinian pride and resilience. In 2024, Bella wore a keffiyeh inspired dress to honor her homeland — and to protest the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict. The sisters have publicly voiced concerns on social media about the conditions on the Gaza strip, and donated a million dollars to support Palestinian families affected by the conflict. Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the Keffiyeh has gained popularity among pro-Palestinian activists; it is widely considered to be an symbol of solidarity with Palestine in their fight against Israel. Nix realized that she was part of the Hadid clan when she took a DNA test after the death of the man who had raised her as her dad. She then learned that her biological father was Mohamed. For the past two years, Nix has gotten closer with her famous family — while remaining close to her mom. While Nix has often been photographed with her famous sisters, it wasn't publicly revealed that they were blood relatives until last week. 'We first connected in late 2023, and from that moment on, we've embraced Aydan with open arms,' Bella and Gigi Hadid told the Daily Mail on Thursday. '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. '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.' Nix's newfound family has placed her into a complex Hollywood genealogy web. Bella and Gigi's mom, Real Housewives alum Yolanda Hadid, was married to composer David Foster from 2011 to 2017. Foster, 75, was previously married to Linda Thompson, who has two famous sons — Brody Jenner and Brandon Jenner — with ex Caitlyn Jenner. But a family source tells the Daily Mail that Nix is uninterested in the family complexity, and merely wants to have a relationship with her father and siblings. 'She is happy to have an additional family,' says a relative, 'and she has her original family who is there for her.

Why is a pro-Israel group asking the US to investigate Ms Rachel?
If you believe that babies can tell when a person is truly good, then it should be no surprise that Ms Rachel – the beloved kids YouTube sensation – has remained on the right side of every socio-political debate since the image of her pink tee and denim dungarees became ubiquitous in households with children across the world. But when Ms Rachel, whose given name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, began speaking out about the genocide in Gaza, pro-Israel rightwingers put a massive target on her back. Accurso first made her stance public around May 2024, when she announced a fundraiser for children in Gaza and other war zones. Since then, she's consistently drawn attention to the tragedy in Palestine by sharing statistics on the crisis along with images of Palestinian children to her social media audience of tens of millions of followers, and the right has been after her since. Back in March, the New York Post ran an article about Accurso calling her a 'Woke brainwasher' and warning parents against the influence they were allowing into their homes. Then, last month, the pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether Ms Rachel was operating as a foreign agent because of her posts about Gazan children. In an open letter to the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, they asked authorities to find out whether Accurso was 'being remunerated to disseminate Hamas-aligned propaganda to her millions of followers'. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of children have been killed or injured in Gaza since Israel began its onslaught in retaliation for Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack – and Israel isn't letting up, even as children face starvation. Last Saturday, Israeli airstrikes killed nine of a Gaza doctor's 10 children while she worked. If speaking up about a genocide makes you a foreign agent, what does that say about America's own values? 'I care deeply for all children. Palestinian children, Israeli children, children in the US – Muslim, Jewish, Christian children – all children, in every country,' Accurso said through tears on Instagram video from May of 2024. 'To do a fundraiser for children who are currently starving, who have no food or water, who are being killed, is human.' For this kind of thing – caring about innocent children – to be controversial is a clear sign of just how far we've strayed from our moral core as a society, and a reminder of the inhumanity that pervades this political moment. One of the distinct markers of pro-Israel rhetoric in recent times has been the way it intentionally and violently rejects the idea of children being vulnerable and innocent. Israel's supporters feel emboldened to cast babies as collateral damage at best, and 'enemies' at their most truly unhinged. And the pro-Israel crowd is angry at Accurso because in a war that does not want us to see them as such, she constantly reminds us that Palestinian children are people, and are deserving of the same kind of care and protection that the west gives its young. Her love for children has also made her an easy target for conservatives who like to label LGBTQ+ people and their allies as creeps and pedophiles looking to groom children. Last year, when Accurso shared a video celebrating Pride month on her Instagram and TikTok accounts (which are geared toward her adult supporters, of course), rightwing influencers called her 'sick' and complained that she was exposing children to 'things they shouldn't be exposed to'. For me, Accurso's speaking out also shines a harsh light on the absolute dearth of outrage from other far more powerful and influential celebrities. This month, more than 300 celebrities and Hollywood figures signed an open letter condemning the industry's silence on the genocide. This belated effort falls flat when you consider how people with much less power and way more to lose have risked their livelihoods and safety to speak up for what is right. Overall, though, the hatred for Accurso isn't just about Gaza. As a public figure, she is an indictment of everything that rightwingers want us to believe is bad. She's all about big feelings, standing up for vulnerable people, making people from all walks of life feel included, and celebrating what makes us different. Of course the right hates that. Figures like Accurso are an aberration in a world where bad news generates the most clicks and we are all supposed to be desensitized to the ways vulnerable people continue to have their lives, and the few protections they have left, snatched away from them.

Zinedine Zidane 'turns down £84MILLION offer to return to management' - after the former Real Madrid boss revealed he's holding out for his 'dream' role
Zinedine Zidane has reportedly turned down a one-year contract worth £84million to manage in Saudi Arabia. After calling time on his legendary playing career following the World Cup final in 2006, Zidane spent some time away from the sport before returning to Real Madrid to embark on a career in coaching. After cutting his teeth during an 18-month spell in charge of the club's reserve team Zidane would take the top job in January 2016 following the dismissal of Rafa Benítez. The Frenchman proved to be an instant success in the dugout, winning three consecutive Champions League trophies, an unprecedented feat in the modern era. However, after a second stint in charge of the club came to an end in 2021 Zidane has yet to take on another managerial position. And according to a report from L'Equipe, it is not due to a lack of suitors. A report from the French outlet claimed Zidane has been offered €100m (£84.3m) to take charge of Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. The club have been without a permanent manager since parting ways with Jorge Jesus in May, and are on the lookout for a new boss with the revamped Club World Cup on the horizon. Following Zidane's refusal, the club are said to be nearing a deal to appoint Inter boss Simone Inzaghi following the Italian's defeat in the Champions League final on Saturday. Zidane's decision not to take the Al-Hilal job is said to stem from his intention to succeed Didier Deschamps as the manager of the French national team. Deschamps announced earlier this year that he would step down from the role after more than a decade in charge following the 2026 World Cup. And speaking this week Zidane firmly put himself forward to be Deschamps' successor. 'I feel legitimate in the France team,' he said. '[It is] where I played and spent almost twelve, thirteen or fourteen years as a player. Of course, it's a dream, I can't wait.'
