"After his passing, she decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity, and that's how she discovered a biological connection to us." It was in "late 2023" that the Hadids first encountered their younger half-sister, and they have since "embraced" her into their larger family. "We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family," according to their statement. "As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations—with Aydan included—about how to support and protect her," they went on, adding, "Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. While she continues her life as a young lady in New York, we respectfully request that others do the same and respect her right to remain anonymous as well as her choice to remain anonymous. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 28: Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid (/AFP) It has been stated that Aydan has recently completed his studies at the Parsons School of Design. Following in the footsteps of her older half-sisters, she has also engaged in some modeling, as evidenced by her Instagram account. In addition, Bella and Gigi have two elder half-sisters, Marielle and Alana Hadid, who are the result of Mohamed's union with Mary Butler in his previous marriage.
