The secret celeb siblings who shunned fame… from Osbourne ‘hermit' to Delevingne sister who's real brains of the family
Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player... SIBLING rivalry can be fierce - but imagine if your brother or sister was a world famous celebrity? That's the case for Aydan Nix, the secret half-sister of Bella and Gigi Hadid, who only met her supermodel siblings for the first time less than two years ago. 17 17 Her mother had a brief romance with Bella and Gigi's multi-million dollar property tycoon dad Mohamed, but Aydan's connection to the family was kept under wraps for more than two decades, with her father not providing financial support. Aydan, 23, grew up in Florida with a different man whom she believed was her father, until he died when she was 19, prompting her to take a DNA test and discover she was in fact a Hadid. The sisters confirmed on Thursday that they'd met their half-sister, saying they have "cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family'. Adyan's case is pretty unusual, in that she had no idea of her showbiz connections until recently, and with her striking looks it wouldn't be surprising if she too began to carve out a star profile of her own. Snaps of the trio show them frequently enjoying trips to the beach together and nights out in swanky New York City nightclubs. But other siblings of famous stars often prefer a life out of the limelight, happy to live in their relative's shadow. Here we reveal the secret celebrity brothers and sisters you probably had no idea existed. Chloe Delevingne Her youngest sister Cara is one of the most famous supermodels and actresses in the world, while her other sister Poppy, 11 months her junior, has also made waves on the catwalk for brands like Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. But there's no doubt Chloe Delevingne, 39, is the brains of the family. While her sisters were posing up a storm, Chloe was studying biomedical science and tumour biology at the illustrious University College London. Bella Hadid's see-through dress was 'shocking' for 'sophisticated and elegant' Cannes – she 'should've dialed it down' 17 17 Chloe used her medical background to co-found the Lady Garden Foundation charity, which aims to raise awareness for gynaecological health. She's also been training to become a midwife, telling Cotswold Life in July 2023: 'It's hard but good and very rewarding. 'I think if you can help any woman when she is at her most vulnerable to have the birth she wants then there's a lot to be gained.' The three sisters also launched a vegan prosecco brand together in 2020. The Gallagher Sister 17 17 Given the Oasis brothers have only just managed to make it up with each other, it might not come as a surprise that they don't have the best relationship with their secret sister, who grew up round the corner in Burnage, Greater Manchester. Emma Davies, 51, was born just months after Liam in the very same hospital. She shares their dad Tommy, who had an affair with Emma's mother June. Despite this, the Oasis rockstars have reportedly refused her attempts to make contact and have never met each other. 'I would like to meet them. Obviously you're going to want to meet your brothers,' she previously told MailOnline. It was her buying the album (What's the story) Morning Glory that prompted Emma's mum to tell her the truth about who her father was. 'When she... saw the CD she said, 'I think you'd better sit down, I've got something to tell you.' I was completely flabbergasted,' Emma recalled. She last met her father in 2006 when she was 32, but his unstable nature quickly led them to become estranged again. The Oasis bandmates have also been estranged from their father for years, with Noel saying in 2019 his dad 'doesn't mean anything to me'. The Oasis rockers also have a lesser-known older brother, Paul Gallagher, who keeps out of the spotlight but has a close bond with them both. He revealed in a recent interview: 'I speak to the pair of them. I see Liam every other day." He has previously opened up about the pair's infamous public rift, saying: "I do my own thing, I stay away from it as much as humanely possible." The Osbournes - plus one 17 17 The Osbournes essentially paved the way of the Kardashians with their no holds barred, fly-on-the-wall reality show back in 2001. But while Sharon and Ozzy's kids Kelly and Jack welcomed the MTV crew into their lives, their older sister Aimee decided to opt out. At 16 she moved out of the family home, though later confessed she would have liked to stay a 'little longer'. 'Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?' she said. Now 40, she still keeps her private life under wraps, and has been dubbed the 'hermit' of the family. She has, however, followed in her father's footsteps with a career in music, and is currently lead singer of pop band ARO. She isn't exactly close with her sister, with Kelly telling the Dax Shepard podcast in 2023: 'We don't talk... We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her.' Aimee has echoed that sentiment. 'I wouldn't say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance,' she told The Independent. 'Do we socialise? No.' Fortunately she gets on well with her other sibling Jack - and together they're planning to produce a biopic all about their famous parents. The third Strictly sister 17 17 Strictly Come Dancing sisters Oti and Motsi Mabuse have revealed they have a secret third sister - who is the "best dancer" of them all. Their sister Phemelo, 39, who is the middle child of the family, keeps away from the limelight as she works as a mechanical engineer in South Africa. Nonetheless, the third sibling shares her sister's dancing abilities, keeping a toe in the professional dance world and competing at the World Dance Championships. Oti revealed on the Jonathan Ross Show: "To be honest, we have another sister, middle sister, she was the better dancer. "She's a mechanical engineer. She designs windmills which create electricity through wind in South Africa.' The siblings do occasionally post pictures together, however, and in their rare Instagram appearances, fans can't believe how similar the three are. Oti remarked that they all have the 'same nose' as one fan gushed they also have the 'same lips' and complimented them all as "beautiful". Scarlett Moffat 17 17 Famous on the telly for... watching the telly - there's almost an Inception-like feeling to Gogglebox. Out of all its ordinary people turned stars, Scarlett Moffatt is arguably the most famous of them all, especially after being crowned Queen of the Jungle following her stint on I'm A Celeb. While we've been watching her with parents Mark and Betty since she was 18, few will be aware Scarlett, now 34, has a younger sister, Ava, who is 15 years her junior. Fans did get a glimpse of Ava - now aged 18 and studying archeology at university - in season seven of Gogglebox. Scarlett has previously gushed over their close relationship despite the significant age gap, posting on her birthday: "Watching you grow up into the amazingly kind, intelligent, beautiful, bloody hilarious lady has been a blessing." The fourth Jonas Brother 17 17 Joe, Nick and Kevin together make up one of the most famous trios in pop music. But did you know that they could have been a quad? That's because they in fact have another brother, Frankie, who himself is a singer. He's also had some success as an actor, though nothing on the scale of his Camp Rock siblings. The 24-year-old launched a music career in 2023, and has since released two singles. And in typical Gen Z style, he's also starting to make a splash on TikTok. So could three become four? It might only be a matter of time. Doug Pitt 17 17 You might think being Brad Pitt's brother dooms you to a life as second fiddle. Fortunately his younger sibling Doug, has enjoyed plenty of success in his own right - just in an industry that's a lot more low-key than Brad's. The 58-year-old, who is married to wife Lisa and has three children, made a fortune of his own after selling a hefty stake of his computing company back in 2007. He's also a dedicated philanthropist, appointed the first ever Goodwill Ambassador for the United Republic of Tanzania in 2010 by President Jakaya Kikwete. And there's definitely no bitterness about having such a huge star as his older brother. In fact, he's even starred in a Virgin Mobile Australia advert portraying a comedic version of Brad as 'The Second Most Famous Pitt'.

Gigi And Bella Hadid Reveal They Have A Newly-Discovered Half-Sister
The world's most famous model sisters have revealed that they have another half-sister, destined for a career in fashion design In a revelation that may bring another Hadid into the fashion industry fold, supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid have shared that they recently connected with a previously unknown half-sister, Aydan Nix. The sisters confirmed the news in a joint statement to the Daily Mail, explaining that Aydan, now 23, is the daughter of their father, real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, and Terri Hatfield Dull. The relationship took place after Mohamed's divorce from Yolanda Hadid in 2001. 'Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,' the Palestinian-Dutch sisters revealed, adding that they only learned of Aydan's existence recently. Aydan was raised in Florida by the man she had always known as her father—until his unexpected death when she was 19. '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,' the statement read. It was this loss that prompted her to 'take a genetic test out of curiosity,' ultimately leading her to discover her 'biological connection' to the Hadid family. According to Bella and Gigi, the siblings established contact with Aydan in late 2023. Although details about Aydan's life remain limited, it is understood she resides in New York City and is a recent graduate of Parsons School of Design, with aspirations of pursuing a career in fashion. The Hadid siblings—Bella, 28, Gigi, 30, and Anwar, 25—are well known for their close family ties. They also have two older half-sisters, Alana Hadid, 39, and Marielle Hadid, 44, from Mohamed's earlier marriage to Mary Butler. 'We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,' they shared. In their statement, the sisters also voiced their desire to protect Aydan's privacy as she navigates this personal development. 'As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations—with Aydan included—about how to support and protect her,' 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.'

The VERY complicated Hadid family: As Gigi and Bella's secret half-sister is revealed, how the models are linked to Hollywood royalty, including Kylie Jenner and Elvis Presley
Bella and Gigi Hadid have revealed their stunning secret half-sister Aydan Nix in an exclusive statement to the Daily Mail - but it's far from being the only surprising family connections the models have. Both sisters, along with their brother Anwar, share unlikely links to some of Hollywood's most glitzy A-listers across the ages; from Elvis to Kylie Jenner. At the heart of their plethora of showbiz webs is ex-step father and award-winning composer David Foster, who has been dubbed 'Patient Zero of the Kardashian phenomenon' by his own daughter, thanks to his five famous marriages, according to Vanity Fair. The producer, as well as being wed to Yolanda Hadid for seven years, has also been married to Caitlyn Jenner 's ex Linda Thompson, who enjoyed a four year romance with 'The King of Rock' Presley in the 70s. Further red strings emerge when it emerges that Robert Kardashian - Kris Jenner 's ex and the father of her children - too was linked to the musical legend as he dated his wife Priscilla after his sister-in-law was linked to the star's road manager Joe Esposito. The most recent familial surprise comes from the Hadids themselves, as Gigi, 30, and Bella, 28, confirmed they have a secret sibling who has become part of their inner circle after meeting for the first time less than two years ago. The 23-year-old graduated from the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan earlier this month and was born after her mother became pregnant after a brief romance with Mohamed Hadid, the models' multi-millionaire real estate developer father. Aydan and her mother's link to the superstar family have been kept under wraps for almost two decades, until now. The sisters on Thursday said that they have 'cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family'. The Daily Mail understands that Mohamed, now 76, maintains a relationship with Aydan in private but has never acknowledged her publicly. The young graduate, who grew up in Orlando, Florida, studied Fine and Studio Arts at Parsons and connected with the sisters when she was studying abroad in Paris last year. Since then, she has been photographed with them on multiple occasions. They have been spotted on nights out in New York and during bikini-clad trips to the beach. Family members told the the Daily Mail that the newfound sisters have kept in contact and were 'becoming closer'. David, as well as being wed to Yolanda Hadid for six years, has also been married to Caitlyn Jenner 's ex Linda Thompson, who enjoyed a four year romance with 'The King of Rock' Presley in the 70s. They follow each other on social media and appear on each others' Instagram stories. Aydan's relationship with Bella and Gigi is far from her only Hollywood link, with the Hadids invisibly tethered to many A-listers via their mother's second marriage. Yolanda, 61 - who was married to Mohamed from 1994 to 2000, with the couple having Gigi, Bella and Anwar together - went on to have a relationship with music industry legend David Foster and the pair wed in 2011. They later announced in 2015 that they were divorcing, and the process was finalized two years later. The Canadian record producer, 75, has worked with countless stars including George Harrison, Rod Stewart, Dolly Parton, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin and Celine Dion. He served as a stepfather to all three of Yolanda's kids. Since the split, the families appear to have maintained fairly congenial relationships. David, who had previously been married to B.J. Cook, 82, Rebecca Dyer, 73, and Linda Thompson, 75, later got engaged to actress Katharine McPhee, 41, in 2018 and tied the knot with her the following year. In February 2021, they welcomed their first child together, a son, Rennie, now four. He became the six of David's children, including his oldest daughter Allison Jones, 54, who was born when David was 20 and was initially adopted by another couple, though she later reconnected with him and took on a major role at the David Foster Foundation. His other daughters include Amy S. Foster, 51; Sara Foster, 43; Erin Foster, 40; and Jordan Foster, 37. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Erin previously spoke about how Gigi had kept up a relationship with her former step-siblings. 'Gigi actually just DMed me last night saying she was starting to watch the show,' she said, referring to her hit Netflix rom-com Nobody Wants This. 'The kids don't get divorced, just the parents do.' Gigi has also welcomed a daughter, Khai, with fellow A-lister Zayn Malik in 2020. It is through David's past marriage to singer Linda that he bridges the Hadids to the Jenners, as she was married to Caitlyn Jenner from 1981 to 1985, with the couple sharing sons Brandon and Brody. Caitlyn went on to wed Kris Jenner, 69 - the Kardashian's matriarch - and the pair were married for more than two decades. They had daughters Kylie, 27, and Kendall, 29 - who are both now known to be pals with the Hadid sisters. Kris, who had Kourtney, 46, Kim, 44, Khloe, 40, and Rob, 38, with her late ex-husband and Hollywood lawyer Robert also links the Hadids to the Kardashian by proxy. And both Linda and Robert offer a bizarre Old Hollywood bridge for the family - as they dated both Elvis and Priscilla Presley respectively. Speaking to CNN in 2002, Linda opened up about the challenges of dating such a big star - and admitted she still thought of him decades on. 'You know, it's over 25 years since his passing. He had a tremendous impact on my life, my perception of life, my perception of love and what romance and marriage and family should be, could be,' she revealed. 'So, yes, I think of him even in subliminal terms sometimes. He influences my music and lyrics, as do all the people that I have loved in my life, from my mom and dad to other people that I have loved.' Elsewhere, some reports have even claimed that Robert and Priscilla nearly got married.
