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.'

Bella and Gigi Hadid reveal half-sister after their father had secret romance
Gigi and Bella Hadid have been keeping a secret. The supermodels have a half-sister named Aydan Nix that they just confirmed to the world. Gigi, 30, and Bella, 28, released a statement about their 23-year-old half-sibling on Thursday, revealing that Nix is the result of their father, Mohamed Hadid's 'brief romance' with a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull. They also shared that the real estate developer's relationship with Dull happened after his divorce from their mother, Yolanda Hadid, in 2001. 'Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,' Gigi and Bella told the Daily Mail in a statement. The sisters also revealed that Nix did not know Mohamed was her dad until recently. '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,' Gigi and Bella's statement continued. The Hadid sisters explained that Nix 'decided to take a genetic test out of curiosity,' which led to the shocking discovery that she had 'a biological connection' to them. Gigi and Bella said they have known about their half-sister for over a year, sharing that they 'first connected in late 2023,' with Daily Mail claiming it happened while Nix was studying abroad in Paris last year. Since then, the sisters said Nix has 'spent time' with the entire family, including Mohamed, 76, adding they have 'embraced' her 'with open arms'. 'We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,' Gigi and Bella continued before pleading for Nix's privacy. 'As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations— with Aydan included — about how to support and protect her,' the sisters 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.' Nix is a recent graduate from the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan and living in the city, with dreams of reportedly becoming a designer, stylist and aspiring influencer, according to Daily Mail. The outlet, which posted the shocking family secret on Thursday, claimed that Mohamed's relationship with Dull ended before she discovered she was pregnant. However, he allegedly 'always knew' about Nix but reportedly has 'not provided' her with financial support. A family source told the outlet that Mohamed is 'cordial and pleasant' with Nix. 'There's mutual respect,' they added, 'but there's also discretion.' The family insider also claimed that Mohamed was expected to attend Nix's graduation in May but allegedly cancelled the appearance 'about a week beforehand.' Gigi and Bella — who have a brother, Anwar Hadid, 25, from Mohamed and Yolanda's marriage — have been photographed with Nix on various occasions, but no one except those close to the family was aware of the connection until now. Besides the kids he shares with Yolanda, Mohamed is also dad to daughters Marielle, 44, and Alana, 39, whom he welcomed with his first wife, Mary Butler.

Major update on Mohamed Hadid's failed $77m ‘Starship Enterprise' megamansion
The remaining slabs of Mohamed Hadid's controversial $US50 million ($A77 million) Los Angeles megamansion have been put up for auction — years after the developer faced legal woes over the property. According to The Real Deal reported, the no-reserve sale has a starting bid of $US7.9 million ($A12.2 million) and lasts until July 16. The former residence earned the nickname 'Starship Enterprise' from alarmed neighbours, who feared the pad's colossal size and uncertain foundations would lead to a cliffside disaster for the entire neighbourhood, the New York Post reports. Compass's Tracy Tutor and Premiere Estates Auction Company's Todd Wohl hold the listing. The unfortunate eyesore currently belongs to Paul Ventura's Sahara Construction, which purchased the property at auction for $US5 million in 2021. MORE: Kelce secret hide-out to bulk without Taylor Dad blocks son's $177m amid public spat Entire town of 6000 live on SAME street Attempts to sell the Bel-Air property since then have failed to bear fruit. Sahara Construction has carefully demolished the partially built structure down to its concrete foundations, the Real Deal reported, citing a court-ordered engineering report that declared the site now safe for a home. Hadid previously tried to build a home twice that size, and was taken to court over his efforts. 'If this house came down the hill it would take a portion of the neighbourhood with it,' said Los Angeles Judge Craig Karlan in his 2019 ruling for Hadid to demolish the illegally built hillside home. Hadid, father to Bella and Gigi Hadid, began construction on the planned mansion in 2014. The real estate tycoon fought the city of Los Angeles for several years to build the estate. Hadid's company 901 Strada LLC filed for bankruptcy when he was ordered to tear down the structure. Things went from bad to worse for Hadid when he was ordered to pay a lump sum of $US2.6 million ($A4.02 million) toward his neighbours' legal costs in 2023, Realtor reports. At the time, Joe Horacek, 81, who was one of the neighbours who led the suit, told the Daily Mail of the ruling: 'I feel vindicated. Now I just want Hadid to pay up and go away.' Meanwhile, Hadid lamented, 'This is a joke — it's crazy.' He then revealed he had plans to countersue for 'two or three hundred million dollars.' Sahara Construction listed the property for sale in the fall of 2023 for $US18 million ($A27 million), The Real Deal reported, but the listing was removed last year. 'The demolition took a tremendous amount of money,' Premiere Estates Auction Company's Todd Wohl told the outlet. 'From the court's standpoint, the legal issues and development issues are cured. There's a flat pad now. This would survive a major earthquake.' Parts of this story first appeared in the New York Post and Realtor and were republished with permission.
