Supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid have revealed they have another sister.
In a joint statement given to the Daily Mail , the siblings shared they have another half-sister named Aydan Nix, who is the daughter of their father, Mohamed Hadid.
The sisters stated their father had a 'brief romance' with Terri Hatfield Dull, the mother of 23-year-old Aydan, after his 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 outlined in their statement, which they highlighted they didn't know about until recently. Photo: Courtesy of Fashion Trust Arabia
'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 added. This prompted Aydan to 'take a genetic test out of curiosity', which led the then-teenager to uncover she had a 'biological connection' to the Hadid family.
According to their statement, Gigi and Bella connected with their younger half-sister in late 2023.
'We've cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,' Gigi and Bella stated, but also affirmed their hopes for Aydan's continued right to privacy.
'As siblings, we've had many open and loving conversations—with Aydan included—about how to support and protect her,' the sisters said in their statement to the outlet. '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.'
Not much is known about Aydan, apart from she currently resides in New York City, having reportedly recently graduated from Parsons School of Design, with the hopes of working in the fashion industry. Photo: Instagram
Bella, 28, and Gigi, 30, also have a brother, Anwar Hadid, 25, from Mohamed and Yolanda's marriage. They also have two other half-sisters, Alana Hadid, 39, and Marielle Hadid, 44, from Mohamed's previous marriage to Mary Butler.
While it's not known about the ins and outs of the supermodel siblings' relationship with Aydan, both Gigi and Bella follow the aspiring designer on Instagram, as well as Mohamed.
