Stop everything. The Hadid sisters just dropped a bombshell that’s making even the Kardashians clutch their pearls. In a scandalous twist worthy of a Ryan Murphy drama, Gigi and Bella Hadid have publicly acknowledged their secret third sister. Her name is Aydan Nix, a 23-year-old fashion girlie who’s apparently been living her best low-key life in Florida… until now.
In a gag-worthy, carefully worded statement to the Daily Mail (because, of course), the Hadid sisters revealed that Aydan is the love child of their father, the eternally messy real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, and a woman named Terri Hatfield Dull, never heard of her? Don’t worry. Neither had we. But let’s get into it.
A Baby, A “Brief Romance,” and a Shocking Secret
According to the Hadid girls, Aydan was conceived after Mohamed’s “brief romance” with Dull. This was after his 2001 divorce from Yolanda Hadid. Let’s pause there. So while Yolanda was on Real Housewives, lecturing Gigi about eating half an almond, Mohamed was allegedly out here planting seeds and then vanishing into the Beverly Hills mist. Shocking? No. On brand? Completely.
Aydan, who grew up thinking another man was her father, only learned the truth after he died when she was 19. It’s a classic “I took a DNA test and found out I’m a Hadid” moment. The level of Maury Povich’s energy is staggering.
Who Is Aydan Nix? The Third Hadid Girl Emerges
Born and raised in Florida (of course), Aydan was reportedly unaware of her billion-dollar bloodline until she submitted a 23andMe sample, and the results came back: “You are 100% That Hadid.”
According to the sisters’ statement, the Hadids first connected with her in late 2023 and “embraced Aydan with open arms.” They’ve since welcomed her into the family fold, where she’s reportedly bonded with everyone, including the elusive Mohamed.
“She’s spent time with all of us… and we’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family,” the sisters gushed. Okay, poetic. But let’s not forget that this “unexpected and beautiful addition” came with decades of silence and a wealthy man pretending she didn’t exist.
Mohamed Hadid: The Fertile Phantom Father
Now to Mohamed Hadid, 76. A man who’s built a legacy of real estate, public feuds, and surprise daughters. Sources told the Daily Mail that Mohamed’s relationship with Aydan’s mother ended before she even realized she was pregnant. But here’s the kicker. He allegedly always knew about Aydan.
Yes, you read that right. He knew. And according to the outlet, he has not provided financial support for Aydan. Not a dime. Not even a luxury purse. Imagine being a Hadid and still paying student loans.
Still, sources claim that Mohamed is now “cordial and pleasant” with Aydan. Whatever that means. And that there’s “mutual respect.” Translation? They’re playing nice for the press.
Aydan Graduates, Mohamed Ghosts
The plot thickens. Aydan recently graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York. Where else? She reportedly hoped her biological father would attend. He was expected. Then he bailed a week before. Daddy of the Year behavior, truly.
Mohamed’s no-show at her graduation wasn’t exactly a surprise. After all, we’re talking about a man known more for his McMansion lawsuits and alleged zoning violations than his parenting skills.
Meet the Hadid Sibling Lineup Now With Bonus Sister
Let’s recap the Hadid brood:
- Gigi Hadid, 30. Supermodel, mom, Zayn Malik’s ex, forever booked and busy.
- Bella Hadid, 28. Model, Dior darling, Lyme warrior, and undisputed Gen Z icon.
- Anwar Hadid, 25. Model, elusive, briefly dated Dua Lipa, mostly mysterious.
- Marielle Hadid, 44. The firstborn lives a quieter life, design-focused.
- Alana Hadid, 41. Also a designer and influencer, more artsy than tabloid.
- And now: Aydan Nix, 23. Fashion hopeful, secret sister, Parsons grad, and the new wildcard in this gilded dynasty.
Aydan reportedly wants to work in fashion as a designer, stylist, and influencer. Because, duh, it’s in her blood. With those cheekbones and that last name, she could walk into any casting tomorrow and slay.
Protecting Privacy or Hiding the Drama?
Gigi and Bella have asked the public to “respect Aydan’s privacy” while announcing her existence via the British tabloids. But sure, let’s all pretend we didn’t just get served a whole soap opera.
Aydan, for now, remains largely off the grid, but don’t be shocked if she appears on the runway this summer.
Hadid Dynasty Gets a Plot Twist
The Hadid family story is pretty much dripping in dynastic dysfunction, designer secrets, and the kind of wealthy family drama that makes for an excellent Sunday brunch conversation. The Hadids have just turned their family tree into a reality TV script, and we’re absolutely watching.
Gigi and Bella Hadid’s mother, Yolanda, probably lit up a sage and whispered, “I knew it.”
The Hadid name just got a lot more complicated, and Aydan Nix might be the most fascinating Hadid yet.
Welcome to the runway, Aydan. The world’s watching now.
