Gigi and Bella Hadid’s half-sister Aydan Nix speaks out after paternity reveal

Aydan Nix, the previously unknown half-sister of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, has spoken publicly about her relationship with the famous siblings following the revelation of her paternity. The 23-year-old recently shared her story after it was confirmed that Mohamed Hadid is her biological father, the result of a brief relationship he had after his divorce from Yolanda Hadid.

Nix discovered the truth about her biological family after taking a genetic test following the death of the man she had believed was her father. The discovery ultimately led to contact with the Hadid family, including Gigi and Bella, who she says welcomed her warmly despite the unexpected nature of the revelation.

In her account, Nix said her sisters and extended family have been “nothing but warm and generous,” helping her navigate the emotional complexity of learning about her identity later in life. She explained that forming relationships with her siblings has given her a deeper understanding of her background and a strong sense of belonging she previously lacked.

Despite the intense public interest surrounding the Hadid name, Nix said her day-to-day life has remained largely the same. She continues to live in New York and work in fashion styling, noting that while the connection to her sisters has opened some doors, she remains focused on building her own path independently.

The paternity revelation became public earlier this year when Gigi and Bella Hadid acknowledged their father had another child and asked for privacy as their family adjusted. Since then, Nix has gradually opened up about her experience, emphasizing gratitude for the support she has received as she builds a relationship with her newly discovered siblings.
