Inside the Hadid family: Ages, birth order, and hidden connections revealed

The Hadid family is one of the most recognizable families in the fashion and entertainment industry. With millions of followers and constant media attention, the Hadid family remains one of the hottest names.

But behind the fame and buzz lies a rich story of resilience, multicultural roots, and evolving family ties.

Let’s explore the Hadid family tree and how the family came into the spotlight:

The Patriarch: Mohamed Hadid

It all begins with Mohamed Anwar Hadid, born in 1948 in Nazareth, Palestine. His early life was filled with changes. His family fled from Syria during the 1948 war and later moved to the United States.

Mohamed Hadid, who later became a real estate mogul in Los Angeles, is the man behind the lavish lifestyle of the Hadid family.

The 76-year-old business tycoon is known for his Bel-Air mansions and high-profile family life.

The Matriarchs and marriages

Mohamed has been married twice. His first wife, Mary Butler, is the mother of his two eldest daughters, Marielle and Alana Hadid.

His second wife, Yolanda Hadid (a former model), from whom Mohamed has three more children, Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid.

The older sisters: Marielle and Alana Hadid

From Mohamed’s first marriage with Mary Butler:

Marielle Hadid 

Born on September 7, 1980, Marielle, 45, is the eldest Hadid sibling. She keeps a lower profile and is known for her creative projects and role as a mother.

Alana Hadid

Alana (born July 27, 1985, age 40) is a designer and stylist, often seen collaborating on fashion ventures.

These two are half-sisters to Gigi, Bella, and Anwar.

The famous trio: Gigi, Bella, and Anwar

From Mohamed’s second marriage with Yolanda:

Gigi Hadid

Gigi (born April 23, 1995, age 30) — the eldest of the second generation. She is globally recognized as a supermodel.

Bella Hadid

Born on October 9, 1996, Bella, 29, (the middle child) is also a supermodel, following the footsteps of her sister Gigi, and is also a social activist.

Anwar Hadid

Anwar Hadid (born June 22, 1999, age 26) — the youngest, a model and entrepreneur who’s also ventured into music.

The trio stands out as the core of the Hadid family modeling legacy.

The surprise addition: Aydan Nix

In 2025, fans were stunned when Aydan Nix (born 2001, age 24) was confirmed as Mohamed’s daughter from a brief relationship with Terri Hatfield Dull. Raised in Florida and trained in design at Parsons, Aydan is now recognized as part of the extended Hadid family, making her the youngest Hadid sibling.

Family ties and dynamics

The Hadid siblings share a mix of half-sibling and full-sibling relationships:

• Marielle and Alana are half-sisters to Gigi, Bella, and Anwar.
• Gigi, Bella, and Anwar are full siblings.
• Aydan is a half-sister to all five.

Moreover, there are no adopted children in the Hadid family; all siblings are connected biologically.

The Hadid family spans generations, cultures, and careers. Their Palestinian-Dutch-American background reflects diversity, while their unity despite fame and distance keeps the Hadid legacy strong across fashion, design, and media.
