Occasionally, Bella Hadid has confessed that her relationship with her elder sister, Gigi Hadid, hasn’t always been as harmonious as it appears in photos.
During an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show in May 2024, she explained the typical sibling squabbles such as stealing each other’s clothes, claiming the front seat, and arguing over music choices. She mentioned that these disagreements were particularly challenging during school commutes.
But the sisters never had any issues shaking off their petty squabbles.
In my perspective, it’s unavoidable to encounter challenges, yet what truly matters is the certainty of overcoming them. This is a crucial aspect of my bond with my sister; we journey through life as if we are inseparable comrades.
That hasn’t changed now that new sister Aydan Nix has strutted into their orbit.
Two years ago, the siblings, which include 25-year-old Anwar Hadid, Yolanda Hadid’s youngest child with Mohamed Hadid, as well as their father’s daughters from his first marriage to Mary Butler, found a new member for their group when Aydan became interested in her ancestry.
Approximately two decades ago, before they were sisters, Gigi (30) and Bella (28) shared that their dad, Mohamed, who was then single, had a short-lived romance resulting in a pregnancy. This relationship took place after his divorce from Yolanda in 2000. They referred to the woman as Terri Hatfield Dull. Aydan, born and brought up in Florida, spent her childhood with the man she fondly called her father until he tragically passed away when she was 19 years old.
After the loss, as the Hadids shared, the 23-year-old opted to undergo a genetic test out of curiosity. The findings unveiled a “genetic link” to the frequent runway models.
Interestingly enough, not only do they share the same DNA, but also an uncanny resemblance, with the high-profile Vogue cover models.
Similar to Bella, who accumulated her weekly $7-earnings from the Malibu juice bar Sunlife Organics to explore the Rose Bowl flea market for classic t-shirts, Aydan held down a part-time job as a teenager, delivering pizzas for Domino’s.
She also knew from an early age that an innate sense of style was in her blood.
As a child, I was captivated by my mother’s collection of Vogue magazines; I would spend hours poring over each issue, fantasizing about being part of the behind-the-scenes action. This early fascination eventually led me down a career path that values exploration, cultural understanding, and the urge to innovate, as Aydan shared in her LinkedIn bio.
Unbeknownst to her ties with some of the fashion world’s recurring figures, Aydan charted her unique course within the industry. She seized opportunities as an intern for a photographer based in Orlando, served as an assistant for a stylist situated in New York City, and worked at Harley’s, a second-hand clothing store nestled in Manhattan’s Lower East Side district.
Currently, a fresh graduate from Parsons School of Design – she earned her BFA in comprehensive design, specializing in fashion communication – is resolute on achieving success not only in this realm but also globally.
She shared on LinkedIn that she’s worked alongside stylists at prestigious red carpet functions and photoshoots, focusing on designer selections, wardrobe collections, and set styling. Additionally, she has independently managed and styled photo projects, collaborated with upcoming artists to create portfolio books, and devised fashion-forward PR events with innovative concepts.
Furthermore, she added, “I have a diverse background that encompasses showroom management, vintage selection, and social media promotion. This multi-faceted experience offers me a comprehensive understanding of the fashion world, viewing it not only through a creative lens but also operationally.
In her pursuit of opportunities in “editorial, fashion media, and creative direction, particularly in settings where visual narratives and groundbreaking ideas are highlighted,” it might be beneficial for her to casually note that she is acquainted with a few notable cover models who are currently popular.
She doesn’t yearn for a life filled with walking the Met Gala red carpet or being photographed by paparazzi alongside Gigi and Bella. Instead, Aydan prefers to live relatively quietly and away from the limelight.
In their statement, Gigi and Bella mentioned that they’ve had numerous heartfelt and affectionate discussions with Aydan, making sure to include her in these conversations about offering support and protection. However, on certain magical nights or occasions, there might be a couple of empty spots on Aydan’s calendar, as she enjoys listening to the band “The Tortured Poets Department” every now and then.
As Gigi and Bella noted, “We’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family.”
Since their family is incredibly large and expansive – a fact that became even more so during Yolanda’s six-year marriage to music producer David Foster, which ended in divorce in 2017 – it’s essential to delve deeper into the models’ extensive kinship for a comprehensive understanding.
David Foster, who boasts numerous titles like musician, composer, and producer, is also cherished as Dad by his six kids. In a conversation with People magazine in 2022, he expressed his joy of fatherhood, saying it’s wonderful being a dad, especially since reaching his seventh decade when he welcomed his youngest child, Rennie. While he loves all his children equally, he admitted that having more time now is a welcome change.
David has been married to Katharine McPhee, making this his fifth marriage. In his 2019 documentary, David Foster: Off the Record, he reflected on his past relationships and described himself as someone who would often move on from a relationship when something new caught his eye. However, regarding his relationship with Katharine, he reportedly expressed in the documentary that he’s content and happy where he is.
David originated from a large household, boasting no less than six sisters. One of them is renowned personality, Jaymes Foster, who welcomed son Parker with friend Clay Aiken in 2008. Although it was reported that Parker frequently sang before, Clay mentioned that Parker has opted for a different career direction since then. However, if Parker decides to pursue a career in music, he can surely seek advice from his accomplished relatives.
“My son possesses not only an abundance of musical talent, but also the ‘Idol’ spirit within him,” Clay remarked. “His uncle is David Foster, a producer, and so his aunt is Katharine McPhee.
David’s oldest child, Allison Jones, was born when he was 20 and given up for adoption; they later reconnected as adults. Currently, she serves as the Director at The David Foster Foundation. As her biography states, “Allison holds an MBA from McMaster University and resides in Edmonton, Alberta with her husband Brent and their two children.
In the early 70s, David got married to his bandmate B.J. Cook, who was part of The Hawks and Skylark bands along with him. This took place in 1972, making Tamre Winger, B.J.’s daughter, his stepdaughter. A year later, they had a daughter named Amy S. Foster together. Unfortunately, they divorced in 1981. However, in 2023, an extraordinary event occurred as David and B.J. were both awarded stars on the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame StarWalk.
Just like her parents, Amy S. Foster, known for the ‘S’ in their band Skylark, is a talented musician who has penned songs for renowned artists such as Michael Bublé, Rod Stewart, and Destiny’s Child. Growing up in Toronto without her father David was difficult, but she emphasized that their relationship improved significantly over time. Amy shared that her bond with her dad is exceptional now, appreciating his willingness to change and evolve.
David has been accused of abandoning his older children by some social media users, but his second eldest daughter clarified that there was no such abandonment. Apart from being a songwriter, Amy is an author, the founder of a yarn label, and a mother to three children: Eva, Mikaela (from her previous marriage with Simon Gillies), and Vaughn, who she had with husband Matthew Freeman.
In 1982, David got married to Rebecca Dyer. Together they had three daughters named Sara Foster, Erin Foster, and Jordan Foster. These daughters have shared their heartfelt bonds with their mother in later years.
For instance, in a birthday tribute penned in 2021, Erin wrote, “It takes growing up to truly recognize the impact your mom has had on you. In my twenties, I dismissed every piece of advice from her, hurried her off the phone, and essentially urged her to live her own life. With each passing year of my thirties, I find myself needing my mother more.”
Sadly, Rebecca and David parted ways in 1986, and he later married Linda Thompson.
Sara, born in 1981, is the eldest child of David and Rebecca and shares many experiences with her sister Erin. Together they starred in the show Barely Famous from 2015 to 2016, hosted a podcast called The World’s First Podcast, co-founded apparel brand Favorite Daughter and venture capital firm Oversubscribed Ventures. Sara also served as an executive producer for Erin’s Netflix rom-com Nobody Wants This.
In her early career, Sara made appearances in the series spin-off 90210 and films like D.E.B.S., Demoted and The Big Bounce.
She is a mother to daughters Valentina and Josephine with tennis player Tommy Haas. Although Sara announced in November 2024 that she and Tommy have separated, Erin clarified that he remains an integral part of their family.
On Jeff Lewis Live, Erin praised Tommy, calling him a fantastic individual. She highlighted his exceptional fatherly qualities and mentioned that he was currently enjoying dinner with her husband and another brother-in-law, Tom. In essence, she stated that Tommy has become an integral part of their family for good.
18 months after Sara, Erin was born in the year 1982. Alongside Sara, she co-created “Nobody Wants This,” founded “The World’s First Podcast” and Oversubscribed Ventures, and is also known as a fellow alum of “Barely Famous.” She has acted in various projects such as “Daddy Issues,” “Circle,” and “Tell Me You Love Me.”
In May 2024, Erin gave birth to her daughter named Noa Mimi Tikhman with her husband, Simon Tikhman.
Jordan, born in 1985, is involved in the family business as the Style Director for Favorite Daughter. She’s not only a part of this venture but also a renowned stylist, having collaborated with celebrities such as Ashley Graham, Aly Raisman, and Lily Aldridge. Alongside her husband Tom Woodger, she is a parent to children Otto and Juni.
Linda has had multiple high-profile romantic connections throughout her life. In the ’70s, she dated Elvis Presley and later married Caitlyn Jenner in 1981. Their divorce was finalized in 1986. At that time, Caitlyn already had children from previous relationships – Burt Jenner and Cassandra Marino with Chrystie Scott, and during their marriage, they had sons Brandon and Brody. Caitlyn later married Kris Jenner in 1991, becoming a stepmother to the Kardashian siblings: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob. Before the split in 2013, Kris and Caitlyn welcomed daughters Kendall and Kylie.
After her separation from Caitlyn, Linda met David in 1985, and they reunited in 1986 when he confessed his feelings for her and ended his relationship with Rebecca. As Linda recounts in her book “A Little Thing Called Life,” she felt deeply connected to David, although their initial union was not ideal. She has since come to terms with their past and forgiven herself.
Linda and David wed in 1991 and collaborated on Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” for the movie “The Bodyguard.” Their marriage ended in 2005.
In a 2021 YouTube video with his mother Linda, Brandon spoke about David, who became his stepfather when he was young. David was a significant figure in their lives during childhood and had a strong career focus. The family appeared together on the reality TV series “The Princes of Malibu” in 2005 along with Spencer Pratt from “The Hills.” Despite Linda and David’s divorce that same year, they have maintained a good relationship, as evidenced by David attending Brandon’s record release party in 2016 and expressing support for his music. Brandon is currently married to Cayley Jenner and shares twins Bo and Sam, as well as daughter Joan with her. He also has a daughter named Eva from his previous marriage to Leah James.
Brody, Linda’s youngest child from Caitlyn, has been a familiar face on various television shows. Apart from starring in “The Princes of Malibu,” he also made appearances on “The Hills,” its reboot “The Hills: New Beginnings,” and “Bromance.” Additionally, he featured in episodes of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
Similar to Brandon, Brody seems to have kept a connection with David. In July 2024, Brody shared a video of his daughter Honey on social media. David left a comment on the adorable clip, saying, “She is sooo darn cute!!!”
Sara and Erin have spoken about their experiences watching David step into the role of a father figure for both Brody and Brandon.
In a 2019 episode of Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson’s podcast, Sibling Revelry, Sara stated that while our dad was indeed a parent, he wasn’t raising us specifically. Instead, he was caring for Brandon and Brody.
David has acknowledged the evolution of his relationship with Sara, Erin, and Jordan, expressing regret in 2020 to People magazine about not being present in their upbringing due to geographical challenges and a busy work schedule. He admitted that his efforts were often imperfect, but he did the best he could under the circumstances. Erin has mentioned that after some sincere conversations, they’ve managed to improve their relationship.
Their collective sentiment is that, while they’ve had disagreements in the past, they’ve all forgiven each other and are now a family like any other family.
It seems that Mohamed Hadid, Yolanda Hadid’s former husband and father to Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, and Anwar Hadid, facilitated their relationship with David. In an interview with Vanity Fair in 2017, he stated, “I introduced them, and he’s turned out to be one of the best stepfathers to my daughters. It’s a blessing.”
Yolanda and David married in 2011, and their relationship was showcased on her Bravo series. After four years, they divorced in 2017. Since then, Yolanda has been engaged to Joseph Jingoli. In her book “Believe Me: My Battle With the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease,” she suggested that her battle with Lyme disease may have strained their marriage. She wrote, “He lost his wingman, his partner in crime, and I feel as if he’s starting to get impatient with my recovery.”
However, David has refuted the claim that Yolanda’s condition was the cause of their separation. In 2015, he stated he stood by her during her Lyme diagnosis. Yet, he prefers not to discuss what led to the end of their relationship. As he said in “David Foster: Off the Record,” “The fact of the matter is that was not the reason I left. It was for a different reason, which I will never disclose, but it had nothing to do with her being sick.
In the course of his union with Yolanda, David took on a step-parental role towards their children, namely Gigi, Bella, and Anwar. It seems that Gigi continues to maintain a connection with David’s daughter, Erin.
Gigi recently messaged me last night, mentioning that she had begun watching the show, as the creator stated on an episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen’ in September 2024. “The parents are divorced, not the children,” she explained.
Regarding Erin’s contact with Yolanda, she said, “Not as frequently as the kids,” implying that the parents have separated but the children remain connected.
Gigi is renowned for her modeling career and is also the founder of Guest in Residence, a cashmere knitwear brand. She shares a daughter named Khai with her former partner and One Direction member Zayn Malik. More recently, she has been in a relationship with Bradley Cooper.
After his breakup with Yolanda, David has also enjoyed friendly moments with Gigi and Bella Hadid. For instance, he was seen cheering them on at a 2016 fashion show, which he captioned on Instagram as “Step-Love” with the girls giving him a kiss on the cheek and the hashtag “#theykilledit”.
In addition, David and Bella shared an embrace when they crossed paths at the 2018 Met Gala, where he was making his red carpet debut with Katharine.
Apart from modeling, Bella, who openly discusses her struggle with Lyme disease, is managing her non-alcoholic beverage company Kin Euphorics and fragrance brand Orebella. She is currently in a relationship with Adan Banuelos.
Anwar is the younger sibling of Gigi and Bella, both known for making waves in the modeling world, and he’s following suit by capturing attention himself. In addition to his work on the runway, Anwar is a musician with the band Oswald and co-founder of the jewelry brand Martyre. Previously, he was involved in a two-year relationship with Dua Lipa, which ended in 2021. More recently, there have been whispers about his romantic involvement with Sophia Piccirilli, two years after their split.
Katharine and David’s friendship turned into a romantic relationship around 11 years after they first met. In 2006, she was a contestant on American Idol, and he was one of the show’s mentors. However, it wasn’t until after Katharine’s divorce from Nick Cokas in 2016 and David’s split from Yolanda that they started to generate dating rumors. Initially, they didn’t confirm these rumors, but eventually, they got engaged in 2018. They married in London in 2019 and had a son named Rennie two years later. Despite their 34-year age difference, they don’t seem to care about people’s opinions. In an interview on Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast in 2023, Katharine said, “I understand the initial judgment, but things are never as they seem. I’m in love with our love story, and that’s all that matters to me.
In February 2021, David and Katharine welcomed their son Rennie into the world. His early drumming abilities hint at a possible genetic predisposition towards music, much like his parents.
David titled a video of a then-two-year-old Rennie playing drums, “Progress,” expressing his intention to start giving him lessons.
Despite touring with his parents, it’s the everyday moments at home that Katharine values most. Speaking to TopMob News in 2023, she shared, “I truly appreciate simple, ordinary things like picking up my child from school. To me, these moments are exciting because he is overjoyed to see me and exclaims, ‘You’re back! You’re back!’ I know this feeling won’t last forever.
