Sister
Bella is one and a half years younger than Gigi and follows in the footsteps of her older sister, achieving the same success in fashion.

Brother
Anwar is the youngest in the Hadid family: he will turn 16 this June. According to his mother Yolanda Foster, he “loves swimming and traveling, but most he still has a passion for basketball." He seems the only one who could follow in the footsteps of his father, who could be a good mentor for him: Anwar is "interested in architecture and has impeccable social skills and a gift for communication."The youngest of the Hadid family can be found both on the red carpet and at the Coachella festival: each of his sisters, with whom he is very friendly, can count on his support.
The beloved woman of 68-year-old millionaire Mohammed Hadid is 31 years younger than him - the luxurious Shiva Safai, who suits couture so well, became a friend of Gigi, Bella and other children of the chosen one from different marriages. Today she is a real star, which is not surprising: in the USA there is an opinion that all women who are related to Mohammed Hadid sooner or later wake up famous. So, the daughters of an architect and developer, one of the richest and most famous businessmen in California, became the main supermodels of the era - who doesn’t know Gigi and Bella Hadid?
The biography of an enterprising Muslim is all “Santa Barbara”: a Jordanian by birth, he moved from Syria to the United States, bought the Ritz-Carlton hotels in New York and Washington, surpassing Trump himself in the volume of transactions, and is still involved in a huge number of development projects projects. Mohammed Hadid is very rich, charismatic and famous, and therefore he was always surrounded by only the most beautiful women.
His first wife was Mary Butler, with whom he had two daughters, Alana and Mariel. Mohamed's second wife was the Dutchwoman Yolanda van den Herik, mother of Gigi and Bella, as well as son Anwar. The couple broke up in 2000, and since then Mohammed Hadid has not been seen in a serious relationship for a long time.
In 2014, the 65-year-old businessman met a gorgeous Arab woman, Shiva Safai, who was old enough to be his daughter, over dinner at a Los Angeles restaurant. They say that Hadid fell in love like a boy - on the sultry Shiva’s Instagram, touching posts every now and then appear demonstrating the 68-year-old millionaire’s love for his passion. The couple has been enjoying their love for three years, and the moment when Mohammed proposed to the girl was captured and posted online by the newly minted bride.
Shiva Safai was born in Iran, raised in Norway, and at the age of 19 she moved with her family to the United States. She made a career as a model and journalist in Arabic gloss, tried herself in interior design and became the new heroine of the reality show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” where Mohammed’s second wife, the mother of Gigi and Bella, previously participated.
Today, the couple happily poses in front of their luxurious mansion in Bel Air: being a design specialist, Shiva is proud of the classic interior of the huge house - the couple does not recognize minimalism. They are not used to keeping silent about their relationship - Shiva talks left and right about how she loves, is loved and is incredibly happy with the man of her dreams. Moreover, she speaks not only about her love for him, but also for his many offspring - Safai does not have her own children, and therefore she became a real friend to Hadid’s daughters. Shiva is especially close to Bella - today she is accompanying the beauty in Cannes.
ELLE selected the most significant facts from the life of the main model of the Instagram era.
Gigi is a made up name. The model's real name is Jelena Noura Hadid. The author of the “creative pseudonym” is Gigi’s mother, TV star Yolanda Foster.
“Kendall is more cautious, and on the contrary, I am more harsh. When we are together at a party, I behave more spontaneously and emotionally. And still we get along great,” this is what Gigi says about her friend.
Gigi is one of the main stars of Instagram, a bright representative of the generation of celebrities who have made a career through social networks. Hadid's Instagram following is approaching 16 and a half million. Gigi herself believes that she was lucky to be born in the era of Twitter and Instagram, to be able to talk about herself with the public sincerely and directly. “When people pretend on social networks, it looks unnatural. And vice versa - people like sincerity. Cara Delevingne has never been afraid to seem strange. I don't think I get job offers because of the popularity of my blogs. I’m sure it’s the other way around: the number of my followers is growing because of my work,” says Gigi.
Gigi was born into a wealthy family. Gigi's mother, Yolanda Hadid-Foster (née van den Herik), was once a model and in recent years has become a national TV star on the reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Gigi's father, Mohamed Hadid, is a businessman, investor, developer, engaged in luxury real estate, and owns the Ritz-Carlton hotels in Washington and New York.
In 2000, Gigi's parents separated after six years of marriage. 10 years later, Yolanda Hadid married the eminent music producer David Foster, taking his last name. Last December, the couple announced their divorce, and Yolanda took her first husband’s surname back to “be closer to the children.”
After all these family combinations, Gigi, in addition to her sister Bella and brother Anwar, boasts two half-sisters on her father’s side and five (!) on her stepfather’s side.
Gigi loves sports. As a schoolgirl, she played volleyball and even qualified for the Youth Olympic Games. In addition, she has been a keen rider and a fan of equestrian sports since childhood.
For the last two years, Gigi has been combining work with study: she is a student in the department of criminal psychology at one of the universities in New York. In her opinion, the everyday scenario “up to 25 years - a model, then a wife and housewife” is not normal. “Who knows, I might end up being a fact checker for CSI,” she says (referring to her fact-checking job for the hit TV series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”).
She starred in videos for Miguel, Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, Cody Simpson and Zayn Malik. Simpson is Gigi's ex-boyfriend, their romance lasted a year and ended last May. Ex-One Direction member Malik is Gigi's current boyfriend. Their relationship began in November and now the couple is one of the most sought after by glossy media and tabloids. Hadid appeared in the video for Zayn's debut solo single Pillowtalk. Released at the end of January, the video has already collected more than 371 million views in three months.
Today marks the 78th birthday of Mohammed Hadid, a businessman known to the masses primarily for his children. InStyle has collected facts from the life of this extraordinary and bright man.
Gigi, Mohammed and Bella Hadid
Hadid's father, Anwar, was a teacher, then began collaborating with the Voice of America radio station. The family often changed their place of residence (Syria, Tunisia, Greece) and eventually moved to Washington. There, Hadid Sr. continued to work for the Voice of America as a journalist, editor and translator. Mohammed was 14 years old when he moved to the States.
He was a participant in the reality shows “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” and “Second Wives Club.”
Last year, Hadid got into trouble when 23-year-old model Miranda V accused him of violence. According to V, the businessman invited her to a business breakfast and sexually assaulted her.

Mohammed had another problem with the law that same year. The court sentenced him to 200 hours of community service and a fine (however modest) for violations during the construction of a mansion in the Bel Air area.
Hadid is known as a developer, but he wasn't always involved in real estate. Mohammed's first business project was a nightclub, which he opened on the Greek island of Rhodes. Next, he undertook to import British Oldtimers (classic cars) into the United States.
Hadid got into the development business through the construction of business centers in Washington. Ten years later, he moved to Aspen - he built The Ritz-Carlton there, invested in several other high-profile projects and, overall, was very successful.
In the late 1980s, Hadid faced Donald Trump in business and won. The fight took place in the same Aspen, where Trump wanted to buy the land and begin his construction, but it was Mohammed who bypassed him. Despite legal challenges from Trump, that victory allowed Hadid to become the No. 1 player in the real estate industry.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Hadid settled in Los Angeles and became one of the leading developers in Beverly Hills. His most expensive project is Palazzo di Amore, worth $195 million. Mohammed actively worked for celebrities: Michael Jackson spent his last years in the estate built by Hadid’s company. However, not everything went smoothly. In 2012, Sylvester Stallone sued the developer, accusing him of fraud, violation of an oral contract, and negligence. However, the lawsuit was settled, and today Hadid and Stallone get along quite well.
Hadid's first wife was Mary Butler. This marriage ended in 1992. The former spouses have two daughters - Mariel and Alana. Two years later, Mohammed married again - to Yolanda van der Herik, who took his last name. The couple separated in 2000. All of Hadid's children communicate well.

In 2014, Hadid met Shiva Safai in a Los Angeles restaurant. Soon the couple began an affair, and in 2017, Hadid and Safai announced their engagement.

Shiva is 31 years younger than Mohammed, she is a journalist and model, worked on television, and also did interior design. By the way, Safay has almost caught up with Hadid in terms of the number of followers on Instagram: 774,000 versus 870,000.
In 1992, he actually participated in the Winter Olympics - he competed for Jordan in speed skiing and was the only representative of this country. He did not achieve success, but the fact itself speaks volumes - especially since at that time Hadid was already 43.
Mohammed is a certified pilot; regularly takes the helm.
Hadid is also an artist who prefers abstract expressionism. In 2011, he even opened a personal gallery in Beverly Hills, where he presents not only his works, but also other little-known artists.
Mohammed is friends - just friends - with many famous people. Among his friends are Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, Guess co-founder Paul Marciano, actors Woody Harrelson and Jim Carrey.
Mohammed is very friendly with his children. And he is not shy about showing his father’s feelings. Last year, he responded to Gigi’s 22nd birthday with as many as seven posts on Instagram - with childhood and teenage photos of his daughter, and the last post was a touching video with a pair of swans and a little chick. However, more exotic emotions also happen. Recently, on the same Instagram, Mohammed showed off a Birkin bag decorated with a drawing of the eye of his other daughter, Bella.
Real Estate Tycoon Mohammed Hadid, father of model Gigi Hadid, has been living in a grand estate in Bel Air, Los Angeles for several years. There is no doubt that Jidi Hadid also lived there for some time. The level of luxury is off the charts. Price for Mohammed Hadid's house is also impressive - $85 million.
The home is so luxurious that it has its own name and music website, not to mention a grand ballroom and a 5,000-bottle wine cellar. Name of the estate Le Belvedere or in the original Le Belvédère. The estate was built by Mohammed Hadid himself, Gigi's father. In 2010, he sold the estate to a foreign buyer for $50 million, but the new owner never moved here. Since then, Mohammed Hadid has lived here, renting it from the new owner.
Mohammed Hadid's Bel Air home- This is an example of oriental luxury. It has 10 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a ballroom, an indoor pool and a banquet hall for 200 - 250 people. It also has a Moroccan hall, an elevator, a Turkish bath, a cinema, a swan pond and rose gardens. There is a separate security house on the territory, and the garage can accommodate several limousines.
