Jiji and Bella Hadid There are good reasons to wait to introduce the world to their half-sister Aiden Knicks.
“Bella, Gigi and Anwar have met Aiden and have been in touch with her for about a year and a half,” a source told the US Weekly. “They welcomed her with open arms and completely embraced her as a sibling.”
Insiders pointed out that learning that they had a relationship with the 23-year-old Knicks was “a complete shock to the whole family.” Although Hadids has known the Knicks over the past year, they want to wait before introducing her to the public.
“They kept the news secret for Aiden’s privacy,” the source explained. “The Hadid sisters and Anwar tried not to make a judgment on the situation.”
Initially, Gigi, 30, Bella, 28, and Anwar, 25, had “a lot of problems”, but they remained “positive” and “open minds.”
“The family wanted to keep things private until Aiden was ready. Iggi and Bella gave her space, but it was always warm, and if she wanted to get in touch with her or meet them, she was there,” the source said. “They don’t meet often and don’t spend a lot of time together. Aiden has a lot in common with Bella and Gigi, who have connected in New York City and the fashion world. She often looks at the girls.”
Gigi and Bella revealed on Thursday, May 29 that they learned about their half-sister around their father after Nix received a family ancestral DNA test.
“Twenty years ago, our father, though single, had a brief relationship that led to pregnancy. Aydan was born and raised in Florida, grew up with her loving man until she died suddenly at the age of 19,” Daily Mail. “After his death, she decided to do genetic testing out of curiosity, which is how she found connections with our biological ones. We first made connections in late 2023 and from that moment on, we’ve embraced Aydan with open arms.”
