Aydan Nix's subtle tribute to her sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid
Share this @internewscast.com

Ayden Nix has been forging connections with her long-lost sisters, Gigi and Bella Hadid. Recently, the 23-year-old fashion school alum subtly honored her family heritage during her college graduation ceremony earlier this month.

While attending her commencement at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan on May 16, Nix donned a black and white keffiyeh scarf. This traditional garment paid tribute to her father’s Palestinian roots.

The Daily Mail captured Nix at the ceremony, proudly posing for photos and celebrating with her friends at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. 

She made the fashion statement two weeks before the Daily Mail exclusively revealed that Nix’s biological dad is Mohamed Hadid.

The multi-millionaire real estate developer had a brief relationship with her mother, Terri Hatfield Dull in 2000. 

Mohamed’s daughters have previously been seen wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Middle Eastern headscarf that has come to embody Palestinian pride and resilience.

In 2024, Bella wore a keffiyeh inspired dress to honor her homeland — and to protest the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Aydan Nix, revealed by Daily Mail to be Gigi and Bella Hadid's half-sister, wore a black and white keffiyeh scarf to her graduation from the Parsons School of Design earlier this month

The sisters have publicly voiced concerns on social media about the conditions on the Gaza strip, and donated a million dollars to support Palestinian families affected by the conflict. 

Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the Keffiyeh has gained popularity among pro-Palestinian activists; it is widely considered to be an symbol of solidarity with Palestine in their fight against Israel. 

Nix realized that she was part of the Hadid clan when she took a DNA test after the death of the man who had raised her as her dad. 

She then learned that her biological father was Mohamed. 

For the past two years, Nix has gotten closer with her famous family — while remaining close to her mom. 

While Nix has often been photographed with her famous sisters, it wasn’t publicly revealed that they were blood relatives until last week.  

‘We first connected in late 2023, and from that moment on, we’ve embraced Aydan with open arms,’ Bella and Gigi Hadid told the Daily Mail on Thursday. 

‘She’s spent time with all of us, including our dad, and we’ve cherished this unexpected and beautiful addition to our family.

‘As siblings, we’ve had many open and loving conversations— with Aydan included —about how to support and protect her.

‘Aydan and her family value their privacy, and we fully respect that. We kindly ask others to do the same and honor her wish and right to her anonymity as she continues her life as a young woman in New York.’

Nix’s newfound family has placed her into a complex Hollywood genealogy web. 

Bella and Gigi’s mom, Real Housewives alum Yolanda Hadid, was married to composer David Foster from 2011 to 2017. 

Foster, 75, was previously married to Linda Thompson, who has two famous sons — Brody Jenner and Brandon Jenner — with ex Caitlyn Jenner. 

But a family source tells the Daily Mail that Nix is uninterested in the family complexity, and merely wants to have a relationship with her father and siblings. 

‘She is happy to have an additional family,’ says a relative, ‘and she has her original family who is there for her. 

‘She knows she is loved very, very much.’
