Gigi Hadid as a child
Today, the former spouses maintain good relations. Mom remarried the famous music producer David Foster, who collaborated with such stars as John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, and won the Grammy Award 14 times.
At the end of 2015, Yolanda and David separated. Three years earlier, the woman was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which was severe. The husband warmly supported his wife, but in the end the relationship still cracked, and the couple divorced in 2021.
Yolanda has reverted to Hadid as her children's surname. Today, the former model copes with the disease and conducts social activities to combat this disease. In 2021, a woman’s book Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease was published.
Gigi Hadid attended high school in Malibu, where, in addition to studying, she devoted a lot of time to sports. The girl became the captain of the volleyball team and was a successful equestrian. After receiving her GED, Hadid moved to New York and entered the local New School University. She decided to get an education in forensic psychology.
Film roles
The girl quickly began acting in commercials, then in television shows. She grew up to make her own cameos, playing herself in films about the modeling business.
Personal life
The name Gigi Hadid has quite a lot of weight in society, so it’s not surprising that many young people pay attention to her.
The girl briefly dated British actor Daniel Sharman, American singer Nick Jonas and Patrick Uretz, who is not a public figure. The model developed a longer relationship with Australian singer Cody Simpson: the couple dated for almost 2 years.
After breaking up with Cody, British racing driver Lewis Hamilton appeared in Gigi Hadid's life, followed by the brother of one of her previous boyfriends, Joe Jonas. By the way, both of Gigi’s boyfriends, Joe and Nick, sing in the same pop group, the Jonas Brothers.
The next boyfriend of the recognized beauty was the former vocalist of the famous group One Direction Zayn Malik. They started an affair in November 2015. The celebrities met at the birthday party of model Kendall Jenner.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik
There were rumors that Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik had separated, but the stars themselves did not comment on this information, so they officially continued to be considered a couple.
In 2021, the girl found herself at the center of a scandal. Then Jelena became the host of the American Music Awards, where she allowed herself to parody the future first lady of the United States Melania Trump.
In her speech, the girl demonstrated the Slavic accent of President Donald Trump’s wife and hinted at the woman’s limited education.
Although Gigi Hadid's parody was quite similar, the public was largely outraged by the young model's act against a woman old enough to be her mother. The press was unable to find out how Melania Trump reacted to Gigi’s behavior, but the girl made a public apology to her.

Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella Hadid
In the same year, information appeared that Zayn proposed marriage to his beloved, but the girl refused the young man. Gigi is not yet ready for such a step and does not want to rush.
In 2021, the Network was filled with a wave of rumors that the model was pregnant from Zayn Malik. These speculations were fueled by a comment from her mother under Hadid’s photo on Instagram. One website even quoted Yolanda Hadid:
“I will be proud to become a grandmother in the next 8 months... Life is amazing.”
Later, the woman stated that her daughter was not expecting a child, and if this were so, the mother would be the first to know about it. Fans of the couple decided that the rumor was either a hoax, or the comment turned out to be fake, or Gigi was really pregnant, but was hiding it for now. In any case, the couple never had a baby.

Gigi Hadid and her mother
In March 2021, it became known that Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik broke off their relationship. The reason for the separation was the busy work schedules of both, which prevented the couple from developing their romance. The stars' decision was mutual; they parted as friends and support each other.
However, a month later, the paparazzi “caught” the couple kissing on the street of New York. The “investigators” did not stop there and continued to monitor the lovers. The next day, they captured Gigi entering her apartment. And after some time, Malik arrived to his beloved. In June, the couple officially announced the resumption of their relationship, after which uncertainty again set in in the personal lives of the young people.
In 2021, the supermodel's new chosen one is Tyler Cameron. The young man participated in the show “The Bachelorette,” in which Gigi watched with interest.
The girl noticed a handsome young man who was unlucky enough to build a relationship with the heroine of the program, Hannah Brown. The young people contacted each other through social networks and then met in real life. The couple dated for 2 months, after which Hadid decided to stop communicating.

Gigi Hadid in her youth
In an interview, Gigi's sister Bella Hadid shared that she is proud to be a Muslim. And Jelena once talked about the family’s religion and noted that they were Catholics.
Bella also once said that the public loves her sister for her appearance, but few people know how cheerful Gigi’s character is. In addition, the girl is very sincere.
In addition to family ties, Gigi and Bella share a strong friendship. The sisters are friends with singer Dua Lipa, who became their brother's girlfriend. Hadid's company included Selena Gomez until she started an affair with Bella's ex-boyfriend The Weeknd. Also a close friend of the girls is Hailey Baldwin, the wife of Justin Bieber.
Gigi Hadid's earnings are $9.5 million. This is one and a half times more than her sister Bella earns. But the difference in income does not affect the relationship of the models.

In the spring of 2021, it became known that Gigi Hadid was expecting her first child. TMZ and Entertainment Tonight reported the news. The father of the model's unborn child is Zayn Malik. The girl recovered, which her fans could not help but notice, but the future parents did not comment on the news. The couple had a daughter in September. The girl was named Hay, probably in honor of Gigi's grandmother, whose name is Hairiya.
Modeling career
Gigi Hadid's career growth began in early childhood, when she was 2 years old. Already at that tender age, the girl advertised clothes from the Baby Guess collection.
When it was time to go to school, the parents insisted that their daughter concentrate on her lessons, and temporarily the profession of a fashion model was over. And at the age of 17, Gigi signed a contract with one of the best modeling agencies, IMG Models, and returned to business.
In her early youth, Gigi was the face of the brands Guess and Maybelline, Chanel and Max Mara, Tommy Hilfiger and others, and in December 2015 she made her debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The girl also tried herself as a catwalk model at New York Fashion Week; Hadid’s height allows her to do so.

Gigi Hadid without makeup
In 2021, experts traced the beauty evolution of Gigi Hadid's style. In her teenage years, they noted the girl’s chubby cheeks and constant long hair. Then more cosmetics appeared on the model’s face - bright lipstick, false eyelashes, luminizer.
The model tries to share her beauty secrets with her fans. In an interview, the girl states that she does not wash her hair every day, gets rid of acne with toothpaste, and generously moisturizes her skin when using a lot of makeup.
For her love of changing her hairstyles, Gigi Hadid was nicknamed the chameleon girl. She appeared before the public as a blonde and a brunette, with long flowing hair and a bun gathered at the top of her head. Among the model's favorite hairstyles are a ponytail and ultra-long braids in the style of Rapunzel.
Plastic surgery
Gigi Hadid (a swimsuit model with one of her boyfriends who graced Mario Testino's photo project) began her career at a very young age and gradually grew up from an angular, cheerful teenager into a luxurious beauty, considered one of the sexiest women on the planet.
Photos of Gigi Hadid before and after facial plastic surgery
Experts who closely monitor changes in the star’s appearance are confident that the model’s beauty is largely due to the plastic surgeon who expertly worked on Gigi’s face.
Eyelids
By nature, Gigi has a slightly drooping upper eyelid over her eyes, which was corrected by blepharoplasty, which corrected the skin and made her eyes more open.
Cheekbones
Having a naturally round face with pronounced apples, the model, with the help of a surgeon, removed Bisha's lumps, making her cheekbones more elongated and aristocratic, and also performed an endoscopic forehead lift.
Lips
The introduction of fillers with hyaluronic acid made it possible not only to increase the shape of the lips and give them sensuality, but also to correct the model’s slightly protruding chin.
Hair
Experts believe that in order to elongate the shape of her forehead, Gigi surgically raised her hairline, which slightly sharpened her naturally round face.
Gigi Hadid now
Gigi is now one of the highest paid supermodels in the world. In January 2021, together with her sister Bella, as well as models Irina Shayk, Yasmine Le Bon, Karlie Kloss, she took part in the latest couture show of Jean-Paul Gaultier. Previously, the Hadid sisters took part in the Ralph Lauren, CR Runway x LuisaViaRoma 90th Anniversary Show shows.
In 2021, at the Coachella festival, the model became the main character of the gossip column. The girl showed off luxurious outfits that did not hide Gigi’s most important asset – her legs. The supermodel also paraded in a bright swimsuit, which did not leave the audience indifferent.
In addition, Gigi became a guest at a party dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld. Carine Roitfeld, Kaia Gerber and others attended the event along with the supermodel.
The star's name also appeared in the Harvey Weinstein case. In January 2021, the girl was officially invited to the jury for the trial regarding the accusation of harassment against a film producer. In a conversation with the judge, the supermodel said that she is closely acquainted with Salma Hayek and Cara Delevingne, the injured party, but this will not affect Gigi’s objectivity.
