Meet Gigi and Bella Hadid’s lesser-known half-sister, Marielle Hadid: the eldest child of Mohamed Hadid is an interior designer, mum of 2, and was spotted with Gigi at a Taylor Swift concert last year
Fashion is clearly in the Hadid family’s DNA – from matriarch Yolanda and her daughters Gigi and Bella and son Anwar, to the trio’s older half-sis, Alana Hadid.

Butler was Mohamed’s first wife before Yolanda. As many of us already know, Mohamed and Yolanda welcomed three children together who hardly need an introduction – Gigi, 29, Bella, 27, and Anwar, 25.
She lives in Los Angeles

According to Marielle’s website, she is based in Los Angeles, California. According to Today, she’s a Swiftie because she went to one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concerts in Santa Clara with half sister Gigi Hadid last July. “Shimmer,” she captioned a selfie with her supermodel sibling – who’s dating Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper – at the event.

As reported in Grazia Malaysia, Marielle has two children, Coco and Colton. Marielle’s dad Mohamed appears to be a doting grandpa too. In 2016, he shared a photo of Colton, writing, “Colton [the] cutest kid on earth @mariellemama. Love this little boy.” It’s unclear if Marielle is currently in a relationship, but People magazine writes that she was previously seeing a man called Jack Halloran.
