In a moment that feels straight out of a satirical comedy sketch, the internet is having a field day over the Hadid family’s latest announcement—and not just because it’s celebrity news gold.
Fans of HBO Max’s cult comedy The Other Two were quick to point out an eerily on-the-nose scene from the show that now feels less like fiction and more like prophecy. In the episode, Wanda Sykes’ character delivers a perfectly absurd line:
“Apparently there’s a third one whose features hadn’t settled in until now. And they’re having a first-look party of her face and body for industry insiders.”

Fast forward to May 2025, and Gigi and Bella Hadid have introduced their half-sister Aydan Nix to the world—prompting fans to joke that the series may have had a crystal ball.
The Real-Life ‘First Look Party’? Meet Aydan Nix
While there was no literal “first-look party,” Gigi and Bella did release a joint public statement with The Daily Mail confirming the existence of their 23-year-old half-sister, Aydan Nix. According to the sisters, Aydan recently discovered her biological connection to the Hadid family through an at-home DNA test taken out of curiosity.
“Over 20 years ago, our dad, while single, had a brief relationship that led to a pregnancy,” the statement read, referring to Mohamed Hadid’s romance with Terri Hatfield Dull after his 2000 divorce from Yolanda Hadid. Aydan, who was raised in Orlando, Florida, believed the man she knew as her father was her biological dad—until his sudden passing when she was 19.
The DNA test changed everything, revealing a link to one of the most famous modeling dynasties in the world.

From Domino’s Deliveries to Parsons Graduate
But Aydan wasn’t plucked from obscurity to join the Hadids in a Vogue spread. She was already carving her own path. Much like her sisters, she developed a passion for fashion early on, obsessed with flipping through her mom’s vintage Vogue issues. She worked part-time jobs as a teen, including delivering pizzas for Domino’s, before moving to New York to attend Parsons School of Design.
Her LinkedIn reads like a fashion industry resume on the rise: photo shoot directing, showroom management, red carpet assisting, and even styling PR campaigns. “I’ve had the opportunity to assist stylists on high-profile red carpet events and editorial shoots,” she wrote. “My background gives me a holistic view of the fashion industry.”
Even without knowing her family connection, Aydan was already immersed in the same creative world.
A Private Bond Years in the Making
Although the Hadids only made the news public recently, insiders say Aydan has been in touch with Gigi, Bella, and their brother Anwar for over a year and a half.
“They have welcomed her with open arms and are fully embracing her as their sibling,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that the discovery was a “complete shock to the whole family.”
Initially, the siblings had “a lot of questions,” but chose to keep the situation private until Aydan felt comfortable. The Hadid sisters reportedly bonded with her over fashion and life in New York, though they still maintain a low-key relationship.

“She looks up to the girls a lot,” the source added.
Life Imitates Art—Sort Of
What’s making the story resonate even more is its near-perfect match with The Other Two’s satirical commentary on the fashion industry’s obsession with image, timing, and buzz. Wanda Sykes’ line about unveiling a new Hadid because “her features hadn’t settled in,” was clearly meant as a joke. But in light of real events, the parallels feel uncannily sharp.

Of course, there was no curated media debut or red carpet rollout for Aydan. In fact, Gigi and Bella stressed that Aydan values her privacy and has no current plans to step into the spotlight. “We’ve had many open and loving conversations, with Aydan included, about how to support and protect her,” the sisters said in their statement.
But for internet sleuths and comedy lovers, the moment feels like a perfect blend of Hollywood coincidence and pop culture déjà vu.
