Why the Hadid's Are the New "It" Family

In Hollywood, there's always a famous family you wish you were apart of. In 2015, that family is the Hadid clan.

Why the Hadid's Are the New "It" Family

If we're being honest, the Kardashian/Jenner family is cool and all but they're so last year. Yeah, yeah, we all love to hate them, but they got old quick.

Enter the Hadid family, the absolute coolest celebrity clan gaining major fame these days. They're made up of models, music producers/songwriters and a Real Housewife who is actually a pretty decent human. They're all beautiful, humble and extremely successful in their industries. With every bit of information I learn about the Hadids, the more I want to send adoption papers to their home.

Let's start with the matriarch of the house, Yolanda Hadid Foster.

Yolanda is mostly known for being a cast member of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but can also be credited for being a professional model and interior designer. She is arguably the most sane woman on RHOBW, so you know she's something special. When she was 16, she got signed to Ford Models and modeled in shows in major cities across the world. After 15 years of modeling, Yolanda settled down and had three children with now ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid. She remarried to David Foster in 2011.

Wow, those names sound familiar, huh?

David Foster is a Canadian musician, producer, songwriter, arranger and composer. He is responsible for basically every hit song to have ever hit the wavelengths. Foster has won 16 Grammys and has been nominated 47 times. 47 TIMES. He is the chairman of Verve Music Group and is worth an estimated $30 million. 

Oh, and Mohamed Hadid is a real estate developer with a net-worth of $100 million. He's the father of Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid. So, birthdays must be fun for the kids. 

Ah, the kids. Let's talk about these beautiful humans.

By now, every girl and nearly every guy has heard of 19-year-old Jelena "Gigi" Hadid. Since being signed to IMG Models in 2011, the stunning blonde with bedroom eyes has had her face all over the runways and recently signed a deal with Maybelline cosmetics. After her gig being the face of Guess Jeans in 2012, Gigi was named one of 12 rookies in Sports Illustrated annual issue this year, where she had her own spread. She has walked in the 2015 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week this past month. On top of currently being one of the fastest rising supermodels, she has impeccable style, a cool personality and is dating singer Cody Simpson. I wouldn't hate to be Gigi. 

Then, we have the middle child, Isabella "Bella" Hadid. The 18-year-old is following in big sister Gigi's steps and pursuing a modeling career as well. The dark-haired beauty is also signed to IMG Models (casual thing in the Hadid house, clearly). Bella just made her debut into the runway world in 2015's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where she walked for Tom Ford, alongside her big sis. Although Bella is now gaining some buzz, she already has quite the audience watching her with 500,000 followers on Instagram. This year, keep an eye out for the other half of the dynamic Hadid sister act. 

Of course, there a secret little weapon hiding amongst the fam. There's oldest Gigi, middle child Bella, and last but not least, little brother Anwar. The handsome 16-year-old is a big supporter of his older sisters, who he's super close with. He's always side by side with his family members in photos and red carpet events. According to Yolanda's personal website, Anwar has a similar love of architecture like his father. Considering the mentor the youngest Hadid has in that department, he could be on to big, big things. We're keeping an eye out for you, Anwar!

If you don't want to be a Hadid after this, you probably weren't reading close enough. Hadid > Kardashian. Case closed.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
