5 times Gigi Hadid made us wish we were part of her famous family

As the supermodel turns 25 on April 23, we look back at some of the heartwarming family moments she has shared with her fans, only adding to her popularity
As Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford were to the 1990s, so is Gigi Hadid to the 2010s. The California-born supermodel has become the face of a generation, embodying the essence of the millennial-cum-Gen Z zeitgeist.
In just a few years, Hadid has secured her spot as arguably the most high-profile, sought-after model on the planet. Her stunning good looks and chic sensibility have made her the darling of the fashion world, additionally helping her garner a massive fan base and global following.
And while most of Gigi’s worldwide appeal is doubtlessly due to her classic beauty and impressive modelling prowess, her close and loving relationships with her famous family members leave us feeling equally enamoured with her life and lifestyle.
So, to celebrate the supermodel’s upcoming 25th birthday this month – on April 23 – we’re highlighting five times Gigi and her extended clan gave us the warm and fuzzy feels.
Yolanda, adopt us, please!
Before becoming a fashion icon, Gigi’s major introduction to the world was as a peripheral character on the popular reality series, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Hadid’s mum and former model herself, Yolanda, was one of the series’ main stars, featuring in seasons three through six. Yolanda shared much of her personal life with the show’s viewers, introducing her three beautiful (and now world-famous) children, Gigi the eldest.
One heart-warming mother-daughter moment was when Gigi left home in LA to pursue her career in New York and Yolanda was there alongside to support and help her settle into her new life out of the nest.
