How Old Is Supermodel Gigi Hadid?

Sure, fashion-industry veterans will probably roll their eyes at Gigi Hadid’s “supermodel” title, but she is known for modeling worldwide. On top of that, she was named International Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2016. And she’s also an Instagram “it-girl.”

With all these accomplishments, it’s obvious why people are asking for Gigi Hadid’s real age. If you’ve been wondering the same thing, then you’ve come to the right place.

ENTITY is here to tell you how old the model is and what she’s accomplished so far.

1 First things first: Her actual age.

Gigi Hadid is 22 years old. The model’s birthday is April 23, 1995, which, in astrology, means she is the Earth sign Taurus.

2 As previously mentioned, she’s old enough to be international model of the year for 2016.

Hadid is a Victoria’s Secret PINK model, she is the face of Maybelline Cosmetics and Sport’s Illustrated has featured her in a swimsuit issue. She also models for Guess and has graced the cover of Vogue. On top of that, the IMG model starred in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video.

It’s no wonder the model was named “International Model of the Year” at the 2016 Fashion Awards. This must have been kind of awkward in her social circle, though, because she beat out sister Bella Hadid and best friend Kendall Jenner for the title.

To Gigi Hadid, age is not a factor for online success. While she may only follow 816 users on Instagram, 35 million users follow her.

So, she can attribute a good deal of her fame to her social media accounts.

She not only branded herself as the relatable girl-next-door, she also uses her page for a different kind of branding: Brand Representation. Companies pay this beauty the big bucks to endorse their products on her social media accounts.

4 She’s old enough to stand up for what she believes in politically.

Both of Gigi Hadid’s parents immigrated to the United States. Her mother came from the Netherlands and her father was born in Nazareth and is of Palestinian descent. Her father and boyfriend, Zayn Malik, are also both Muslim.

So, it’s no surprise that Gigi Hadid feels strongly about the comments President Trump has made in regard to immigration, which many have slammed as racist.

She took to the New York City streets during the #NoBanNoWall march to vocalize her opinions. According to the sign she held during the protest, race and religion don’t matter because we are all human.

5 She’s old enough to date former One Direction singer Zayn Malik.

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have been dating for over a year and he absolutely adores her. He called her his everything in a birthday post and he’s also gushed about her to Elle UK.

“She’s super intelligent. I think that’s why it works so well,” he said in an interview. “And we do the same type of job, so we get that with each other.”

Shiva Safai, Gigi’s dad’s soon-to-be second wife, said the family loves their relationship. Safai said the family just wants to see Gigi happy.

“He’s a great guy and she’s a very smart girl and she’s amazing,” she said in an interview with ENews. “They have a great relationship.”
