Gigi Hadid’s modeling career began at the age of 2 after she was discovered by Paul Marciano, founder of the Guess brand. He offered to take promotional photos for Gigi and paid him handsomely. From there, she became a model for Guess and carried out promotional campaigns for this brand.

However, Gigi Hadid did not choose to develop but paused her child modeling career and focused on studying. During this time, the beauty had intended to pursue a career as an athlete. While studying at school, Gigi Hadid was a potential volleyball player on the school club team. She once intended to participate in the Olympics, but not long after, Gigi returned to her childhood path.

In 2011, Gigi Hadid returned to being a model and was chosen as the representative face of Guess in 2012. Thanks to this, her image appeared and became famous everywhere. It is the premise for a solid supermodel career in the future. At the age of 17, she officially became a model of the prestigious IMG Models management company.

Initially, Gigi Hadid was not taken seriously by many people. They believe that the careers of Gigi Hadid and her younger sister Bella Hadid do not face any obstacles just because her mother is a supermodel with wide connections in the world. But Gigi doesn’t care about her mother’s reputation. She developed on her own and became one of the most expensive supermodels on the planet today.

After becoming an exclusive model, in February 2014, Gigi Hadid participated in New York Fashion Week for the first time. In July of the same year, she continued to walk on the runway in the fall-winter design of designer Tom Ford. Through her efforts, Gigi has entered the top 50 model rankings on models.com.

In January 2015, the beauty won the title of “Model of the Year” in Daily Front Row. At the same time, she was chosen as the brand ambassador for the famous cosmetics company Maybelline.

Despite her fame, Gigi is still criticized many times for her body. She was concerned by a section of netizens who condemned her food problems and severely disciplined herself. But few people know that the reason is because Gigi once had difficulty with her health. She once suffered from thyroiditis, which made her unable to control her weight. It took a long journey for Gigi to be as balanced as she is now.

At the end of 2015, Gigi Hadid successfully walked on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway. This is considered a big step forward for Gigi Hadid. At only 20 years old, she has conquered this world-class catwalk.

After the show, Gigi Hadid’s name was covered in the media. She is noticed by many big brands. The beauty was continuously invited to perform for many top fashion houses such as Versace, Elie Saab, Chanel, Balmain, Miu Miu, Tommy Hilfiger… just in 2016.

Up to now, Gigi Hadid has appeared in hundreds of prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Dazed, W Magazaine, CR Fashion Book…

Along with her modeling career, Gigi Hadid once registered to study criminal psychology at New York University. However, because she was too busy with advertising and fashion contracts, she had to drop her studies.

The beauty also revealed her passion for cooking and playing sports. She was once praised by super chef Gordon Ramsay. Gigi Hadid even won an episode of Celebrity Masterchef in 2016.

Besides her career, the public is especially interested in the private life of the 27-year-old model.

The beauty is known to be close friends with Hollywood supermodel, Kendall Jenner. She is also a member of Taylor Swift’s close circle of famous friends. Gigi Hadid even appeared in several music videos of the “country music princess”.

In 2015, Gigi was involved in a major scandal in her career, related to suspicions of her using banned substances. Because of this incomprehensible moment, Gigi almost lost her aura and her career was at its peak. Immediately after the scandal, the female model spoke up to correct the rumors that caused the controversy. She affirmed the fact that she never touched banned substances.

She is a beautiful model, sweet and extremely talented. So Gigi’s personal life is always the main topic of the press. Gigi was in a relationship and dated singer Cody Simpson for two years (2013 – 2015). After the breakup, the Australian singer even admitted that he still had feelings for his ex.

After breaking up with Cody, Gigi Hadid had brief romances for several months with Teen Wolf star Daniel Sharman and Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton. The story of Gigi dating famous racer Lewis also caused a lot of media ink when the two had a huge age difference. At that time, Lewis was 30 years old and Gigi had just turned 19.

Then in June 2015, this beautiful model continued to date fellow singer Joe Jonas, who was once the boyfriend of singer Taylor Swift. However, after only half a year of love, this famous couple officially broke up because their work schedules were too busy.

In August 2019, Gigi Hadid was also caught up in dating rumors with Bacharlotte runner-up Tyler Cameron. Fans spotted Tyler leaving Gigi’s New York apartment several times, and they even noticed that Gigi was wearing the male model’s clothes. However, Gigi and Tyler officially broke up in October.

In 2016, she started dating handsome singer Zayn Malik. As a talented couple, Gigi and Zayn appeared together in Vogue magazine in 2017. After many years of courtship, the couple had their first sweet fruit, a handsome son named Khai Hadid Malik. Because I want to keep my child’s private life. Stay away from social networks, which are most naturally developed. So until now, Gigi’s son’s image and face are still a question mark. The female supermodel is very careful in protecting and raising her children.

At the end of 2021, fans of Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik were surprised by the news that the couple had officially gone their separate ways. The reason is said to be that the former One Direction member had an affair and had a conflict with his mother-in-law.

Gigi Hadid is also said to have an ambiguous relationship with flower actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Pagesix’s source said they have feelings for each other but don’t want to commit or get serious. According to Us Weekly, the couple broke up largely due to Hadid’s decision because her priority was her daughter and the difference in their lifestyles.

Gigi Hadid is considered an exception to Leonardo DiCaprio. Because he is famous for being a “lady killer”, and has an unwritten rule of only dating women 25 years old or younger, while Gigi Hadid is 27 years old. Male actors tend to break up with their lovers when they pass that age milestone.
