Who is older than Gigi or Bella. Yolanda Hadid: the difficult story of a strong woman's life. Gigi Hadid now
Today, when the name Hadid is on everyone's lips, few people will think about what efforts it once cost a young single woman to find her place in the fashion industry, and then through years of searching for love and harmony, having gone through trials and a serious illness, to make this surname common noun. I'm talking about a woman who not only managed to fulfill herself in life, but also managed to make her children the most sought-after models of our time. All this about the gorgeous Yolanda Hadid.
You may have heard this name before, because her two daughters, 20-year-old Bella and 22-year-old Gigi, constantly appear on the covers of the top fashion magazines and boldly defile at all kinds of shows, and not so long ago, both officially became "angels" Victoria's Secret . Needless to say, it was Yolanda who did everything to make the girls become real stars.
Yolanda Van der Herik (maiden name) was born on January 11, 1964 in the Netherlands. The blond girl has always attracted people's attention.- from a very early age it was obvious that Yolanda would drive men crazy with her beauty. But then no one even imagined that she would become a world-famous model.. She and her brother grew up in a fairly prosperous family, and it seemed to the girl that it would always be like this. Yolanda's happy childhood ended very early– when the girl was only 7 years old,her father died in a car accident. For many years after that, she will unsuccessfully look for a man who can become a stone wall for her, such as her father once was, but instead she herself will become strong and strong-willed.
A happy accident brought her into the fashion industry, and all the same happy accident made her famous. At the show of a Dutch designer (where, by the way, Yolanda also got completely unintentionally), she was noticed by the owner of one of the largest and most successful modeling agencies in the world, Ford Models, Eileen Ford. Young Yolanda signed her first contract with the agency and after that her life changed forever: she worked in the modeling business for more than 15 years, participating in advertising photo shoots and shows of the best fashion housesParis, Milan and New York.
At 31, Yolanda finds for the first time a man who can make her happy and make her quit her career for the sake of family happiness.– Palestinian-born businessman Mohamed Hadid courted persistently and beautifully. She regains a home and everything that she secretly dreamed of all these years. After the wedding, the couple moves to build a family nest in Los Angeles. In 1995, they have baby Gilena Noora (now known as Gigi Hadid), a year later- Bella, and in 1999, the long-awaited son Anwar, whose appearance was overshadowed by a serious birth injury. Yolanda needed a long recovery period so that she could move fully again. In those difficult days, she was often visited by thoughts that she would no longer be able to walk, but Yolanda did not know how to give up, and after some time the rehabilitation course began to give results.

The upbringing of children, as well as their future career, fell entirely on the shoulders of Yolanda, but she was only" behind ". This does not mean that Mohamed Hadid was a bad father, not at all, but the work absorbed almost all of his time. The lack of attention from her husband, which Yolanda so desperately needed, she fully compensated for with her children. However, their marriage to Mohamed eventually collapsed anyway, and in 2000 the couple officially divorced.

After the divorce, Yolanda decides to start a new life in a new place and moves to Montecito with her children. Here, thanks to the connections and acquaintances that appeared over the long years of working as a model and marriage to a multimillionaire, she was able to establish her own business. Yolanda becomes an interior designer and once again proves to fate that she is not so easy to break. A few years later, Yolanda falls in love again. - this time, the musician and producer David Foster becomes her chosen one, whom she soon marries. Their marriage did not last long, only four years. After the divorce, Yolanda took back her first husband's surname. They were a family: her, Gigi, Bella and Anwar. That is why the woman decided that she should have a common surname with her children. In 2012, Yolanda was diagnosed with Lyme disease in a severe form, with which she fights even more fiercely than with all the troubles she has gone through in her life, because she has a goal - to put her children on their feet, teach them to be as strong as she is. , to convey her experience and knowledge, which were given to her so hard. Apparently, Yolanda fully managed to achieve her goal - her whole family is at the peak of popularity. But she is not going to stop there. At 51, Yolanda became the star of a popular reality show.« The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills» (a show about the influential society ladies of America). Of all the participants in the TV show, it is she who is the main favorite of the audience and seems to enjoy the attention of the public even more than in her youth.

Parents always treated Bella with love, even despite her antics. Repeatedly in an interview, the model said that she was grateful to her parents for such an upbringing.

Today marks the 78th anniversary of Mohamed Hadid, a businessman known to the mass public primarily for his children. InStyle collected facts from the life of this outstanding and bright person.
Gigi, Mohamed and Bella Hadid
Hadid's father, Anwar, was a teacher, then began to collaborate with the Voice of America radio station. The family often changed their place of residence (Syria, Tunisia, Greece) and eventually moved to Washington. There, Hadid Sr. continued to work for Voice of America as a journalist, editor and translator. Mohammed was 14 when he moved to the States.
He was a participant in the reality shows The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and The Second Wives Club.
Last year, Hadid got into trouble - 23-year-old model Miranda Vee accused him of violence. According to Vee, the businessman invited her to a business breakfast and abused her.

Another problem with the law happened to Mohamed in the same year. The court sentenced him to 200 hours of community service and a fine (however, a modest one) for violations in the construction of a mansion in the Bel Air area.
Hadid is known as a real estate developer, but he hasn't always been into real estate. Mohamed's first business project was a nightclub he opened on the Greek island of Rhodes. He then proceeded to import British oldtimers (classic cars) to the US.
Hadid entered the real estate business through the construction of business centers in Washington. After 10 years, he moved to Aspen - built The Ritz-Carlton there, invested in several other high-profile projects and generally succeeded very well.
In the late 1980s, Hadid ran into business with Donald Trump and won. The fight took place in the same Aspen, where Trump wanted to buy the land and start his construction, but it was Mohammed who bypassed him. Despite lawsuits from Trump, that victory propelled Hadid into the #1 real estate industry.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Hadid settled in Los Angeles and became one of the leading real estate developers in Beverly Hills. His most expensive project is the Palazzo di Amore worth $195 million. Mohamed worked actively for celebrities: Michael Jackson spent his last years in the estate built by Hadid. However, not everything went smoothly. In 2012, Sylvester Stallone sued the developer, accusing him of fraud, breach of an oral contract, and negligence. Nevertheless, the lawsuit was settled, and today Hadid and Stallone get along quite well.
Hadid's first wife was Mary Butler. This marriage ended in 1992. The former spouses have two daughters - Mariel and Alana. Two years later, Mohammed married again - to Yolande van der Herick, who took his last name. The couple broke up in 2000. All of Hadid's kids are great at communicating.
Mariel, Mohamed, Alana, Gigi, Anwar and Bella Hadid
In 2014, Hadid met Shiva Safai in a restaurant in Los Angeles. Soon the couple began an affair, and in 2017 Hadid and Safay announced their engagement.
Shiva Safai and Mohamed Hadid
Shiva is 31 years younger than Mohamed, she is a journalist and model, has worked in television and also engaged in interior design. By the way, in terms of the number of followers on Instagram, Safay almost caught up with Hadid: 774,000 versus 870,000.
In 1992, he actually participated in the Winter Olympics - he played for Jordan in speed skiing and was the only representative of this country. He did not achieve success, but the fact itself speaks volumes - especially at that time Hadid was already 43.
Mohamed is a certified pilot; regularly sits at the helm.
Mohamed is very friendly with his children. And he is not shy about showing his father's feelings. Last year, he responded to Gigi's 22nd birthday with seven posts on Instagram - with childhood and teenage photos of his daughter, the last post was a touching video with a pair of swans and a small chick. However, there are also more exotic emotions. Recently, on the same Instagram, Mohamed showed off a Birkin bag adorned with a drawing of another daughter's eye, Bella.
