Don't be alarmed: this is the girlfriend of Gigi Hadid's father

Gigi and Bella Hadid have a father who knows what he wants. Mohamed Hadid is 70 years old and owns a lot of luxury hotels worldwide.

He is of Palestinian descent and was born in Nazareth, Israel. That is far in the past. Now the whole wide world knows this best businessman. He now has two quite famous model daughters, of course, and he has three other children. He had Gigi and Bella with his ex whom we all know, the Dutch model Yolanda van den Herik. But the two broke up and Mohamed didn't sit still afterwards either. He has been together with Shiva Safai, a 38-year-old model, since 2014. So there is about a 32-year age difference. Just to compare: Gigi is now 23 years old, sister Bella is 22.

Who is Shiva, we wondered?

Well, she doesn't look bad at all, first of all:

The sun rises every day rain or shine, wind or snow. So make sure to always wear sunscreen??

She is also quite smart. Shiva was born in Iran and has had her own businesses from a young age. So a businesswoman. And now she has a ring on her finger because she is engaged to Mr. Hadid himself.

According to her, it was ‘love at first sight’ between her and Mohamed. They first saw each other when they were both dining at a restaurant in Los Angeles. After being together for four years, Mohamed popped the big question. When they will exactly get married is still unclear. They are not in a hurry: it is nice for Shiva in their house in Beverly Hills, which for example has eleven bedrooms and is worth sixty million dollars. And what does she do in a day? She has been playing a role in the reality television series the Second Wives Club for a few years now. A nice side job.

The happy couple:

But we never judge too quickly, you know. It seems that Shiva is also committed to good causes. She raises money for children with cancer. So this beautiful woman certainly has her heart in the right place. And she loves to cook. Cooking for herself, yes. And she is said to have a good relationship with the famous girls, Gigi and Bella. After all, she is also a model, so she knows what she is talking about as a stepmother. It is indeed a turbulent little family. Delicious.
