In the same interview, Hadid credited her parents for instilling good work ethics in her. She said that even though she is technicallya "nepotism baby", she insists that she's worked hard for her success in the fashion industry.

The 27-year-old model is the daughter of Yolanda Hadid and Mohamed Hadid.
"My parents came from very little, (but) I've always acknowledged that I come from privilege," the model shared."My parents told me, 'Just because you have parents who were successful doesn't mean you shouldn't walk into the job being as nice and as hard-working as you can be."
Speaking about her dating life, Gigi admittedthat it's hard for her to have a healthy relationship. She explained, "I don't know how anyone expects anybody they see in the public eye to have any sort of normal dating experience if you tie people (to one another) so quickly."
