Gigi, Anwar, and Bella Hadid's father is opening up about the memories made in his former home and how his kids are doing today.
Mohamed Hadid is a very devoted father to his five children. The real estate developer has three kids — models Gigi, Bella, and Anwar Hadid — with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Yolanda Hadid, and two adult daughters with his first wife, Mary Butler.
Mohamed took to Instagram in March, where he looked back on the Los Angeles house, which sold in 2018, and was a beloved space for the Hadid family. Mohamed posted so many photos of the absolutely gorgeous mansion, referred to as Le Belvédère, which boasted 10 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, a ballroom, a winery, a Moroccan-themed entertainment room, a movie theater, and a pool, sitting on top of a 2.2-acre property. Mohamed then took to the caption of the post, where he felt very nostalgic.
"For memories only," he wrote. "Family home The house of HADID. Designed and build by M Hadid."
In a 2022 interview with Vogue, Bella admitted that she never understood her dad's decorating style growing up. "My dad didn't grow up with a lot at all, so to be very grand with everything he does — this was his way to make his father in heaven proud," she said. "At that age, I didn't understand it. I just knew being in his houses didn't feel comfortable to me."
Mohamed Hadid reveals the advice he's shared with his kids
In a March 2 interview with Us Weekly, Mohamed revealed that he is very close to his five children and dished on the inspirational words he's passed on to them. "I just tell them to be safe and be confident," he admitted.
It certainly helps that his children were raised by some amazing moms. But, of course, he takes some of the credit. "I think they have great mothers," he added. "All of my kids, so they have a really good background. I made them that way. It was just...I did it by myself."
Where Mohamed Hadid stands with ex-wife, Yolanda Hadid, today
Mohamed closed out 2024 by leaving such a sweet message to his five kids. Yolanda's ex took to Instagram at the time, where he posted several throwback photos of his children and listed each of their names in the caption of his post. "Happiest New Year to my kids," he wrote in the caption of the post. "You make me proud every single day. Baba."
