It’s no secret Mohamed Hadid has some very successful children – and that success just so happens to be in the public eye.
However, it seems the 71-year-old struggles with the fame of his daughters Gigi and Bella Hadid sometimes, which he has opened up about in a new interview.
In a new interview with The Times UK, the property tycoon admitted that many people don’t see him as Mohamed Hadid.
“They look at me as the father of Gigi and Bella and Anwar and Alana and Marielle,” the father-of-five said. “It’s dangerous for me to be their father.”
Clarifying his statement, he went on to explain that he has to be very cautious of everything he does, as he doesn’t want his actions to reflect on them. “[People] use my kids as an instrument to harass me,” he added.
Further explaining what it’s like to be a parent to two of the biggest supermodels in the world, Mohamed likened it to being a “tremendous burden”.
“Just being their father is a tremendous burden on me,” he said. “They were my kids. Now I’m their father. It is what it is.”
Comparing his family to the very public lives of the Kardashian-Jenners, Mohamed explained that they are very much “not the Kardashians” and are a very private family.
This certainly rings true for his daughter Gigi, 25, who recently gave birth to her first child. The model largely kept her pregnancy under wraps until recently, and made sure to keep her birth a secret and hasn’t revealed the name of her newborn daughter with boyfriend Zayn Malik yet.
Whilst Mohamed may have some reservations about being a father to two of the most famous people in the world right now, we’re betting it’s definitely not all bad…
