Hadid has previously hinted at her hope to start a family in an interview with iD magazine: “I think that as I get older … well one day I’ll start a family and I don’t know if I will always be modelling.

“I love the creative side of fashion, it’s so fulfilling. The people I work with make me so happy, I’m so lucky to be around them. But who knows? Maybe I’ll take up full time cooking!”
