I didn’t expect her (West) Asian DNA to be only about 1/4th. The West Asians/Levantine people I’ve seen score almost entirely or 100% West Asian DNA (some may have a tiny bit of North African as well). Gigi’s test implies that her father was of approximately half European descent. Though the DNA results may not be entirely accurate or may change if she took another companies test…
I wonder if her siblings also took DNA tests, would their genetic score also be about 1/4th Asian and 3/4th European?
Look at her father. Not something unexpected.
She had a daughter with Zayn Malik
Super ethnic she has a super strong asian side like her all family but it’s deeper on her look her almond shaped eyes her high cheekbones her large flat face and big lips she dyed her hair as blond but her asian roots are so strong than she mocked asian lol !!
You are deluded af, she didnt dyed her hair blonde, Thats her natural hair colour, her sister Bella dyed her hair, quit talking bs u weirdo.
You are deluded af she did like all blondes who are 98% dyed that’s isn’t her natural hair colour just look the colour of her regrowth and brows: brown.
Quit talking bs u weirdo.
Then I repeat she’s asian af look to her face so clearly she is!!
Nope, you’re definitely deluded, her face doens’t look “asian af” by any means, if anything she looks slightly asian
she’s 70% european, she doesn’t look any more Asian than lots of eastern Russians
Her roots are dirty blonde. Manu natural blondes hair turns dirty blonde when they get older. You can see in pics that it was lighter when she was younger & now you can see in pics that it’s dirty blonde when she doesn’t lighten it. Her hair color isn’t a big deal though. It’s not like there aren’t some blonde & red head middle easterners (especially ones with European ancestry.)
Come on she is half asian arab/west asia not east asia
Regardless of her DNA ancestry, Gigi Hadid is half Asian in ancestry.
By many definitions being “Asian” means you’re from or have ancestry in “Asia” and the countries that constitute the borders of Asia is filled with people that can look like anything.
True. Asia is diverse
Ans is still living.
