Mohamed Hadid is a Jordanian-American real estate developer.

He is the son of Kharia (Daher) and Anwar Mohamed Hadid. He has five children, two with his former wife Mary Butler; and three, models and television personalities Gigi Hadid and Anwar Hadid, and model and equestrian Bella Hadid, with his former wife, television personality, model, and interior designer Yolanda Hadid.

Mohamed is of the Muslim religion, and has said, “I wouldn’t call myself a ‘devout’ Muslim… but I’m very proud of my heritage.”

However, Mohamed’s daughter Bella has said, “He [Mohamed] was always religious, and he always prayed with us. I am proud to be a Muslim.”

Mohamed has said that he is descended from Zahir al-Umar, an autonomous Arab ruler of northern Palestine in the mid-18th century.

    Might be that some western DNA test are not calibrated with ethnic regions of non-western DNA such as the Middle East and North Africa (speaking about Arabs).

    Place of Birth: Nazareth, Mandatory Palestine (now part of Israel)
    Date of Birth: November 6, 1948

    You should fix that to-
    Place of Birth: Nazareth, Israel

    Because the State of Israel got its independence from the Brits in May 1948.
    Several months before Hadid’s birth.
