Hadid and her siblings were originally raised on a ranch in Santa Barbara and then moved out to Malibu while she was still in elementary school.
As a teenager, Hadid was an equestrian player and had dreams to attend the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro but had to give up competing in 2013 due to her suffering from Lyme disease. It was not announced that she suffered from Lyme until October 2015. She was diagnosed with the disease in 2012.
In Fall of 2014, Hadid moved to New York City and began studying photography at the Parsons School of Design, signing to IMG shortly before. She has since dropped out of school due to the success of her modeling career.
