Gigi - who has two-year-old Khai with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik - told the Sunday Times newspaper: "Technically, I'm a nepotism baby."
She also explained that her parents have instilled good work ethics in her. The blonde beauty - who is the sister of fellow model Bella Hadid - shared: "My parents came from very little, (but) I've always acknowledged that I come from privilege."
She further mentioned, quoted by Female First UK: "My parents told me, 'Just because you have parents who were successful doesn't mean you shouldn't walk into the job being as nice and as hard-working as you can be."
Gigi was recently linked to Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio. And the catwalk star admits that it's hard for her to have a healthy relationship.
She explained: "I don't know how anyone expects anybody they see in the public eye to have any sort of normal dating experience if you tie people (to one another) so quickly."
