Hadid says that during her acceptance speech for Glamour Woman of the Year in 2017, “I was really nervous to give my speech, and I almost couldn’t speak because I really felt that honored and touched.”

But when it comes to modeling, the pair are just grateful to have a each other.
6. She can spot a sociopath from a mile away.
