Anwar Hadid appears to have a new woman in his heart! The younger brother of the supermodels Bella and Gigi Hadid recently sparked relationship rumors with the up-and-coming model Sophia Piccirilli.
Like most family members, the Los Angeles native found his calling as a fashion influencer, and he is currently signed under IMG Models. In 2019, the 24-year-old received widespread media coverage over his relationship with the sensational songstress Dua Lipa.
However, the pair's romance ended two years later, with the three-time Grammy winner finding love again with the French movie director Romain Gavras. Weeks after the new couple debuted red carpet, the internet personality stepped out with his presumed lover.
Anwar Hadid Holds Hands With Sophia Piccirilli One Month After Dropping A Series Of Concerning Posts
News of the "Vogue" model's rumored relationship came after the entertainer was spotted enjoying a stroll with his new lady. As seen in pictures shared by PageSix, the duo appeared obsessed with each other, holding hands as they navigated the streets of New York City.
For the sunny affair, the speculated lovebirds dressed casually, with Hadid rocking a camouflage tee illustrated with army insignia and the words: "Waging War." The tattooed heartthrob paired the top with dark-wash jeans, a black beanie, and black lace-up shoes.
Meanwhile, Piccirilli went for a risqué touch, skipping her bra and letting her assets shine in a skimpy white tank top. She paired the mesmerizing outfit with sweatpants, slyly rolling the waistband down to expose her toned midriff.
The red-haired beauty completed the sexy number with white Adidas sneakers and a red bag, while her accessories included black sunglasses, drop earrings, and two gold necklaces. The rising model seemingly hinted at her romance with Hadid by flaunting what appeared to be a hickey on the side of her neck.
The presumed love bite might not be off the mark, as a source claimed the duo had been dating for several months. Things appeared serious between them as the insider revealed Piccirilli allegedly visited the Hadids' Pennsylvania home to celebrate her beau's birthday.
This new chapter in the IMG model's life marked a welcomed change following the media personality's slew of controversial posts. Last month, the 24-year-old seemingly reacted to his ex-girlfriend's relationship with alarming messages, including a perceived threat against the French movie director.
Hadid's concerning behavior occurred shortly after the "Love Again" singer debuted her romance with Gavras at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival in Southern France on May 19, 2023. The event marked the lovebirds' red carpet debut, where they twinned in black ensembles.
The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award winner stunned in a gorgeously fitted Celine gown designed by Hedi Slimane. On the other hand, Gavras looked dapper in an all-black suit, a white dress shirt, and a black tie.
Following the couple's public appearance, Hadid took to his Instagram Story with a series of scary messages. The first slide featured a picture of the media personality looking sad with a cloth wrapped around his head.
The model captioned this somber image: "Trying not to find and Kill him" alongside a passive-aggressive smile emoji. The worrisome upload continued with a bathroom selfie where the fashion influencer smirked at his reflection. The overlay text read, "I can't breathe."
Although he did not direct his cryptic posts to anyone, the messages seemed directed at Lipa and her blossoming relationship with Gavras. In the last two notes, Hadid wrote: "Have fun" and "I hate the way you say my name."
Dua Lipa's Ex-boyfriend Claimed Fans Misinterpreted His Messages
After the younger brother of Bella and Gigi Hadid went viral for his presumed reaction to his ex-girlfriend's new relationship, the Los Angeles native called out fans for misunderstanding his posts.
Slamming media outlets for spreading false information about his intentions, the 24-year-old aired his grievances on his Instagram Story. Addressing the reports of his alleged reaction to Lipa and Gavras' romance, the model penned:
“Crazy how the internet will just make whole articles about sh*t they don’t know anything about!! Y’all just bored as fuck!!!!”
Although his rant conveyed his feelings, Hadid confused fans again by adding the second text, "Sorry." Without a recipient for his apology, people wondered who the tattooed entertainer was thinking about.
