Even supermodels have to struggle with the same problems as other New Yorkers. In an interview with "Architectural Digest", Gigi Hadid has now revealed the reason why she is having the terrace of her Manhattan penthouse apartment renovated: she has a "rat problem".

The rodent invasion in the Big Apple has gotten so out of control since the end of the pandemic that Mayor Eric Adams even appointed a "rat commissioner" in 2023.

However, he has not really been able to get the problem under control. Much to the chagrin of Hadid, who has therefore spent most of her time at the Hadid family estate in New Hope (Pennsylvania) in recent months.

First she had to flee from the rats, then from the construction work: "My outdoor area is being remodeled because of the rat problem, because the original design made the problem worse. I can't wait until the remodeling is finally done!"

Gigi Hadid, like her sister Bella Hadid, is considered one of the most successful models in the world. She is in a relationship with US film star Bradley Cooper. She has a child with One Direction star Zayn Malick.
