<p>Gigi is one of the most well-connected celebrities and not only is it because she&#8217;s friendly, but also because she is supportive of other people&#8217;s success. She often shares how proud she is of her friend&#8217;s work like Taylor Swift when she released <em>Folklore</em>.



<p><strong>4. Her athleticism</strong>

<p>Gigi may be a supermodel now but before that, she used to play competitively in high school as the captain of her Volleyball team where she could&#8217;ve been a pro athlete. Not to mention, she also loves riding horses at her family farm.
