Gigi Hadid has been released from jail after being arrested for marijuana and paraphernalia possession upon her arrival in the Cayman Islands. The supermodel, 28, was detained by border patrol at the Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town on Grand Cayman on July 10. During a customs search, a “small amount of weed and smoking utensils”reported TMZ.
According to TMZ, Gigi and a friend were arrested “arrested on charges of importation of marijuana and importation of utensils to smoke the cannabis.” However, it was later determined by the CBC that the drugs were for personal use only. Gigi arranged for bail and her arrest was processed at the Royal Cayman Islands Detention Center.
Two days later, on July 12, Gigi and her companion appeared in court and pleaded guilty. They were ordered to pay a $1,000 fine but did not receive a conviction on their records.
Gigi had been visiting the Cayman Islands for a girl’s trip with friends, as reported by E! Online. Her representative stated that “Gigi was traveling with marijuana purchased legally in NYC with a medical license” and “It has also been legal for medical use in Grand Cayman since 2017. Her record remains clear and she enjoyed the rest of her time on the island.”
Following her court appearance, Gigi took to social media to share photos from her trip, including snapshots of her in a bikini. The incident doesn’t appear to have affected her vacation.

Gigi shares a two-year-old daughter named Khai with her ex, Zayn Malik. While they have separated, rumors have circulated that Zayn is now dating Selena Gomez. This has led to speculation about a potential feud between Selena and Gigi, who have been acquaintances through their mutual friend Taylor Swift. However, sources have indicated that Gigi has “no problem” with the new couple and only wants “Zayn to be happy and stable.”
Additionally, Gigi has been linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom she has been spotted on multiple dates. Last month, they were seen enjoying a secret date at Chiltern Firehouse in London. The pair initially sparked rumors when they attended a party together in New York City in September 2022.
