In November 2020, the 23-year-old made the decision to walk away from the fashion industry, claiming that the career did not align with her faith.

“My mom asked me to quit modeling a LONG time ago. I wish I wasn’t so defensive,’’ Aden wrote on why she quite modelling “Thanks to COVID-19 and the breakaway from the industry, I have finally realized where I went wrong on my hijab journey.’’

In May, Aden revealed that she’s coming back to the fashion industry with a “special project” with Tommy Hilfiger.
