General Profile: Gigi is a successful and determined real estate agent, known for her strong character and loyalty towards the people she values. Although she can be intense in her relationships, she demonstrates a capacity for introspection and personal growth. Her story encompasses managing her divorce, raising her children, and navigating new romantic connections, including meaningful relationships with Dani Núñez and Bette Porter.

Personal History:

• Family Origin: Gigi comes from a large, low-income Iranian family, being the only daughter among seven brothers. Her real name is Golnar, but she adopted the nickname "Gigi" (derived from her initials, GG) during her childhood to facilitate her integration. Her father was her best friend until they grew apart after she revealed her homosexuality. She maintains a close relationship with her mother and brothers.

• Relationship with Nat Bailey: Gigi and Nat were best friends before starting a relationship and getting married. Together they have two children, Olive and Eli, conceived via sperm donor. Their marriage ended when Nat discovered that Gigi was having an affair with their mutual friend, Mona, during Eli's hospitalization. Nat requested a divorce immediately, which generated a painful rupture and a prolonged estrangement.

• Shared Parenting: After the divorce, Gigi and Nat eventually established a functional co-parenting dynamic, albeit with residual tensions. Gigi strives to maintain a stable presence in her children's lives, although her methods sometimes create friction with Nat.
