An obsessed man may be the reason behind Gigi Hadid listing her luxury apartment.

Last week it was reported that the 20-year-old model put her Soho pad on the market for $2.45million.

But a recent report suggests the listing came shortly after a fan’s repeated attempts to get into her home.

Property entrepreneur: Gigi Hadid listed her Manhattan apartment reportedly after an obsessed man repeatedly attempted to get in her home

Pictured: Marcell Porter – pictured from a previous arrest – made numerous attempts at making it into her place and even successfully made it one

According to TMZ, Marcell Porter made numerous tries at getting into the apartment and even once successfully got past security and made it into her place.

He was arrested on June 29 and charged with fourth degree stalking.

According to police, Marcell had previously taken to Facebook to post obsessive-sounding messages about the reality star including: ‘I LOVE U. I KNOW EVERYTHING NOW. WAIT FOR ME SOULMATE.’

Last week real estate website Zillow reported she had listed her two-bedroom apartment in New York’s upscale Manhattan for $2.45 million

Gigi bought it for $1.92 million last year via a trust in the name of her mother, Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid Foster, accordingto the New York Daily News.

And if she gets her asking price, the beautiful blonde will pocket a cool $530,000.

Gigi entertained her best friends Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner at her beautifully appointed 935 sq-ft home last December and they helped her with the Christmas decorations.

The apartment is in an eight-story loft building with a 24-hour doorman.

Gigi, who is dating Joe Jonas, has listed the pad with Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York star Fredrik Eklund and partner John Gomes, according to Zillow.

Meanwhile, it seems the model is keen to move up in the property market.

She was recently seen checking out a larger $3 million apartment at 100 Norfolk St. near the Williamsburg Bridge, according to the Daily News.
