Bella Hadid Is “Finally Healthy” After “15 Years Of Invisible Suffering”

Supermodel Bella Hadid comes from an illustrious family of models with elder sis Gigi Hadid, and mom Yolanda Hadid. That said, disease and ill health don’t care who you are, which is why after “15 years of invisible suffering”, Bella Hadid is updating fans about her health struggle and where she is at today.

The 26-year-old model often claimed to be one of the most beautiful faces on the planet, posted a health update on Sunday. After over a decade of intense health struggles including “100+ days of Lyme, chronic disease, [co-infection] treatment [and] almost 15 years of invisible suffering,” Bella Hadid had a bit of good news, in that she’s “finally healthy.”

She began her post by expressing her gratitude, writing, “The little me that suffered would be so proud of grown me for not giving up on myself,” as she added a heart-hand emoji.

She also wrote she was grateful to her mom, Yolanda Hadid, who was also diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, along with the youngest Hadid sibling, Anwar. Wrote Bella, “Thankful to my mommy for keeping all of my medical records, sticking by me, never leaving my side, protecting, supporting, but most of all, believing me through all of this.”

Along with the long update, Bella also posted several pictures of her health struggle, at various clinics and undergoing many treatments, with a medical report of her at 17 as well.

She explained why she chose these pictures, writing, “I tried to pick the most positive pictures I could because as painful as this experience was, the outcome was the most enlightening experience of my life filled with new friends, new visions, and a new brain.”

Here’s the stunning post that has garnered tons of support and empathy from family, friends, and fans alike…

Despite all the health issues, Bella has a bright and hopeful outlook as she tells her fans and followers not to worry, writing, “One thing I want to express to you all is that 1: I am okay and you do not have to worry, and 2: I wouldn’t change anything for the world. If I had to go through all of this again, to get here, to this exact moment I’m in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today.”

That said, she did admit that it wasn’t easy, writing, “Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family, and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain. To be that sad and sick with the most blessings/privilege/opportunity/love around me was quite possibly the most confusing thing ever.”

Bella has been open about her health struggles in the past as well. In 2021, she shared an update about being a model with a “few chronic autoimmune diseases” with pictures of her hooked to IV bags, getting tons of support from her fans.

Hadid also encourages everyone to have patience, promising that things do get better despite all the struggles as she further wrote, “The universe works in the most painful and beautiful ways but I need to say that if you are struggling- it will get better. I promise.”

She advised fans to “take a step away, stay strong, have faith in your path, walk in your truth and the clouds will start to clear up. I have so much gratitude for and perspective on life, this 100+ days of Lyme, chronic disease, co-infection treatment, and almost 15 years of invisible suffering, was all worth it if I’m able to, God willing, have a lifetime of spreading love from a full cup and being able to truly be myself, For the first time ever…’

She ended the post by thanking her doctors, nurses, and agents, the companies she worked for, and everyone who showed support by checking in, before telling fans “I’ll be back when I’m ready. I miss you all so much. I love you all so much.”

Celebs like Ashley Benson, Winnie Harlow, Helena Christensen, and Camila Cabello showed their support as did big Gigi Hadid who wrote, “I love u I am so proud and happy 4 u!”
