00:00 Gigi Hadid is sharing an update on her sister's treatment for Lyme disease.
00:04 The supermodel shed light on Bella Hadid's health struggle in an Instagram Stories post
00:07 on Tuesday.
00:09 Last month, Gigi had shared a throwback fashion week snap with her younger sister on social
00:12 media with the caption, "Bella Hadid can't wait for the comeback."
00:16 And in her new post, she explained that that comeback would happen whenever Bella felt
00:20 ready.
00:21 Gigi wrote, "Just want to touch on this post from last week.
00:24 Bella just finished a long and intense treatment for Lyme disease.
00:27 Don't want some to take my post as a promise she'll be back for shows this next season,"
00:30 referring to the fashion week dates coming up next month.
00:33 The proud big sis added words of encouragement for Bella, writing, "I'm so proud of her and
00:37 excited for her comeback whenever she feels ready."
00:40 News broke last month that Bella was putting her health first.
00:43 A source told Access Hollywood at the time that the model was, quote, "taking time off"
00:46 to focus on treating her Lyme disease.
00:48 Bella has long been open about her struggles with the disease.
00:51 Back in April, the brunette beauty gave fans a lengthy health update, sharing in a candid
00:55 TikTok that she recently suffered from a persistent toothache that turned into a jaw infection
00:59 so painful that it caused her Lyme disease to flare up.
01:02 that tooth.
01:03 That one.
01:04 Okay, well, see, it's gone down a little bit now.
01:10 But, like, I'm gonna put a photo really fast, okay?
01:13 This is like four weeks ago when I landed in Florida to ride my horses.
01:24 I look sick as a dog compared to what I look like now.
01:27 I think, well, I guess you can be the judge, but just know then I don't, I didn't know
01:34 what I know now.
01:35 I started antibiotics.
01:36 I started pain medication.
01:41 Bella went on to explain the emotional struggles she's gone through while experiencing not
01:45 only her recent symptoms, but also her Lyme disease overall and how it's affected her
01:49 mental health and professional life.
01:51 The antibiotics helped so much.
01:53 Oh my gosh.
01:55 I never ever ever took antibiotics since when I first got diagnosed with Lyme, like, 12
02:02 years ago.
02:03 And I literally had the worst reaction from the antibiotics and I was like sick to my
02:09 stomach, threw up every single day.
02:11 And I was like, we're cutting the cameras on these.
02:14 Never did it again.
02:15 Till now.
02:16 So I'm not saying like, I don't recommend antibiotics at all.
02:20 I'm just saying like, they really helped me in this scenario when basically the nerve
02:28 pain from my jaw ended up going down my entire meridian of my body and through every single
02:36 just like to the touch, like everywhere, everywhere, all the way down my body through all my lymph
02:43 nodes.
02:44 And it was like, this pain, man.
02:49 Something real different.
02:51 Whenever Bella feels healthy enough and ready to return to Fashion Week, we're sure she'll
02:55 make a splash.
02:56 She and Gigi have been fixtures on the biggest runways for years now and make such a dynamic
03:00 high fashion duo.
03:01 It was back in 2016 that the sisters were supermodels on the rise and walked the Victoria
03:05 Secret runway together for the first time.
03:08 Access Hollywood spoke to Gigi about the advice she gave Bella before the big runway.
03:12 What tip did you give her for this year?
03:14 Because this is crazy.
03:15 Tips.
03:16 Yeah.
03:17 Smile.
03:18 Because when you get nervous, you forget to smile.
03:19 Yeah.
03:20 Or you're like one of two people.
03:21 You're like, get nervous and you can't smile or you get nervous and you get like too giggly.
03:22 I'm like the giggly one, Bella's like the one that gets serious when she gets nervous.
03:23 So I just had to remind her.
03:24 Smile.
03:25 Smile.
03:26 But like, she's so beautiful and like, she is perfect for this show so she's going to
03:27 be amazing.
03:28 Yeah.
03:29 Are you guys, are you guys going to be on the runway?
03:30 Yeah, we're going to be on the runway.
03:31 We're going to be on the runway.
03:32 We're going to be on the runway.
