Bella Hadid He is now open about his life.
The supermodel, 29, was open and honest in a series of Instagram stories on Thursday, June 25, explaining her latest outbreak of Lyme disease. (Hadid was first diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012 when she was 16.)
Hadid retweeted a photo of a friend of a gift the model had sent her featuring Hadid’s new fragrance, Orebella. “Even if I’m sad…. Seeing my best friends get small gifts from me from afar, at least to have them in my heart when I’m not feeling well,” he wrote on the picture. “And on top of that, seeing how hard my wonderful team works for me and my dreams…. It makes me emotional…. Thank you to our nation for keeping me strong.”
Hadid followed up with another Instagram Story, a close-up with tears streaming down her face, and detailed the chronic symptoms she experienced as a result of her illness.
“I couldn’t stop this rash… I slept for 11 hours. And…. Sleeping every day. I took all the procedures from any doctor I saw. Still nothing helped,” he shared.
“Now I found myself with 12 more things, so that’s good,” he continued.
Hadid continued, “And today is not the day to tell me in the journal. And yes, I drank water. And no, I didn’t leave because I was out of breath and headed for the kitchen. I don’t think there is one brain cell that is working and my last two are talking so I’m sorry if I ever told you about a bad day back in the journal. I’m sorry.
On a brighter note, she wrote, “I took a shower without passing out… so again, if you know you know….that felt like a lot of work for me today, so maybe someone can send me a cookie or something.”

In a subsequent Instagram story, Hadid apologized if she “offended anyone” with her previous post.
“I know it sounds strange, but in fact it’s my reality, so it’s something I’ve been able to deal with until now. I’m sorry if I scared anyone,” he explained. “Of course this is a daily change [sic] to me for the past 15 years. I just became very emotional because of not being able to do things that my mind can plan, but my body can’t do. “
Hadid concluded, “Every day is a new day and tomorrow I hope, God willing, a better one.”
