Bella Hadid and Yolanda Hadid


Yolanda Hadid updates fans on Bella's health struggle of Lyme disease.

American model Bella Hadid continuously stays strong as she faces health struggles due to her Lyme disease.

But like any mother, Yolanda faces the burden twice as much. Seeing her daughter battle against a disease surely breaks her heart.

In a recent Instagram post, Yolanda expressed her takeaways and feelings seeing Bella hospitalized due to the disease.

"As you will understand watching my Bella struggle in silence, has cut the deepest core of hopelessness inside me," she said.

The celebrity mom admits understanding the disease is already a struggle. Yet her pain doesn't match Bella's while facing the disease.

"After many years I stopped sharing my personal story because I needed an energetic shift, time to focus on my healing rather than absorb other people's opinions about my journey.

"Even so, I am the CEO of my health and after fifteen years of searching the globe, I am still determined to find a cure affordable for all."

Yolanda promises to share their overall journey once they received results.

As the message went on, Yolanda then penned a heartfelt tribute to her brave daughter.
"You are relentless and courageous.

“No child is suppose[d] to suffer in their body with an incurable chronic disease. I admire your bravery and your willingness to keep fighting for health despite the failing protocols and countless setbacks you have faced.

"There simply aren't words big enough for the darkness, the pain, and the unknown hell you've lived through since your diagnosis in 2013."

Yolanda further shared her admiration, "You didn't really live, you learned how to exist inside the jail of your own paralyzed brain.

"I am so proud of the fighter that you are. You are not alone, I promise to have your back every step of the way, no matter how long this takes.”

The mom concluded her message, "You are a survivor…I love you so much my badass Warrior."

Yolanda's post comes after Bella gave fans a health update of her own earlier this week, when she shared a series of photos on Instagram of her recent hospital stay.

The model, at the time, did not disclose the reason for her hospitalization.
