Supermodel Gigi Hadid melted hearts online as she celebrated her sister Bella Hadid’s 29th birthday with a touching Instagram tribute filled with childhood memories and loving words.
The Victoria’s Secret Angel, 30, shared a series of throwback photos featuring the sisters growing up together, along with recent snapshots that captured their close bond. Gigi also included adorable moments featuring her 5-year-old daughter, Khai, spending time with her “Aunt Bella.”
“It’s @bellahadid day,” Gigi captioned one post, adding, “She’s our walking heart” and “Must protect her at all costs.” She followed with playful humor, telling fans, “You better be nice in the comments,” before describing Bella as “the most loving (and spoiling) auntie and sister.”
Gigi concluded her post with an emotional note: “Happy birthday! I love you so much!” The post quickly went viral, drawing warm reactions from fans and fellow celebrities alike who praised the Hadid sisters’ unbreakable bond.
Bella Hadid’s birthday also coincided with a career milestone — her high-fashion comeback at Paris Fashion Week after taking a break for treatment of Lyme disease, a chronic illness she has battled since age 16.
She was spotted in Paris on September 24, before making a stunning return to the runway at Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2026 show on September 29, marking her triumphant re-entry into the fashion world.
