Bella Hadid privately celebrates her 29th birthday with BFF Hailey Bieber amid health woes

Bella Hadid had a relaxed birthday gathering with close friends, including Hailey Bieber.

I’m loving all the photos Candice Swanepoel shared from her 29th birthday celebrations! She turned 29 on October 9th and just posted a bunch of fun snapshots to Instagram over the weekend – it looked like a really great time.

In one photo, she posed with Justin Bieber’s wife, 28, and large balloons, including a giant 29. 

Bella showed off a glimpse of her abs with a see-through top and blue jeans. Hailey kept it casual and stylish in a white t-shirt and dark jeans.

Bella shared a sweet message saying she’s incredibly grateful for her amazing friends, calling them the cutest girls in the world. She expressed her deep love for them in a recent post. This comes after Bella received treatment in Germany for Lyme disease, which she’s been battling for over ten years.

A video showed Bella blowing out candles on her red birthday cake, which had a picture of her from a Victoria’s Secret fashion show on it – a photo of her wearing lingerie on the runway.

The cake featured the phrase ‘That’s all folks!’ 

Bella showed off her Halloween decorations, including a photo of her with several brightly colored pumpkins.

In another sweet moment, the birthday girl wore a crown and had fun carving pumpkins with her friends.

She also shared a photo of Hailey with a special pumpkin – it was painted black and decorated with eyes and cat ears.

The carousel went on with a snap of Bella painting a pumpkin.

She also gave a glimpse of several wrapped birthday presents.

Just last week, Bella’s boyfriend, Adan Banuelos, publicly shared a loving message about their relationship while celebrating her birthday.

The 36-year-old rodeo star, who is Mexican-American, posted some old photos of the couple and gave fans a peek into their relaxed life in Texas.

October has always felt extra special to me, ever since I found out it’s the month Gigi Hadid was born! It’s so sweet how Banuelos described it – like she was a gift sent straight from above. It really captures how many of us feel about her!

The cowboy went on, saying that even amidst all the hardship and unpleasantness, God had given them something truly good and lovely.

He finished his late birthday message by telling her, ‘I love you, and I’ll keep reminding you how much I do.’

Hadid reacted to the comments with tearful and heart emojis, writing, ‘Baby I love you, thank you my sweetie!’ She added, ‘This is the sweetest thing ever.’

He posted several pictures of their dates, which often involved horseback riding. Some photos showed them riding together, with Hadid affectionately embracing him.

The couple looked very affectionate in the cowboy’s photos. In one picture, Banuelos was kissing her hand as they held each other’s fingers.

There was also a blurry picture of him smiling while she flipped off someone who was taking photos.

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper started dating towards the end of 2023, soon after Hadid moved to Texas. She described the move as a fresh start for both her love life and herself.

In September, Gigi Hadid worried fans when she announced she was receiving treatment at St. George Hospital near Munich.

Hadid was receiving treatment for Lyme disease at a clinic with a specialized center. The month-long treatment was expensive, with a week-long stay costing over $100,000.

Disturbing photos shared by model Hadid and her mother, Yolanda, revealed Hadid receiving intravenous therapy, using an oxygen tube to breathe, and wrapped in wet towels. Yolanda also lives with long-term Lyme disease.

Hadid recently apologized to her 61 million Instagram followers for being largely absent from the platform for the past month.

Gigi Hadid’s struggle with long-term Lyme disease has faced some questioning, mainly because many doctors don’t recognize ‘chronic Lyme disease’ as an official diagnosis.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that most people with Lyme disease get better within two to three weeks of taking antibiotics.

Some people experience symptoms that continue for weeks or months after treatment, a condition known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS).

Most doctors believe the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, spread by ticks, doesn’t remain active in the body for many years, even though some people with long-term Lyme symptoms report otherwise.

In addition to physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, light and noise sensitivity, thyroid problems, inflammation, and joint and nerve pain caused by her chronic Lyme disease, Gigi Hadid also struggles with significant depression and anxiety.

Hadid recently shared with her Instagram followers that her anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, making it hard to function and often hidden from others.

I’ve come to realize that being deeply feeling isn’t a flaw, but simply who I am. My ability to sense things, to understand others’ emotions – it’s actually a strength, and in some ways, a gift.

She explained that these experiences are fundamental to being human and have given her a greater understanding of herself and the people around her.
