Supermodel Bella Hadid recently updated her status on IG, revealing that she needs to take a break due to Lyme disease. She shared her thoughts with everyone, saying “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry” and expressed her anticipation for the day when she can meet everyone again after her recovery.
As a supermodel, Bella Hadid is always seen at fashion weeks and fashion events, becoming the center of attention. However, this year she has rarely been absent from fashion weeks and the Met Gala, and has also reduced her updates on IG, which has caused a lot of speculation. Recently, she finally updated her situation on IG, revealing that she had a relapse of Lyme disease, which she was diagnosed with many years ago. From the photo, you can see needles inserted in her arm, showing her efforts in the treatment process.
What is Lyme disease?
Lyme disease is a disease primarily transmitted through the bite of ticks. In the early stages, there are usually symptoms such as fever, muscle stiffness, and rashes. In more severe cases, it can cause inflammation of the nerves, heart, and joints. After infection, symptoms of joint pain and swelling may recur repeatedly for a month to several years. Approximately 10 to 20% of people may still experience joint pain, memory impairment, and mental fatigue even after proper treatment in the following six months.

Bella Hadid revealed in an Instagram post that she was diagnosed with Lyme disease since she was young. While she is working hard to make herself, her family, and her supporters proud, her condition has worsened over time and with work. Although the recovery process has been painful, Bella Hadid still maintains a positive attitude and encourages others who are suffering, “The universe operates in the most painful and beautiful way at the same time. Just take a step back, stay strong, have faith in your own path, walk confidently, and the clouds will dissipate. In the 100+ days of treating Lyme disease, chronic illness, and complications, as well as the invisible pain for nearly 15 years, if I can spread love and positive energy throughout my life and stay true to myself, it is truly worth it.”
She also thanked her mother, saying that not only did she keep all her medical records from a young age, but she also stayed by her side during this period of fighting against the disease, always believing that she could get through it all. She also mentioned that in the past hundred-plus days of dealing with Lyme disease, chronic illness, and infection treatment, although it was painful, it was the most inspiring experience of her life. “If I had to go through it again, I would choose to be in this moment right now, with everyone, and ultimately regain my health. I would do the same things again, as they have shaped who I am today.”
She also said that she will meet everyone again when she is ready, let’s look forward to and wait for Bella Hadid’s comeback together!
