Gigi Hadid shared a sweet birthday tribute to her sister Bella Hadid on her Instagram, featuring never-before-seen photos from one of their latest adventures together.
On Wednesday, the supermodel, 29, shared two photos of her younger brother, 28, looking happy while enjoying a day at one of Disney’s theme parks.
The first image showed Bella giving Mickey Mouse a big hug, along with a sweet message describing the Vogue cover girl as “the sweetest sister and aunt in the world.”
“Wishing you a year of more joy and adventure,” Gigi continued. ‘I love you!’
The second image, shared by Gigi, showed Bella walking through The Happiest Place on Earth wearing a plain white t-shirt and a plaid midi skirt.
Gigi Hadid shared a sweet birthday tribute to her sister Bella Hadid on her Instagram, featuring never-before-seen photos from one of their latest adventures together (seen in 2022).
In May, while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, Bella reflected on her sisterhood.
“It’s inevitable to fight, but it’s always knowing that you’re going to recover,” he said.
She continued, “That’s what’s so important to my sister and I: to live life like we’re best friends and do normal things as sisters, like steal clothes, take the front seat, and what music we’re going to listen to.”
He also noted that growing up they had very different musical tastes.
‘She was a Swiftie, I loved Lil Wayne. That was really hard for you, you know what I mean,’ Bella mused. “Now I can say I’m a Swiftie too.”
Previously, Bella praised how close she is to Gigi, whom she described as her ‘best friend, leader, teacher (and) partner in crime’ in a post shared on Instagram on Gigi’s 25th birthday in 2020.
‘I couldn’t do this life without you by my side! Thank you for being the best big sister I could ever ask for,’ Bella gushed.
At the moment, Bella is thriving both professionally and in her personal life, as she recently celebrated her first anniversary with her cowboy boyfriend Adan Bañuelos.
On Wednesday, the supermodel, 29, shared two photos of her younger brother, 28, looking happy while enjoying a day at one of Disney’s theme parks.
“Wishing you a year of more joy and adventure,” Gigi wrote. ‘I love you!’
Last month, a source said Us weekly that the model, 27, and her rodeo star lover, 35, see their relationship “going all the way.”
“She loves supporting Adan at his rodeos and couldn’t be prouder to be by his side,” the source told the outlet about how Bella enjoys watching him work with horses.
Like Bañuelos, “one of Bella’s greatest loves is horses” and their shared passion for horseback riding continues to bring them closer together.
A second source told the outlet that “Bella loves her new low-key lifestyle and feels secure in her and Adan’s relationship.”
Additionally, the source noted that both Bella’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, and her older sister, Gigi Hadid, are “really happy” that she is “in such a fantastic place.”
In addition to her family “totally” approving of their romance, the source said Bella’s loved ones have “never seen” her so happy with any other man.
The lovebirds were first romantically linked in October 2023 after they were spotted kissing in Fort Worth, Texas.
In May, while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, Bella reflected on her sisterhood.
“It’s inevitable to fight, but it’s always knowing that you’re going to recover,” he said.
In September, Hadid shared a charming slideshow in which she and Bañuelos participated in the Teton Ridge Gansevoort Street event in New York City, where they showed off their riding skills.
Bañuelos, who was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Jockeys’ Hall of Fame at age 28, recently gushed about W Magazine that “if it weren’t for the horses,” he “would never have met the love of” his life.
“It’s a passion his entire family shares,” Adan continued. ‘I was a lucky guy who said hello. He really didn’t know who he was saying hello to.
And he also gushed, “I knew it, she’s beautiful.” And if I had known, I probably would have stuttered.
She continued, “That’s what’s so important to my sister and I: to live life like we’re best friends and do normal things as sisters, like steal clothes, take the front seat, and what music we’re going to listen to.”
Last month in August, Adam also talked about how the model had moved into his fifth-wheel training RV during an episode of Throughout the journey podcast. ‘She did the fifth wheel, happily. It was bad**.’
‘It was great because I really wanted that to be part of our relationship. You know, you start to have feelings for someone and you start thinking things like, “Man, maybe this is the rest of my life here.”
And he added: “And knowing that she is a human being as simple as that (and) that material things are not important, or the most important thing.”
Bañuelos later said, “I’m working on building a house.” It will take a little time, but she bought something that was a good investment for her.’
At the moment, Bella is thriving both professionally and in her personal life, as she recently celebrated her first anniversary with her cowboy boyfriend Adan Bañuelos.
‘Man, I can’t express how happy I am. I can’t express how lucky I am,” Adan praised when talking about their relationship.
‘This young woman is one of the kindest, biggest-hearted and sweetest people I have ever met. I mean, I didn’t know God made them that way.
Hadid is rumored to have moved to Fort Worth at least part-time, to be closer to her man, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
North Texans have seen Hadid several times this year, including in March when she cheered on Bañuelos at the annual Arlington rodeo.
Among his many accolades, the Mexican-American jockey is best known as the 2020 Futurity Champion and four-time Rider of the Year for four different years before being inducted into the NCHA Hall of Fame in 2017.
Like her partner, the catwalk queen has also loved horses since she was a child, but had to take a break from riding due to her Lyme disease.
She is believed to have been on her way to becoming an Olympic-level equestrian when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2013.
Last month, a source told Us Weekly that the model, 27, and her rodeo star lover, 35, see their relationship “going all the way.”
But since then, Hadid has been able to get back to riding and competing in the sport she has lived her entire life.
Previously, the supermodel dated Marc Kalman from 2020 to 2023 and The Weeknd, whom she began dating on and off from 2015 to 2019.
