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 pictures of her younger sibling, 28, looking blissful while enjoying a day at one of Disney’s theme parks.
The first image showed Bella giving Mickey Mouse a big hug, alongside a sweet message describing the Vogue cover girl as ‘the sweetest sister and auntie in the world.’
‘Wishing you a year of more joy & adventure,’ Gigi continued. ‘I love you!’
The second picture, shared by Gigi, showed Bella walking around The Happiest Place on Earth rocking a plain white t-shirt and a gingham midi skirt.

In May while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, Bella reflected on their sisterhood.
‘It’s inevitable to fight but it’s always to know that you’re going to come back from it,’ she said.
She continued: ‘That’s what’s so important about my sister and I is going through life like we were best friends and regular sister stuff, like stealing clothes, getting the front seat and what music we’re going to listen to.’
She also noted that growing up they had very different tastes in music.
‘She was a Swiftie, I loved Lil Wayne. That was really hard for the school drives you, you know what I mean,’ Bella mused. ‘Now, I can say, I’m a Swiftie too.’
Previously, Bella raved about how close she is to Gigi, who she described as her ‘best friend, leader, teacher, [and] parter in crime’ in a post shared to Instagram on Gigi’s 25th birthday back in 2020.
‘I wouldn’t be able to do this life without you by my side! Thank you for being the greatest big sister to me that 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 one-year anniversary with her cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos.

Last month, a source told Us Weekly that the model, 27, and her rodeo star lover, 35, both see their relationship ‘going the distance.’
‘She loves supporting Adan at his rodeos and couldn’t be prouder to be by his side,’ the insider told the outlet of how Bella enjoys watching him work with horses.
Like Banuelos, ‘one of Bella’s greatest loves is horses’ and their shared passion for equestrianism 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 insider noted that both Bella’s mom, Yolanda Hadid, and older sister, Gigi Hadid, are ‘really happy’ she’s ‘in such a great place.’
In addition to her family ‘fully’ 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 seen kissing in Fort Worth, Texas.

In September, Hadid shared a loved-up slideshow featuring her and Banuelos the Teton Ridge Gansevoort Street Event in New York City, where they showed off their riding skills.
Banuelos – who was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Fame at age 28 – recently gushed to W Magazine that ‘it wasn’t for horses’ he would ‘have never met the love of’ his life.
‘It’s a passion that her whole family shares,’ Adan continued. ‘I was just a lucky guy that said hi. I didn’t really know who I was saying hi to.’
He further gushed, ‘I just knew, she’s gorgeous. And if I would’ve known, I probably would’ve stuttered my way right out it.’
She continued: ‘That’s what’s so important about my sister and I is going through life like we were best friends and regular sister stuff, like stealing clothes, getting the front seat and what music we’re going to listen to’
Last month in August, Adan also talked about how the model had moved into his fifth wheel trainer RV during an episode of the Along For The Ride podcast. ‘She did do the 5th wheel, happily. It was bada**.’
‘It was cool because I really wanted that to be a part of our relationship. You know, you start having feelings for somebody and you start thinking things like, “Man, maybe this is the rest of my life here.”‘
He added, ‘And knowing that she is that simple of a human being [and] that the material things aren’t important – or the most important thing.’
Banuelos later said, ‘I’m working on building a home. It’s gonna take me a little bit, but she bought something that was a good investment for her.’

‘Man, I can’t tell you how happy I am. I can’t tell you how fortunate I am,’ Adan raved when talking about their relationship.
‘This young lady is one of the kindest, biggest-hearted and sweet person I’ve [ever met]. I mean I didn’t know God made ’em like that.’
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 spotted Hadid a few times this year, including in March when she cheered on Banuelos at Arlington’s annual rodeo.
Among his many accolades, the Mexican-American horse rider 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 had a love for horses since she was a child, but had to take a break from riding due to her Lyme disease.
It’s believed that she was on her way to being 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, both see their relationship ‘going the distance’
But since then Hadid has been able to make it back to her riding and competing in the sport she has lived for a lifetime.
Previously, the supermodel dated Marc Kalman from 2020 to 2023 and The Weeknd, who she began dating on and off from 2015 to 2019.
