Gigi Hadid is celebrating her sister Bella Hadid’s 29th birthday in the sweetest way possible.
On Thursday, October 9, Gigi, 30, shared a heartfelt tribute to her younger sister via Instagram Stories, posting a series of nostalgic and recent photos that perfectly captured their close bond.
The collection included several childhood memories and a few newer snaps of the two supermodels, along with an adorable photo of Bella holding Gigi’s 5-year-old daughter Khai.
“It’s @bellahadid day,” Gigi captioned the first photo, a precious reminder of the sisters sitting next to each other in matching orange and white swimsuits with scarves tied around their heads.
On the next slide, with a black and white photo of the sisters smiling together, she added, “She is our walking heart.”
The touching messages continued when Gigi shared another childhood photo of them cuddling, captioning it, “Gotta protect her at all costs.”
During a later shot of the two embracing in matching white dresses and floral headbands, she playfully reminded her followers, “You better be nice in the comments.”
In a particularly sweet shot, Bella is seen dressed in a cowgirl outfit while holding Khai.
Gigi lovingly wrote: “Most loving (and spoiled) aunt (and sister).”
The tribute ended with a black and white photo of the sisters laughing together, with Gigi adding, “Happy Birthday! I love you so much!”
The celebration follows a busy week for Bella, who recently returned to the runway at Paris Fashion Week after taking time off to recover from her hospitalization for Lyme disease.
Through Gigi’s touching tribute, one thing is clear: the Hadid sisters continue to share an unbreakable bond and support each other through every milestone, both personally and professionally.
