‘Bella wanted to be a professional horseback rider, and her dream was to go to the Olympics,’ her 57-year-old mother revealed on The Dr. Oz Show back in 2017.
‘She’s been on a horse every day of her life since she was two years old. She jumped 4ft5in courses and you need to have a very sharp brain in order to do the calculations. And she started making mistakes.’
That same year, Hadid told InStyle that she took ’30 pills’ and self-administered ‘two shots a day in the keester’ to properly function with the tick-borne illness.
The half-Palestinian, half-Dutch socialite also wished her big sister a ‘happy almost birthday’ ahead of her turning 26 on Friday, and Gigi replied: ‘Let’s gooooo!’
