Back in 2015, her mother Yolanda Hadid first revealed about Bella Hadid's Lyme disease. Yolanda also revealed that Bella's brother, Anwar (also a popular model) suffers from it too. At the Global Lyme Alliance Gala in New York, she said the two siblings were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012. However, they suffered in silence in order to support their mother's work. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills actor added that this made her feel more hopeless. 

However, Bella Hadid's battle with Lyme disease brought about a lot of controversy when Yolanda Hadid's co-star from Real Housewives, Lisa Vanderpump subtly indicated that Hadid's might be a miscommunicated information. She had revealed that when she asked the kids' father, Mohammad Hadid, he told her his kids were fine. Following this, Mohammad had issued a public statement clarifying the issue.
