Bella Hadid's recent hospitalisation has cast a spotlight on a decade-long struggle with Lyme disease and the realities of living with a chronic, often invisible illness.
Bella, aged 28, posted a series of photos from what appears to be a hospital bed on 17 September 2025, showing herself hooked up to IVs, at times wearing an oxygen mask, apologising for her absence from the public eye, and expressing love to her followers.
