Supermodel Bella Hadid has shared a deeply personal tribute to her sister, Gigi Hadid, who celebrated her 31st birthday on Thursday.

Taking to Instagram, the 29-year-old Orebella founder posted a carousel of intimate images, including rare childhood throwbacks and glimpses of Gigi’s daughter, Khai.

In an emotional caption, Bella described her elder sister as her "best friend," "mentor," and "happy place." "Thank you for teaching me.

Thank you for loving me," Bella wrote, adding that watching Gigi navigate life makes her "most proud."

The birthday festivities began privately for Gigi, who revealed she spent a "chill morning" with her partner, actor Bradley Cooper.

Cooper reportedly sent a massive floral arrangement featuring peach, plum, and gold flowers to mark the occasion.

The couple, who have been romantically linked since late 2023, have recently integrated their families, with insiders noting how "happy and relaxed" Gigi appears in the relationship.

Other birthday wishes poured in from their mother, Yolanda Hadid, who praised Gigi for being an "extraordinary mother" and a "beautiful daughter" in her own social media dedication.

On the professional front, Gigi remains a dominant force in the industry, having recently opened the Ralph Lauren Fall 2026 show in New York this February.

She also continues to influence lifestyle trends, with her Manhattan apartment’s "burnt orange" aesthetic being named a top interior design trend for 2026.

Both sisters continue to balance their high-profile careers with their close family bond, which Bella summarised by stating, "I love you so much it hurts, my sissy pants!"
