Bella's Joyful Return to the Spotlight

Bella Hadid is back with a smile after a whirlwind few weeks. The supermodel recently faced a Lyme disease hospitalization in September but made a stunning comeback on the Victoria's Secret runway. Sandwiched between these events was her 29th birthday, celebrated on October 9 with a heartwarming gathering in Texas alongside her boyfriend, Adan Banuelos, and his family.

Celebrating in Style

On Wednesday, Bella shared a delightful gallery from her week-long Texas birthday celebration, offering fans a peek into her personal world. The first image showed Bella beaming next to a beautifully decorated cake. But the most touching moment came in the next photo, where she formed a heart with Ascension Banuelos, Adan's legendary father.

“Flying straight from this kind of Love into the VS show two years in a row …. Makes me feel so grateful for my Texas family and loved ones…” Bella expressed in her post.

A Legendary Family Connection

Ascension Banuelos, a celebrated figure in the horse-riding community, is credited with introducing Adan to the world of cutting horses. Ascension's inspiring journey began at 13 when he left his 13 siblings and crossed the U.S. border alone from Lobatos, Mexico, to pursue his dreams. His perseverance paid off, earning him a historic place in the NCHA Hall of Fame as the first Mexican American inductee.

Three Years of Love

This marks the third birthday Bella has spent with Adan and his family. Other snapshots from the celebration captured candid moments, like Adan playfully holding a bunch of red balloons and sharing a quiet moment with his dad. Bella's connection with Adan's family is evident, as she affectionately referred to herself as a "rancho horse girl" in the captions.

Health Scare and Resilience

Bella's birthday festivities followed a challenging period due to her Lyme disease flare-up in September. Nevertheless, she returned to the spotlight on October 15, walking the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway. Some fans expressed concern online, noticing Bella seemed emotional.

In response to a TikTok user's comment, Bella candidly shared, “Girl, I got my period that morning and my stamina is not up yet after the whole hospital sitch. But I tried my best and I LOVEEEE you for this. I’m OK, I swear," reassuring her fans with her trademark openness.
