Her clarification comes just weeks prior to the beginning of fashion week 2023 which kicks off at the start of September.

Adding to the caption Gigi said: “I’m so proud of her and excited for her ✨comeback✨ whenever she feels ready 😊x.”

Bella along with her mam, Yolanda and brother, Anwar, was diagnosed with Lyme disease back in 2012. Bella has been incredibly open discussing the disease and its effects on her and her body over the last decade since her diagnosis.

She founded wellness drinks brand Kin Euphorics in the hope of improving her symptoms as well as her mental health. She also decided to try her hand at sobriety to aid in her treatment as well. She has been on her sobriety journey for the past 10 months. She told Harper’s Bazaar back in January that cutting alcohol from her life has helped her immensely.

She said: “I realised, I just wake up every morning and take it moment by moment. I realised I could have a glass of champagne tonight if I wanted to. I took one sip and immediately looked at my boyfriend. I immediately knew that it didn’t make me feel better.”
