Bella Hadid, 27, took to her Instagram to share throwback photos with her sister Gigi Hadid as she celebrates her 29th birthday on Tuesday.
The former Victoria’s Secret model posted a carousel of snaps enjoying each other’s company over the years as she called her older sister her ‘built in best friend.’
In one of the snaps, the very young sisters have their hair in matching braids as they smile to the camera while in a warm embrace.
Several of the images even reveal that Bella is a natural blonde, just like Gigi – whose father was recently under fire for calling a New York congressman ‘worse than the rats of New York sewage system’.
The throwback post was a hit as fans went wild in the comments. One penned, ‘I swear both of you were the cutest babies ever.’

‘I wish they could feel your spirit, love, maternal attributes, your laugh, your kindness, your friendship, your charisma, your generosity, your care, your time, or how it feels to have you as a mother for once second,’ she began.
‘To anyone who needs it,’ gushed Bella, ‘you are a natural giver. At your best, you are love. The world is lucky to have you in it. I love you so much mama,’ she said in the sweet tribute.
