Though specific reasons for the current medical stay were not provided, Hadid had previously described being "finally healthy" following "100+ days of Lyme, chronic disease, [co-infection] treatment [and] almost 15 years of invisible suffering" during 2023, according to AOL.
Medical diagnosis of Lyme disease occurred for Hadid during 2012, affecting both her mother, Yolanda, and younger brother Anwar. Her first public discussion about Lyme disease challenges while maintaining her modeling career took place in 2016 through an interview with People magazine.
During that interview, Hadid stated: "Life isn't always what it looks like on the outside," while noting that "the hardest part of this journey is to be judged by the way you look instead of the way you feel."
