Gigi Hadid was feeling the familial love as she celebrated her 29th birthday earlier this week, April 23.
Early Tuesday afternoon, the model’s younger sister, Bella, commemorated Gigi’s birthday with a glowing Instagram post that included a reference to The Princess Diaries movies: 'Happy birthday princess of genovia I love you so much.'

The Kin Euphorics cofounder continued with her tribute, adding, 'Life without you would be nothing, I would be nothing! You inspire me and make me feel strong. Watching you give birth and then raise the most perfect angel is the most magical gift a sister could ask for. I feel so lucky. You are the best & coolest mama, best sister, best daughter, and best friend. Anyone who has the privilege to be in your orbit is lucky, indeed! I love you sissy, you make me feel proud to be your sister. I’m obsessed with you in every single way! @gigihadid my jelly, giggles, sissy pantelones for life.'
Along with this sweet caption, Bella included photos of herself and Gigi over the years, including snaps of them as kids, hugging and taking naps together, as well as more recent shots that captured the two models getting their beauty done backstage or posing in their runway-ready fits.
Bella followed up the post with another carousel, which she captioned, “Built in best friend ™️ Birthday girl @gigihadid.”
Gigi also got some recognition on mom Yolanda’s Instagram page, where the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star included her own set of throwbacks and wrote, '❤️Happy birthday my love, cheers to another journey around the sun…. I pray that each day love, health, and happiness will come your way. It has been an honor to walk this journey of life with you, the highs the lows and everything in between! Thank you for being an extraordinary daughter to me and incredible mother to khai, as you know she is the absolute greatest gift and joy in our family. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished and for being the resilient young woman that you are while navigating life with kindness and grace. I love you my Gigi 🦋.'
Then, to round things out, younger brother Anwar posted a childhood pic on his Instagram Story, which he captioned (with the succinctness befitting a brother), 'Me and my big sister.'
