Bella Hadid battled Lyme disease, reveals mom Yolanda Foster

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster isn't the only member of her family to have had a brush with Lyme disease.

At the Global Lyme Alliance inaugural gala on Thursday night Foster revealed that two of her children, model Bella Hadid and Anwar Hadid were diagnosed just a few years ago.

Speaking at the event, Foster talked about her family's struggles with the disease (via People):

"When my two youngest children, Bella and Anwar, were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012, watching my babies struggle in silence in order to support me in my journey, struck the deepest core of hopelessness inside of me."

Foster, who was also diagnosed with lyme disease in 2012 and at one point lost the ability to read because of it, received the Power of One award at the event. She dedicated it to her children:

"This award is for Anwar and Bella. This is my token and my promise to you that I will not allow you to live a life of pain and suffering. I will walk to the end of the earth to find a cure so that you can live a healthy life that you deserve. No child should suffer the way that you do ... I thank you both for your extraordinary selflessness during this journey. Your unwavering love and compassion has kept me alive and fighting through the darkest days of my life. ... I am so sorry for all the important things I have missed in your life these past four years. I used to be a pretty cool, smart, multi-tasking, kickass mom. But all three of you, all three of my children really got short-changed with a dumb blonde in the white robe, that mostly lives her life in bed,"
