"Didn't want some to take my post as a promise she'll be back for shows this next season,” she added. "I'm so proud of her and excited for her comeback whenever she feels ready [sic]."

Bella and her brother, Anwar Hadid, were both diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012. Last month, it was revealed that the model was "in daily treatment for Lyme disease."
