Yolanda Foster's model daughter Gigi Hadid gave an update on the Beverly Hill's Housewife's battle with Lyme disease in the cutest way possible. Get the details!
There's nothing like a supportive family. And luckily for Yolanda Foster, her daughter Gigi is going above and beyond to support her mother during her struggle with Lyme disease.
The model recently sat down with People Magazine to discuss Yolanda's condition.
"She's battling a tough one, but she's helping a lot of people through her personal health journey," she told the magazine. "I think when she finally figures out how to help herself, she'll be able to help a lot of other people ... I'm very inspired."
Despite her busy schedule with modeling, the 19-year-old says she stays in touch with her mother on a regular basis.
Yolanda was initially diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, and it's been a rocky road ever since.
By early February, the Dutch beauty was reportedly having "trouble just forming sentences" and her participation in the upcoming RHOBH reunion would therefore be limited.
Yolanda opened up about her struggle with the disease earlier this year, sharing: "It feels like someone came in and confiscated my brain and tied my hands behind my back to just watch and see life go by without me participating in it."
Yolanda's husband, David Foster, has also shared his support for the reality star.
