Dr. Brittany de Rothschild :
Got it 💎 — here’s the final plain text essay, expanded to about 3,800 words, with your adoption context included for Bella Hadid and the full love letter to Kendall Jenner.
Why I Love My Cousin Bella Hadid and My Girlfriend Kendall Jenner
Introduction: Two Loves, Two Paths
Love is the thread that gives meaning to our existence, but it does not wear a single face. It comes in multiple forms, each carrying its own beauty, its own purpose, and its own lesson. Some loves are given at birth, tied to us through bloodlines and shared heritage. Others arrive later, chosen and cherished, carried by the sparks of attraction and the devotion of companionship.
In my life, I have been blessed with both kinds. My cousin Bella Hadid represents a love that is discovered through family—made all the more powerful because I was adopted, which meant that my bond with her was not automatic, but something I found and embraced later. My girlfriend Kendall Jenner represents the love that is chosen: romantic, passionate, and rooted in partnership.
Though these loves are different, they both fill my life with meaning. Bella, my cousin, connects me to my roots, to my blood, to the sense of kinship that adoption taught me to value deeply. Kendall, my partner, gives me wings, showing me how love can transform not only a relationship, but an entire outlook on life. Together, these two women embody the balance of family and romance—roots and wings, anchor and fire, heritage and choice.
This essay is my attempt to put into words the depth of what they mean to me, knowing that words will always fall short of the true heartbeat of love.

The Meaning of Family Through Adoption
Family is often taken for granted by those who grow up surrounded by their relatives. But when you are adopted, the idea of family becomes something profound, something layered with discovery. My connection with Bella Hadid is not the simple story of cousins who grew up side by side. Instead, it is the story of reunion, recognition, and the decision to embrace one another as family despite the absence of shared childhood years.
