Supermodel Bella Hadid steps back from the modelling world

Supermodel Bella Hadid has shared that she is taking a step back from her glamorous career and starting anew in Texas with her ‘partner’ Adan Banuelo. “After 10 years of modelling, I realised I was putting so much energy and effort into something that, in the longer run, wasn’t necessarily giving back to me,” Hadid said.

She shared that her life in Texas was different from how it was before, as she had found a strong group of friends that she hung out with and she had the ‘best time’ever. She never felt like she needed to do ‘too much’ when it came to getting herself ready for a night out with them. “For the first time now, I’m not putting on a fake face. If I don’t feel good, I won’t go. If I don’t feel good, I take time for myself… And I’ve never had the opportunity to do that or say that before,” she said. “Now when anybody sees me in pictures and they say, I look happy, I genuinely am. I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days,” the 27-year-old supermodel added.

In the past year, Hadid had quietly been working on her mental and physical health. She had even spoken about her battle with Lyme disease on social media and had shared that she was ‘finally healthy’.
