Bella Hadid’s recent hiatus from the modeling world has sparked curiosity among fans, but in a candid interview, the 27-year-old supermodel shed light on her decision to take a step back and gave a glimpse into her blossoming romance with boyfriend Adan Banuelos.
In a conversation with Allure, Bella shared insights into her journey of self-discovery and prioritizing her well-being over her career. “After 10 years of modeling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn’t necessarily giving it back to me,” she revealed, highlighting the toll it took on her mental and physical health.
Acknowledging the ups and downs of her health, Bella emphasized the importance of authenticity in her life. “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,” she asserted, expressing a newfound sense of empowerment in prioritizing self-care.
With a sense of liberation and genuine happiness, Bella shared, “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.”
Part of her journey towards holistic well-being includes her relocation to Texas and the unwavering support of her partner, Adan Banuelos. Bella made her relationship with Adan public in February 2024, and their recent appearance together in New York City sparked further interest.
Describing Adan as “my partner” and “an incredible older businessman,” Bella hinted at the positive influence he has had on her life. Their blossoming romance seems to have added a new dimension of happiness and stability to Bella’s life, complementing her journey of self-discovery and growth.
While Bella’s hiatus from modeling may have raised eyebrows, her decision to prioritize her mental and physical health reflects a commendable commitment to self-care and authenticity. As she navigates this new chapter of her life with grace and resilience, Bella’s openness about her experiences serves as an inspiration to others striving to prioritize their well-being in a demanding world.
