Supermodel Bella Hadid reveals she's found a new sense of contentment since relocating to Texas with partner Adan Banuelos. 

In a recent interview with Allure, Hadid opened up about stepping back from modelling and focusing on her happiness.

“After 10 years of modelling, I realised I was pouring so much into something that wasn't necessarily reciprocating," she explained.  

Hadid finds her life in Texas refreshingly different, enjoying simple nights out with close friends and no longer feeling pressured to put on appearances.

"I'm not putting on a fake face anymore," she says. "This is the first time I can truly prioritise myself and my well-being."  

Hadid's newfound focus comes after years of privately battling health challenges. 

In 2022, the model walked the Coperni runway in a viral spray-painted dress, but behind the scenes, she openly discussed her struggle with Lyme disease.

Now, Hadid celebrates feeling "finally healthy" and channels her creative energy into new ventures like Orebella, her debut fragrance collection. 

 Inspired by her love of mixing essential oils, Orebella's unique scents are designed to be applied directly to the skin, offering a personal touch.

"I wanted to create something that felt unique and true to me," Hadid told Allure. "This wasn't just about launching another product; it's sharing something I'm truly passionate about."
