Modeling Career
At 16, Bella broke into the fashion world with a stunning Marie Claire photoshoot alongside actor Ben Barnes called "The Swan Sittings," shot on a lake surrounded by swans.





In November 2017, Bella joined the iconic "angel descent" when she walked the runway in wings during Victoria's Secret's traditional Shanghai show. To get runway-ready, she put in about three hours daily at Gotham Gym, adding boxing sessions to her training routine.
That boxing training paid off when she landed the ambassador role for Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer. In one of its advertising campaigns, she posed with a boxing glove.
In January 2018, she landed the cover and pages of Korean Vogue with gorgeous shots featuring everything from sultry lingerie to sheer looks that highlighted her natural beauty.
Bella's December shoot for Italian Vogue had fans talking when she posed nude with American model Taylor Hill on a festive table surrounded by appetizers.



Bella Hadid's Personal Life
Bella is not married. Starting in spring 2015, she began dating musician Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd. Their romance sparked when he asked her to appear on the cover of his album "Beauty Behind the Madness."
But by November that year, they'd called it quits, with Abel reportedly ending things. He started dating Selena Gomez, leaving Bella heartbroken. By the end of 2017, The Weeknd and Gomez split. She found comfort with her ex Justin Bieber, while The Weeknd attempted a comeback with Bella, but it didn't stick.

In October 2020, Bella was rumored to be dating Jack Nicholson's grandson, upcoming actor Duke Nicholson. Bella's reps quickly shut down the rumors. She was actually seeing photographer and art director Mark Kalman.

Bella is friends with singer Dua Lipa, who once dated Bella's brother, Anwar.


Bella Hadid Now
In 2023, Bella had to step away from her career when her Lyme disease flared up again. She focused on treatment, went quiet on social media, and rekindled her love of horseback riding, finding peace with her horses. Still, Time magazine named Bella one of the world's 100 most influential people for 2023.
