What would you do if you ran into supermodel Bella Hadid at the gym or grocery store?
Hadid has opened up about why she recently moved to Texas from New York − and the reason may surprise you.
Where does Bella Hadid live?
The rumors are true: Bella Hadid now lives in Fort Worth, Texas.
North Texans have spotted Hadid, 27, at least a couple of times so far this year. In March, she cheered on her partner, professional horseman and trainer Adan Banuelos, at Arlington's annual rodeo.
Hadid has proven herself off the runway. Her competitive spirit prompted her to try her hand in various events throughout North Texas, including an equestrian and cutting horse competition in January, the Dallas Observer reports. Hadid finished in eighth place.

Though Hadid is known today for her modeling career, she also has experience − and talent − with equestrian sports. She was on her way to the Olympic level when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2013.

During an interview with Allure magazine, Hadid shared her motivations for moving to Fort Worth.
"After 10 years of modeling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that… wasn't necessarily giving it back to me."
In addition to Lyme disease, Hadid has also begun to share her struggles with mental health. Amid muscle aches and pains, severe anxiety and brain fog, the supermodel decided she needed change.
Despite her absence on the runway, Hadid has continued to fill a role as a businesswoman. She's recently launched Ôrəbella, pronounced "aura-bella," as her own fragrance line and a nod to her Arab roots. Hadid admitted to Allure that traditional perfumes often make her skin break out, which led her to explore alternatives using essential oils mixed with glycerin.
