Bella Hadid 'can't wait' to become a mother

Bella Hadid "can't wait" to become a mother.

The 28-year-old super model has been dating cowboy Adan Banuelos for over a year now and admitted that she is feeling broody as she described her sister Gigi as a "superhero" after watching her become mother to four-year-old daughter Khai with her ex-partner Zayn Malik.

She told the June issue of British Vogue: "Family is on my mind. I can’t wait to be a mom. I think that I’m somebody for a lot of people. But in the real intimate way of being the person that somebody can count on consistently, that will change my life for me. And I cannot wait. Khai is the best thing since sliced bread. I want to be the best auntie to her. My sister is a superhero."

Meanwhile, Bella explained that it is her "biggest dream" to open a summer camp aimed at children with her partner and they often have chats about how her "passion is philanthropy" because she wants to use her wealth and earning power to help others around the world.

She added: "Our biggest dream is to have a summer camp for children. Being in a relationship – he works so much, I work so much – we come together to have these conversations. He knows my passion is philanthropy. I think that’s where I struggle being in this world of so much stimulation. I always feel overstimulated and I wish I could just be somewhere helping everybody. I think I would wake up in the morning feeling better every day if I could wake up for somebody else, and not for something that meant that I was in a photograph or for me to make more money. I wish I could just be somebody for somebody else.”

But away from the cameras, the catwalk star is "just being a human being" herself and admitted that sometimes her global fame has an effect on her "self-confidence" but she has to just smile her way through it until the working day is done.

She said: "But beyond that, just being a human being and having to look in the mirror every single day, I think it really does something to your self-confidence and to your soul. That’s why I say the girl who’s at work is Belinda. And then the minute that I get home, I’m on the couch, that’s just Bella again. Because Belinda just does her job. She slays. She can be crying from 5am to 7am but by the time she gets to work, a smile’s on her face and she’s going to do her job and get through it. That’s Belinda for me. I get emotional thinking about it, because it’s like I have put on that alter ego for a very long time. It’s almost a mask because when I get home I am just a depletion. I’m a skeleton."
