'I am proud to be a Muslim': Bella Hadid flaunts her incredible figure in a monochrome swimsuit and sheer gown as she discusses religion and her upbringing in candid interview

The half Dutch, half Palestinian beauty- who split from ex-boyfriend The Weeknd late last year, revealed she's not in a rush to get into another relationship.

'I'm just really focusing on myself, and my work, and just being the best that I can be. I'm not really worried about what guys think about me, I'm just trying to be a woman!'

'My dad was a refugee when he first came to America, so it's actually very close to home for my sister and brother and me,' she explained. 'He was always religious, and he always prayed with us. I am proud to be a Muslim.'

And while some may revel in the attention, Bella prefers a quieter life, admitting: 'It gets really overwhelming. You feel really overexposed and you don't want to see anybody... I just want to be in my apartment alone and kind of retreat and be centered again.'

The family-oriented star, whose supermodel sister Gigi paved the way for their careers on the runway, also revealed that there's no sibling rivalry,

'People think we're the same and that we've been working just as long, but I'm two years behind her. I still have a long time to catch up!'

Porter magazine is on sale from April 7.
