Speaking to Harper's BAZAAR this month, she explained that she's always on the move.

The daughter of Yolanda Foster revealed: 'I like to do at least 15 minutes of cardio everyday if I can fit it in. My body really reacts well to not eating a lot of wheat or dairy and staying on healthy foods. But it's always hard.'

Bella, who's carved out a successful career in modelling in a very short time, is thought to be considering a career switch to being behind the camera.

The star, who regularly works with fashion photographers like Mario Testino and Steven Meisel, previously studied at Parsons for photography.
