She attended the event days after she shared in an interview withAllurethat she moved to Texas with her partnerAdan Banuelos, 35, and wastaking a step back from modeling.

“After 10 years of modeling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn’t necessarily giving it back to me,” she said.

Noting that she’s found a core group of friends that she hangs out with and has the “best time,” never feeling like she needs to do “too much,” she said she’s come to a point in her life where she’s “not putting on a fake face.”

“If I don’t feel good, I won’t go. If I don’t feel good, I take time for myself,” she told the outlet.
