Bella Hadid, the 27-year-old supermodel, has finally confirmed her romance with Adan Banuelos, a 32-year-old horseman and champion cutter, on Instagram. The couple, who met through Bella’s mother Yolanda Hadid, have been dating since October 2023 and are reportedly “in love” and very happy together. Here is everything you need to know about their relationship and how they balance their careers and passions.
How Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos Met
According to a source who spoke to Entertainment Tonight, Bella Hadid and Adan were introduced by Yolanda, who is also an avid equestrian and owns a farm in Pennsylvania. Yolanda thought Adan would be a good match for Bella, who shares her love for horses and riding. The source said, “Yolanda set them up and they hit it off right away. They have a lot in common and enjoy spending time together.”
How They Went Public
Bella and Adan first sparked romance rumors in October 2023, when they were spotted kissing and holding hands in Los Angeles by TMZ. At the time, Bella had just split from her previous boyfriend, art director Marc Kalman, whom she dated for over a year. However, neither Bella nor Adan confirmed their relationship status until Valentine’s Day 2024, when Bella posted a picture of them on her Instagram story, calling him her valentine. She also shared a series of throwback photos from her 27th birthday party in October 2023, where Adan was present and dressed as a cowboy. Adan also posted a picture of them on his Instagram story, writing “Happy Valentine’s Day” with a heart emoji.
Who Is Adan Banuelos
Adan Banuelos is a Mexican-American cowboy and a professional horse trainer. He specializes in cutting, a western-style equestrian sport where a rider and a horse work together to separate a single animal from a herd of cattle and keep it away for a short period of time. Adan is one of the best in his field, having won several championships and awards. He was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Fame in 2017, at the age of 28, making him one of the youngest ever to receive this honor. His father, Ascencion Banuelos, was also a cutting legend and the first Mexican-American to be inducted into the same hall of fame. Adan has a website where he showcases his skills and achievements, as well as his horses and clients. He also has an Instagram account where he posts videos and pictures of his competitions and training sessions.
How They Support Each Other
Bella Hadid and Adan are both very supportive of each other’s careers and passions. Bella, who is one of the most successful and sought-after models in the world, often travels for work and attends various fashion shows and events. Adan, who is based in Texas, also travels frequently for his competitions and clinics. However, they make time for each other and visit each other’s places whenever they can. Bella also attends Adan’s events and cheers him on, as seen in her Instagram posts. She also enjoys riding with him and learning from him. Adan, on the other hand, supports Bella’s modeling career and compliments her on her beauty and talent. He also accompanies her to some of her events and parties, as seen in the pictures from her birthday bash. The source told Entertainment Tonight, “Bella loves how supportive Adan is of her career and fits into her life. He is very down-to-earth and humble, and he makes her laugh.”
