Bella Hadid is one of the most iconic models on the runway, and over time, she has become a true symbol in the fashion industry, constantly in the media spotlight. Recently, she confirmed that she is in a new relationship.
Romance rumors began in 2023, and shortly after, they made their relationship official following her breakup with art director Marc Kalman. She and her ex-partner had been dating for a few years, but it didn’t really work out.
Their connection was thanks to Yolanda Hadid, and since then, they have become inseparable. The luxury fashion model even moved to Texas to spend more time with Adan Banuelos and share in his profession.
Who is Adan Banuelo?
Adan Banuelos was born in Fort Worth, Texas and is currently 35 years old. He has had a childhood shaped by his connection to horses and equestrianism, with his father being partly responsible for this.
He is a prominent professional rider of Mexican and American descent, specializing in cutting, an equestrian discipline that involves separating an animal from a herd and keeping it isolated.
His connection to the sport is deep, as his father, Ascencion Banuelos (the first Mexican-American to be inducted into the Hall of Fame), is also a member of the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Hall of Fame.

The model’s boyfriend was inducted into this hall of fame in 2017, making him one of the youngest to achieve this honor. He was the leading rider for the NCHA in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Thanks to this, he has accumulated a significant amount of money, over $5 million in prize money alone throughout his career with horses up to the present. But his passion doesn’t stop there… he also runs his own company.
