Supermodel Bella Hadid and professional equestrian Adan Banuelos have reportedly ended their two-year romantic relationship, according to sources speaking to Entertainment Tonight. The split, which occurred recently, marks a significant personal transition for the 28-year-old model who had been openly embracing a quieter life in Texas with her partner.
Emotional Aftermath for the Supermodel
A source close to the situation revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Hadid is finding the breakup particularly challenging, describing the split as emotionally significant given the serious nature of their commitment. 'She's still processing it,' the insider disclosed, noting that the pair's bond had been 'very serious' throughout their time together.
According to the same source, Hadid has been leaning heavily into her professional work and surrounding herself with close friends as she navigates the aftermath. The model is reportedly making a conscious effort to stay busy and maintain a positive outlook during this period of adjustment.
Relationship Timeline and Public Appearances
The former couple first sparked dating rumours in October 2023 when they were spotted together in Texas. At that time, Hadid was frequently seen attending rodeo events and spending extended periods in the state, signalling a shift toward a more grounded lifestyle away from the constant spotlight of high fashion.
By February 2024, the relationship had become public on social media platforms, with Hadid sharing affectionate snapshots of the pair wearing matching cowboy hats. Throughout their time together, Hadid spoke openly about how grounding the relationship felt, particularly as she balanced her fashion commitments with time spent away from the public eye.
Hadid's Recent Life Changes and Priorities
The split represents another personal transition for Hadid, who has been increasingly candid in recent years about prioritizing her health, well-being, and inner circle. This follows her decision to step back from nonstop modeling schedules and embrace a more balanced approach to life and work.
In an interview with Allure magazine back in April 2024, Hadid announced she would be taking a step back from modeling after moving to Texas with her 'partner.' 'For the first time now, I'm 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 explained during the conversation.
'And I've never had the opportunity to do that or say that before,' she continued. 'Now when anybody sees me in pictures and they say, I look happy, I genuinely am. I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days.'
Banuelos' Professional Background
Adan Banuelos is an accomplished cowboy and professional horse trainer who competes on the equestrian circuit. His achievements include being voted into the National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Fame at age 28, making him the youngest individual ever to receive this honour.
Despite the reported split, both Hadid and Banuelos continue to follow each other on Instagram, maintaining at least a digital connection following their romantic separation. Neither party has publicly addressed the breakup at this time, and representatives for Hadid have not responded to requests for comment from media outlets.
The Daily Mail confirmed they reached out to Hadid's representatives for comment but had not received a response at the time of reporting. The absence of public statements from either individual leaves the exact circumstances and current status of their relationship somewhat ambiguous, though sources indicate the romantic connection has definitively ended.
