Bella Hadid has followed her heart, literally buying property in the Fort Worth, Texas area, close to her cowboy boyfriend, Adan Banuelos. TMZ reported that the model, who in the past was based in New York City, got a house in the rural area by Fort Worth that is “close enough to urban amenities.” Sources told TMZ that Hadid is in Texas more often than not.
Banuelos has his own place in the same area as Hadid’s, TMZ added, and the couple splits time between both residences.
Banuelos and Hadid were first romantically linked in October. Hadid’s love of horses goes much further back, though: She grew up riding them and has competed as an equestrian. That has only grown as her romance with Banuelos has progressed. Sources told TMZ that Hadid has “gone full cowgirl now.”
Hadid drew attention for her attendance at the American Performance Horseman event on March 8 in Arlington, Texas. Dressed in a cowboy hat and glittery black top, Hadid couldn’t hide her affection for Banuelos in photos of them together.
Hadid hasn’t spoken about her romance in interviews yet. She has paid tribute to Banuelos on Instagram though. She shared a grid post with him in it on February 16. They appeared kissing in one image.
The photos were actually from October 2023, adding further proof that their romance had been going on for some time privately before the public knew of it.
Hadid last dated art director Marc Kalman, debuting their relationship in July 2021. They broke up in spring 2023. The couple spent a lot of time in New York City together throughout their dating.
“They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things,” a source told Entertainment Tonight in July 2023, when news came out of the breakup. “Bella is a very nice person, but struggles with the pressures of fame. She has been trying to take care of herself since their split.”
