Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos’ love story has come to an end. Entertainment Tonight reported that the two, who were first romantically involved in October 2023, have quietly separated. The outlet didn’t specify exactly when the relationship ended, but a source spoke about what’s going through Hadid’s mind as she moves on.
“Bella has been doing her best to stay positive and take her mind off things since their breakup,” a source said. “She’s busy with work and spending time with close friends. It was a very serious relationship, so she’s still processing the breakup.”

Hadid was recently spotted promoting “The Beauty” at the FX show’s New York City premiere on January 14th.
She posted an Instagram Story yesterday titled “God’s Timing Always Wins,” sharing a new post of herself on a tropical vacation.
During their relationship, Hadid and Banuelos occasionally spoke publicly about their romance, but mostly kept it private. In August 2024, Banuelos, a Texas-based cowboy, told the podcast “Along for the Ride” that Hadid moved into a fifth-wheel trailer with him. “That was cool because I wanted that to be a part of our relationship,” he said. “You start to have feelings for someone and you start thinking, ‘Oh, this could be the rest of my life here,’ and then you find out that she’s that simple, and that material things don’t matter, or are the most important thing.”
“Words cannot express how happy I am. Words cannot express how lucky I am. This young woman is one of the kindest, big-hearted, gentlest people I have ever met. I mean, I didn’t know God created them that way.”
In May 2025, Hadid spoke about Banuelos in an interview with British Vogue, recalling how she met Banuelos at a local Texas horse show when she had just moved to Texas with her mother at a low point in her life.
“When I saw him come in, it was like a breath of fresh air,” she said. “So he basically came in and walked into the exhibit hall, which is where we do the whole show. I was wearing a cowboy hat. I just saw him and thought, this is it…I’ve always wanted a cowboy,” she added with a laugh. “And he’s gorgeous, so let me tell you something.”
She gushed about his accomplishments, saying, “He’s the youngest Mexican cowboy ever inducted into the Hall of Fame. He works for his family, he works for his customers, he works with the hope that one day he’ll start a home and a family.”
She also talked about her dreams of becoming a parent. “I can’t wait to be a mom. I think I’m somebody to a lot of people, but to be able to be someone really close and dependable all the time is going to change my life. And I can’t wait. Growing up, I never thought, ‘Oh, this is how I see marriage.'” I have a vision of being a mom. But it got to the point where I was like: It’s for me. ‘If you do that, I think you’ll be truly happy.’ ”
