Bella Hadid and her new boyfriend, Adan Banuelos, were recently spotted enjoying time together in Texas. The couple attended the American Performance Horseman event at the Globe Life Field in Arlington. This event, organized by Teton Ridge, is a new addition to the annual American Rodeo, featuring equestrian competitions like cutting, reined cow horse, and reining, with participants vying for a $1 million prize.
Hadid, a 27-year-old model, sported a country-inspired look at the event, donning a black wide-rimmed cowgirl hat, a glittery open-back top, and a Western-style turquoise and silver necklace. Her boyfriend, Banuelos, a 34-year-old Mexican-American equestrian, also embraced the theme by wearing a cowboy hat.
The couple's relationship became public in October 2023, with photos of them kissing in Fort Worth, Texas, shared by TMZ. They recently celebrated Valentine's Day together, with Hadid, an avid horseback rider, posting a picture of Banuelos riding a horse while she stood beside him.
Hadid's appearance at the event follows her return to modeling after a hiatus to focus on her health. In January, she graced the covers of Perfect Magazine's Spring/Summer 2024 issue and also art-directed the photo shoot. Inspired by Debbie Harry of Blondie, Hadid's look for the magazine featured heavy blush, hoop earrings, and black underwear.
In August 2023, Hadid announced her break from modeling, citing over a decade of health struggles, including Lyme disease and chronic illness. She expressed gratitude for her mother, Yolanda Hadid, for her unwavering support throughout her health journey.
Reflecting on her challenges, Hadid emphasized the importance of being judged by how one feels rather than looks. She shared her journey of overcoming invisible suffering and expressed pride in her resilience and determination.
