Bella Hadid hard launches romance with equestrian Adan Banuelos
Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos are now Instagram official!
On Friday, the 27-year-old supermodel posted several throwback photos from her October 2023 birthday party — the same month that she was first linked to the famed equestrian, 34 — on her social media page.
In one of the snaps, Banuelos can be seen standing alongside the brunette beauty as she’s presented with a colorful two-tier birthday cake.
Although both of them are looking away from the camera, the horse trainer is seen holding onto one of the model’s hands and placing his other arm around her back as she sits beside him.
Hadid also posted a short clip of the pair sitting next to one another at a picnic table, with the model looking lovingly at Banuelos before leaning in for a sweet kiss.
“October 9, 2023,” she captioned the carousel. “My 27th Birthday🎈🫶🏼.”
The couple matched in black cowboy hats and both opted for hints of denim, with Hadid wearing an off-the-shoulder jean top and black pants while Banuelos went full cowboy in jeans, a button-up shirt and western belt.
The low-key birthday party seemed to be thrown inside a farm stable, which is the perfect spot for the horse-loving duo.
The table, set up in the middle of the hay-covered floor, was adorned with bouquets of pink-and-yellow flowers and the small group seemingly dined on some good ol’ southern comfort food.
Although it’s unclear how long the pair have been dating, they were first romantically linked just one week after the birthday bash when TMZ caught them kissing while out on a stroll in Texas.
The twosome looked every bit in love as they walked hand-in-hand through the streets of Fort Worth, stopping to share a passionate kiss while waiting to cross an intersection.
At one point, Hadid could be seen leaning her head onto Banuelos’ chest before rubbing his midsection.
The loved-up interaction came just a few months after the model ended her two-year relationship with Marc Kalman.

“They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things,” a source told ET in July 2023.
“Bella is a very nice person, but struggles with the pressures of fame,” they added. “She has been trying to take care of herself since their split.”
Around the same time as their split, Hadid revealed that she was taking a step back from her modeling career while battling Lyme disease.
Although she hasn’t given an update on her condition in a few months, she recently graced the cover of Perfect magazine — her first modeling gig since announcing her break from the business.
It seems that Hadid has been enjoying the slower pace of life while down in the south with Banuelos, who runs a business just outside of Forth Worth.
In fact, like her horse rider beau, Hadid recently returned to competitive equestrianism and often posts about her big wins in the ring on Instagram.
Last month, she seemingly teased her romance with Banuelos by posting a photo of the pair — whose faces were cut off — holding hands after a competition.
She also included a video from the event in which Banuelos could be seen seemingly coaching her from the sidelines.
The horse trainer also posted a couple clips from the day to his own Instagram, writing, “Proud of our girl ✨.”
