Bella Hadid is opening up in a rare reveal how she crossed paths with her “cowboy” boyfriend, Adan Banuelos.
In an interview with British Vogue, the 28-year-old American model talked about her relationship with Adan, a decorated Mexican-American equestrian, whom she met after relocating to Texas to overcome a chronic illness.
Bella, who called moving to Texas “self-care,” shared, “I’m with my stepdad. We move cows, we’re on trail rides, and I’m starting to feel a little better, but just still dealing with my own stuff. Then, the next day, I meet my boyfriend.”
The model saw Adan for the first time at a horse show, as she recalled, “I saw him walk in and it was like a gust of fresh air. So he basically came in, walked into the exhibit hall, which is where we do all of the show stuff. I was getting a cowboy hat fitted. I just saw him and I was like that’s the… I always wanted the cowboy."
"And he’s pretty gorgeous, let me tell you something,” she remarked.
“He’s the youngest Mexican cowboy to ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame. He works for his family, he works for his customers and he works to hopefully build a home and a family one day,” the Rock Channel actress revealed.
It is pertinent to mention that Bella and Adan made their relationship in October 2023, when they were spotted getting romantic in Forth Worth, Texas.
