Bella Hadid shares rare photos from her private life as she celebrates her 29th birthday in Texas with her rodeo star boyfriend amid rising health fears

by

Bella Hadid recently posted some personal photos from her birthday celebration in Texas, where she was with her boyfriend. This comes as she continues to be open about her ongoing health issues.

The supermodel shared a look at her birthday celebrations with fans on Instagram this Wednesday, as she turned 29.

She gave fans a glimpse into her personal life, sharing photos from a trip to Texas with her boyfriend, 36-year-old Adan Banuelos, who is a professional rodeo rider.

Bella enjoyed a busy day at the rodeo, riding and caring for horses. She also tried her hand at karaoke and spent some relaxing time outdoors with Adan.

Elsewhere Bella shared a mirror selfie as she showed off her toned physique in a white vest top.

She also showed off a delicious looking layered birthday cake and an array of gift bags. 

She shared photos and wrote that she was celebrating her birthday week. She feels incredibly thankful for her family and friends in Texas, especially as she prepares for the Victoria’s Secret show for the second year in a row, feeling supported by their love.

So grateful for these precious moments. I feel incredibly loved, even when things are tough. Feeling lucky and blessed to be 29!

Bella and Adan started dating near the end of 2023. This happened after Bella moved to Texas, which she saw as a fresh start for both her love life and herself.

In a 2024 interview with Allure, she explained that after a decade in the modeling industry, she felt she was investing more energy and passion than she was receiving in return.

When I’m not feeling well, I prioritize self-care. And for the first time, I’m allowing myself to be authentic and not pretend to be okay.

She explained that when people look at her photos and comment on her happiness, it’s real. She feels like even her difficult days now are better than her best days in the past.

After returning to work, the model responded to criticism about her recent runway appearance.

Following the performance, she responded to criticism about her elaborate wings in a since-deleted social media post, writing, ‘Let’s be real, those wings were heavy—but they looked amazing!’ according to The Hollywood Reporter.

As a style observer, I noticed some concern during the runway show. People were worried she looked a little unsteady on her feet while modeling – especially with those dramatic, oversized wings! It seemed like she was really working to maintain her balance as she walked.

One fan noticed she seemed a bit tense and was clearly working to keep her wings in place, but still looked fantastic.

The event happened while the model, who was recently featured on the cover of Vogue, wore a flowing white and silver outfit. The ensemble included a close-fitting corset and a pleated skirt.

Bella has publicly shared her ten-year struggle with chronic Lyme disease. This illness has caused a range of neurological issues for her, including headaches, difficulty concentrating (often called “brain fog”), increased sensitivity to light and sound, inflammation, and numbness.

I just admire how open she is about everything, especially her struggles with depression and anxiety. It’s so brave of her to share that with the world, and honestly, it makes me connect with her even more. It’s like, she’s real, you know? It’s incredibly inspiring to see someone I look up to be so honest about dealing with mental health, it makes me feel less alone too.

I was completely floored when she posted on World Mental Health Day. It was just a screenshot of a text message starting with ‘Hi. Sorry I haven’t texted you back,’ but it hit me so hard. It perfectly showed that quiet, internal battle so many of us with anxiety face – that feeling of just… being unable to respond, even when you want to. It felt so raw and real, and honestly, it meant the world to me.

Earlier this month, she openly shared on Instagram about how challenging her struggles with mental health have been.

She explained that anxiety and depression can feel incredibly overwhelming, leaving people unable to function and suffering in silence.

I’ve come to realize that being sensitive isn’t a flaw, but simply who I am. My ability to feel deeply, understand others, and connect with their emotions can actually be a strength.
