As I delve deeper into this heartwarming tale of love and horses, I can’t help but be moved by the genuine connection between Adan Banuelos and Bella Hadid. It’s not often we come across such a beautifully harmonious pair, where two souls from different worlds seem to find common ground in their shared passion for equestrianism.


On her Instagram, Gigi Hadid posted a heartfelt birthday message for her sibling Bella Hadid, showcasing unseen images captured during one of their recent escapades.

On hump day, the 29-year-old supermodel posted two joyous snaps of her 28-year-old sibling having a whale of a time at one of Disney’s amusement parks.

In the initial picture, Bella is seen warmly embracing Mickey Mouse, accompanied by a heartfelt caption that addresses her as the “sweetest sibling and auntie one could ever ask for” on a Vogue cover.

‘Wishing you a year of more joy & adventure,’ Gigi continued. ‘I love you!’

In the second image that Gigi posted, you can see Bella strolling through “The Happiest Place on Earth” wearing a simple white top and a gingham midi skirt.

In May while appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show, Bella reflected on their sisterhood. 

She remarked, “It’s unavoidable to face struggles, yet it’s reassuring to know that you’ll emerge from them stronger.

She continued: ‘That’s what’s so important about my sister and I is going through life like we were best friends and regular sister stuff, like stealing clothes, getting the front seat and what music we’re going to listen to.’

She also noted that growing up they had very different tastes in music.  

Bella thought out loud, “She was a fan of Taylor Swift, but I preferred Lil Wayne. Adapting to the school’s ways was quite tough, you get the drift.” Now, I can confess, I’m a fan of Taylor Swift as well.

In a post for Gigi’s 25th birthday on Instagram in 2020, Bella praised their friendship, referring to Gigi as her ‘closest friend, guide, mentor, and partner-in-crime’.

I couldn’t live my life without you next to me, Bella expressed warmly. Thank you for being an exceptional big sister to me.

Currently, Bella is flourishing on both a professional and personal level, having just marked her first anniversary with her cowboy partner, Adan Banuelos.

Last month, a source told Us Weekly that the model, 27, and her rodeo star lover, 35, both see their relationship ‘going the distance.’ 

The source revealed that Bella takes great pleasure in backing Adan during his rodeo events and feels nothing but pride to stand beside him. This is because she delights in observing him handle horses, according to the report.

Just like Banuelos, Bella has a profound love for horses, and their mutual affection for equestrian activities strengthens the bond between them.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I can share that I’ve heard from another reliable source that Bella has embraced her understated lifestyle change wholeheartedly. She feels a profound sense of security in her bond with Adan, which is truly heartwarming.

Furthermore, the source mentioned that Bella’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, as well as her elder sister, Gigi Hadid, are ‘extremely pleased’ to see her in such a ‘favorable condition’.

Besides her family being completely supportive of their relationship, the source mentioned that Bella’s relatives have rarely witnessed her as content or joyful with another man as she is now.

In October 2023, the two lovebirds were spotted affectionately exchanging kisses in Fort Worth, Texas, marking the beginning of their romantic connection.

In September, Hadid posted a heartwarming series of photos on social media, depicting herself and Banuelos at the Teton Ridge Gansevoort Street Event in New York City, demonstrating their impressive equestrian abilities together.

At the age of 28, Banuelos, who was honored in the National Cutting Horse Association Riders Hall of Fame, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to W Magazine, stating that without horses, he would not have had the pleasure of meeting the person he cherishes most as his life partner.

Adan went on, “It’s something we all in the family are deeply fond of.” He added, “I merely happened to greet her. I must admit, I wasn’t aware who exactly I was addressing at the time.

He continued to praise her, saying, “I instinctively knew she was beautiful. If I had known, I might have struggled to find the words to express it.

During a recent episode of the Along For The Ride podcast last month in August, Adan shared that he had transitioned his model into his fifth wheel trailer RV. He expressed her enthusiasm for this move, saying it was quite impressive.

‘It was exciting since I deeply desired it to become an integral aspect of our bond. In a way, when strong emotions develop for someone, thoughts like, “Perhaps this is where my future lies,” often cross your mind.’

He commented, ‘Given that she is so straightforward in her nature, and that worldly possessions hold little significance for her – or perhaps nothing compares to what truly matters most.’

Later on, I found myself immersed in the process of constructing my own home. It’s going to require some time, but I made a wise decision by investing in a property that will serve her well.

Adan was beaming with joy as they spoke about their relationship, expressing how incredibly grateful they felt.

This young woman is incredibly kind, with a heart as vast as the ocean. She’s so sweet that she seems almost otherworldly – as if she were crafted by God himself.

It’s said that Hadid has reportedly relocated partially to Fort Worth, apparently to be nearer her partner, as suggested by the Austin American-Statesman.

Residents of North Texas have seen Hadid on several occasions this year, one being in March when she supported Banuelos at the yearly rodeo in Arlington.

Known for numerous achievements, this exceptional Mexican-American equestrian is particularly recognized as the 2020 Futurity Champion. He was also awarded the title of Rider Of The Year an impressive four times, across four distinct years, before being enshrined in the NCHA Hall of Fame in 2017.

Just like her partner, the catwalk queen developed an affinity for horses as a child that’s persisted to this day. Unfortunately, due to her Lyme disease, she has had to pause her equestrian activities.

2013 saw her receiving a diagnosis of Lyme disease, which appeared to put a halt to her journey towards becoming an elite equestrian contender at the Olympics.

However, since then, Hadid has managed to return to her passion for horseback riding and competing, a pursuit she’s devoted her life to.

In the past, this supermodel had relationships with Marc Kalman from 2020 until 2023, and with The Weeknd, whom she was involved with intermittently from 2015 to 2019.
