Bella Hadid and Adan Bañuelos end their relationship after two years together

Bella Hadid and professional rider Adan Bañuelos have decided to part ways after two years marked by life changes, relocations and an intense personal connection

The love story between Bella Hadid and Adan Bañuelos has come to an end. After two years together, the supermodel and the professional rider have decided to go their separate ways, according to a source close to Entertainment Tonight. The split comes after months in which the couple appeared more united than ever, at least publicly.

Their romance began in late 2023, when they met at an equestrian event in Fort Worth. From there, the relationship moved quickly and with clear commitment: Hadid even relocated to Texas to be closer to Bañuelos, immersing herself in his rodeo- and horse-centred lifestyle — a passion they both shared.

News of the breakup is particularly surprising given that, just a few months ago, the couple were openly displaying their happiness. In October, Adan Bañuelos shared a series of romantic images on social media to celebrate both their anniversary and the model’s birthday, accompanied by a message filled with symbolism and devotion, describing their relationship as something “pure and beautiful” amid the chaos.

However, sources suggest the relationship was not as idyllic as it appeared. According to reports published by Page Six, the bond was reportedly on-and-off and emotionally complex, with ups and downs that intensified over time. Shared commercial interests are also said to have added strain to an already delicate situation.

As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Bella Hadid is navigating the breakup by staying busy and maintaining a positive mindset. The model is currently leaning on her closest circle while remaining focused on her work, particularly her new chapter as an actress in The Beauty, created by Ryan Murphy, where she explores a physical and emotional register distinct from her fashion career.

Her relationship with Adan Bañuelos — a world champion rodeo rider and prominent figure in the equestrian circuit — represented a profound shift in pace and environment for Hadid. Now, following the separation, the model appears to be entering a period of personal recalibration, defined by introspection and renewed professional focus.

For the moment, neither has issued a direct public statement regarding the reasons behind the breakup. What does seem clear is that, after two intense years, the story of Bella Hadid and Adan Bañuelos has definitively come to a close, marking the end of one of the most talked-about relationships in recent fashion and celebrity culture.
