Bella Hadid and her ex-boyfriend, professional equestrian Adan Banuelos, recently ended their two-year relationship, which reportedly ended quietly after the holiday season. Shortly after the breakup became public, Banuelos was arrested in Texas for a traffic offense involving intoxication but was released after posting bond. Sources reveal that the split was influenced by the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship amid Hadid’s demanding career, which includes promoting her new FX series and managing her brand, Orebella. Despite the breakup, Hadid has been focusing on work and spending time with loved ones to cope, even taking a trip to the Virgin Islands for rest.

Banuelos, a decorated horse rider and the youngest Mexican cowboy inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame, met Hadid in 2023, bonding over their shared passion for horses. Meanwhile, Hadid has been open about her mental health struggles, sharing in 2023 her battles with anxiety and depression and advocating for mental health awareness. The couple’s differing lifestyles—Banuelos preferring a simpler life in Texas and Hadid thriving in the hustle of Los Angeles and New York—also contributed to their parting ways.
