Bella Hadid steps out with new hunky cowboy following on-off love Adan Banuelos' arrest

Bella Hadid was spotted out alongside a mystery man wearing a cowboy hat, just weeks after news broke that she and longtime boyfriend Adan Banuelos had split.

The 29-year-old supermodel kept things low-key as she moved through a crowd, dressed in a black leather jacket, dark jeans and oversized sunglasses during Milan Fashion Week. 

The unidentified man stayed close by her side, but there was no visible PDA, and the nature of their relationship remains unclear. 

At several moments, Hadid appeared focused on navigating the throng of fans and photographers rather than engaging in any overtly romantic behavior.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Hadid's representatives for comment on the man's identity but has not yet received a response. 

The sighting comes fresh off reports that Hadid and Banuelos, a professional equestrian, quietly ended their relationship last month after roughly two years together.

Following their reported split, both Hadid and Banuelos faced brushes with the law over the same weekend, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

The records state that Hadid was pulled over during a traffic stop outside Gator's Cantina in Weatherford, Texas, when Banuelos allegedly approached officers in the parking lot. 

Deputies claimed they immediately noticed that Banuelos' speech was slurred and that his eyes appeared bloodshot and glassy, with an odor of alcohol on his breath.

Banuelos reportedly told officers he was concerned about Hadid and said he had followed her because he 'cared for her,' adding that her cellphone had been left behind at the bar. 

His white truck was allegedly still running, with a white dog said to belong to Hadid remaining inside.

After Banuelos admitted to consuming 'four' beers and underwent a field sobriety test, deputies determined he was intoxicated and took him into custody as a precaution to prevent him from driving or posing a danger.

He was booked into Parker County Jail in the early hours of Saturday morning and later released after posting a $386 bond.

An officer noted in the report that Banuelos' vehicle and belongings were released to Hadid, identified in the document as his girlfriend, at his request. 

While in custody, Banuelos reportedly insisted he had not driven to the bar but declined to identify who had driven him. 

He also told police he had been at home with a friend when Hadid left, and that they later drove after her when she returned to the bar.

Despite swirling rumors at the time that the pair had split, the police report notably still referred to Hadid as Banuelos' girlfriend.

Footage later obtained by TMZ appeared to further muddy the waters, showing Hadid and Banuelos dancing closely together at a honky-tonk on Friday night, with witnesses claiming they kissed, held hands and behaved like a couple during their roughly 90 minutes inside the bar before leaving with takeaway food.

Amid the uncertainty, Hadid raised eyebrows with her latest social media post.

On Wednesday, she shared a reflective social media post centered on a horse she once shared with her ex. 

The supermodel publicly praised Banuelos' recent success, writing that she was 'super proud' of him 'for not only getting the high score in a field that is not his usual playground, but also making it to the World's Greatest Horseman finals.' 

She added that the accomplishment had been 'a huge goal' for him and emphasized that 'the consistency, hard work, loyalty to his horses, his team, his family and his craft, is something that no one can ever take away from him.'

In the same post, Hadid gushed over Banuelos' horse Canelo, calling him 'one of the horses that made me fall in love with cutting' and praising his 'heart, his talent, his beauty, his love and trust.' 

She also referenced her own close connection to the animal, writing, 'I was even able to ride him in the streets of New York without a care in the world. He's just that perfect.' 

Sources previously told Entertainment Tonight that Hadid had been taking the breakup hard, describing the relationship as 'very serious' and saying she was still processing the emotional impact. 

The outlet reported that she had been leaning into work and close friendships to distract herself, adding that she and Banuelos continued to follow one another on Instagram.

The former couple first sparked dating rumors in October 2023 after being spotted together in Texas, where Hadid was frequently seen attending rodeo events. 

By February 2024, they had gone public on social media, with Hadid posting affectionate photos of the pair in matching cowboy hats.

Throughout their relationship, Hadid spoke openly about how grounding life in Texas felt, particularly as she stepped back from the high-octane pace of modeling. 

In April 2024, she announced she would be slowing down professionally after relocating with her partner, telling Allure that she was finally prioritizing her well-being and listening to her body as she continued to manage chronic Lyme disease.

Banuelos, an accomplished horse trainer, was inducted into the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame at age 28, becoming the youngest ever to receive the honor. 

In interviews with outlets including British Vogue and W Magazine, both he and Hadid previously gushed about their connection, shared love of horses and hopes of one day building a family.
