Bella Hadid’s cowboy boyfriend reveals she lived in his trailer at the beginning of their romance

Adán Banuelos, Bella Hadid’s boyfriend, has given rare insights into his relationship with the supermodel.

The 35-year-old cowboy spoke about the beginning of his romance with Hadid, 27, during an appearance on the Along for the ride Podcast. The Mexican-American rodeo star revealed that Hadid even lived with him in a trailer in the early days of their relationship.

“She enjoyed the space at the saddle,” Banuelos explained in the podcast that aired earlier this month.

He called his girlfriend “bada**” for deciding to live with him in his trailer, adding: “That trailer always felt small, but then you find someone you like spending time with and the trailer became a f***ing mansion.”

The rider went on to praise Hadid for living with him in his trailer, sharing that “material things” are not important to the Orebella founder. Banuelos also revealed that Hadid recently purchased a house in Texas, where he is living while “working on building a house” in the meantime.

“Man, I can’t tell you how happy I am. I can’t tell you how lucky I am,” Banuelos continued. “This young lady is one of the kindest, most kind-hearted, sweetest people I know – I didn’t even know God created her that way.”

He expressed that “Hadid’s external beauty does not come close to comparing to her human appearance.”

“She has no idea she’s so beautiful,” Banuelos gushed. “She’s never thought like that, she’s never felt like that. She’s a very kind, gentle soul.”

He added: “She puts up with me and she loves me and I’m head over heels in love with her. It’s just great.”

The couple began dating after meeting at a horse show in Texas over a year ago. Banuelos and Hadid sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after they were photographed kissing in Fort Worth, according to a video posted TMZ. She kicked off their relationship on Instagram in February of this year by sharing several throwback photos from her birthday party in October.

Banuelos was the returning champion and defended his title at this year’s competition. Banuelos and his two teammates each won $25,000 in prize money, as well as $100,000 for his victory in the cutting arena. On Instagram, Hadid called herself the “leader of the fan club” as she posted photos and videos of Banuelos’ performance.
