Bella Hadid‘s new boyfriend is a good old-fashioned cowboy — and while he’s certainly known in his own profession … the dude isn’t nearly as famous as any of her other exes.
35-year-old Adan Banuelos — who doesn’t have his own Wikipedia page — is an esteemed horse rider and trainer … known for getting the animals ready for competition/performances. He’s been doing this since he was a kid … coming from a family of horse trainers, who are also accomplished.
What we do know for sure is that he started racking up awards in his industry in the 2010s — specifically, with the National Cutting Horse Association … an org he’s very familiar with.
Cutting horses essentially boils down to making sure they can herd cattle and participate in other athletic events … including what you might see at a rodeo. Banuelos himself isn’t a rodeo guy, per se, but he’s got a rep for being one of the best at preparing horses for that.
As proof, consider AB was inducted into the NCHA Hall of Fame in 2017 … going on to be named the NCHA’s “Leading Open Rider” in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022. He’s also won the NCHA Open Futurity Champion … among LOTS of other accolades he has to his name.
In terms of how he makes a living … it probably goes without saying, he sells his horsey skills and runs his own business. And it sounds like he’s been doing quite well for himself … ’cause the dude actually touts his own net worth on his website — at least $5 million.
We also know Banuelos lives out there deep in the heart of Texas … which is where Bella was just spotted hanging out with him in public and showing off major affection too.
Still no word on how exactly these 2 met, but Bella’s affinity for horses as an equestrian is no secret … so, perhaps, she stumbled across him through connections in that world. In any case, Banuelos is on the map now — and has a bigger profile than he’s ever had before this.

Keep in mind, the men Bella has been involved with pre-Adan are big names … like Marc Kalman, a famous art director, and of course The Weeknd.
It’s interesting that she’s pivoted toward someone who isn’t nearly as in the spotlight … and who most certainly isn’t anywhere near Hollywood whatsoever. Let’s see where it goes!
