Bella Hadid and new boyfriend Adan Banuelos are spending time together in Texas!
On Friday, the model, 27, showed off her country look while attending the American Performance Horseman event with Banuelos, 34. Wearing a wide-brimmed black cowboy hat, a sparkly black open-back top, and a western-inspired turquoise and silver necklace, Hadid matched her rider boyfriend, who also wore a cowboy hat for the event.

Hosted by Teton Ridge at Globe Life Field in Arlington, the American Performance Horseman debuted as a new event as part of the American Rodeo — an annual rodeo that includes both competition and entertainment. According to the event’s website, the festivities will include various equestrian competitions, such as cutting, reined cow horse and reining, and participants will compete for $1 million in prize money.
Hadid’s relationship with Banuelos, a decorated Mexican-American equestrian, is relatively new — the two first went public with their romance in October 2023, when TMZ shared photos of them kissing in Fort Worth, Texas.

Hadid’s latest public outing also comes after her return to modeling after a long hiatus to focus on her health. In January, she graced four different covers Perfect Magazinespring/summer 2024 edition — and she also art directed the photo shoot.
Taking inspiration from Blondie’s Debbie Harry, Hadid posed for the magazine’s special sixth issue wearing heavy blush, hoop earrings, black underwear and nothing else. On Instagram, Perfect she wrote that the look was “inspired by a picture of Harry performing in 1978, wearing as a dress a poster she had torn from the wall outside the venue.”

Hadid first announced her hiatus from modeling in August 2023, writing in an Instagram post at the time that she was “finally healthy” after more than 10 years of health issues, including “100+ days of Lyme, chronic illness, [co-infection] treatment [and] almost 15 years of invisible suffering.”

“The little me that suffered would have been so proud of me for not giving up on myself🫶🏼,” Hadid began the Instagram post, adding that she was grateful to her mom, Yolanda Hadid.
“Thank you to my mom for keeping all my medical documents, being by my side, never leaving me, protecting me, supporting me, but most of all for believing in me through all of this,” she wrote.
Back in 2016, Hadid revealed to PEOPLE her health issues while working as a model.
“Life is not always what it looks like,” she said at the time, adding that “the hardest part of this journey is being judged by how you look instead of how you feel.”
