Horse riding, hats and boots and a ranch. It sounds like the ingredients for a movie like ‘The Longest Ride’. But for model Bella Hadid, this is reality. She is actually with a real cowboy. This is what we know about her mysterious lover.

Adan Banuelos (35) is of Mexican-American descent and grew up in a real horse riding family. He lives in Fort Worth, Texas. His father, Ascension Banuelos, is a big name in the equestrian sport. Adan followed in his footsteps and is successful in cutting horse, where the horse must keep a cow separated from a herd to show that it has control over the animals. Banuelos is a national champion in the sport. He not only rides himself but also trains other riders at all levels.

Hadid and Banuelos have been together since October last year, so the relationship isn't really new anymore. Still, we see very little of their romance. On Valentine's Day, Hadid made their relationship Insta-official by posting a photo in her stories. Since then, it has been quiet on social media, occasionally the two share a glimpse of their relationship. Until last week, when the couple attended the ‘Window to the West’ event in New York. During this event, they together provided a demonstration of cutting horse. The series ‘Horse Sense’ was also shown, a six-part series about various athletes and artists who represent the American West. Banuelos is one of the people being followed for his contribution to equestrian sports. Hadid posted extensively about the event and how proud she is of her cowboy.

The passion for horses was in Hadid from a young age; she has often spoken about her love for the animals. According to Banuelos, it is also that love that brought the two together. They met during a horse show where Yolanda Hadid was also present with her fiancé Joseph Jingoli. Bella was there and saw Banuelos perform. He said hi, not knowing who she was, and they started talking. By now, Hadid lives in Fort Worth with her boyfriend and, besides all the fashion, mainly lives a real cowgirl life.
