Bella Hadid and her cowboy beau Adan Banuelos have ended their two-year romance, sources say, after a relationship described as on-again, off-again and "tumultuous."

The couple's split is even trickier, according to Page Six, as they have business ties, wherein they purchased million-dollar horses together.

Neither Bella Hadid nor Adan Banuelos has released a statement on their breakup, although insiders revealed the model's whereabouts.

"Bella is doing her best to stay positive and distract herself since their split. She's been staying busy with work and spending time with close friends. She is still processing the breakup since it was a very serious relationship."

Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos: A glimpse into their two-year romance

The pair first sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after TMZ spotted them "kissing, hugging, and holding hands" at Fort Worth stockyards.

In January 2024, Bella Hadid posted a carousel of snaps of herself in a horse-racing competition, and one of the photos is her and Adan Banuelos holding hands.

After that soft launch, the model finally hard-launched her equestrian partner the following month by posting a photo of them together in the tracks, accompanied by the text "my valentine."

Bella Hadid also celebrated her birthday that February, and sources shared insights into the couple's relationship.

"Bella and Adan are in love and her family and friends have never seen her this happy. Bella loves how supportive Adan is of her career and fits into her life. The two always have a great time together and find comfort in the simple things. Bella's mom, Yolanda, set them up."

Speaking on an August 2024 episode of the Along For the Ride podcast, Adan Banuelos sang praises for his then-girlfriend, saying:

"She did do the 5th wheel, happily. It was badass. That 5th wheel has always felt small, and then you get, you know, somebody that you enjoy spending time with, and that 5th wheel went from a 5th wheel to a f***king mansion."

The cowboy added:

"It was cool because I really wanted that to be a part of our relationship. You know, you start having feelings for somebody and you start thinking things like, 'Man, maybe this is the rest of my life here,' and knowing that she is that simple of a human being [and] that the material things aren't important, or the most important thing."

In September 2024, Bella Hadid celebrated her then-beau's new movie, Horse Sense, on Instagram with a lengthy tribute message.

"I am so proud of you and all that you do. I see you and how hard you work everyday, and for you to be recognized in this way was so beautiful to watch. I keep looking back and I’m just grateful to be a part of it."

Adan Banuelos once again posted a romantic ode to Bella Hadid in October 2025 by posting several photos of them hugging, kissing, and on the tracks. He accompanied the snippets with a sweet message:

"October's become a special month. It's the month God sent you. Even with all the chaos and ugliness, He gave us something pure and beautiful. Love you, baby. I'll keep reminding you every day just how much."

That missive doesn't have a follow-up as the couple has reportedly called it quits.
