Bella Hadid and Adán Bañuelos have split, ending their relationship after two years together, marking a major personal change for the supermodel as she continues to balance work, health and life in the public eye.
The breakup was first reported by Entertainment tonight on January 26 and later confirmed by PEOPLE through a source close to the situation.
Neither Hadid nor Bañuelos have commented publicly on the split.
According to a source, the breakup has been difficult for Hadid, as the relationship had become serious over time.
“Bella is doing everything she can to stay positive and distract herself since their split,” the source said.
“She has been busy with work and spending time with close friends. She is still processing the breakup as it was a very serious relationship.”
Hadid’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The news comes just weeks after the former couple was last seen together publicly.
In December, Hadid and Bañuelos attended an event in Dallas for her fragrance brand, Orebella, where photos showed them looking close and affectionate.
The couple had been dating since October 2023, initially sparking romance rumors after being spotted together in Texas. By early 2024, they had gone public on social media, sharing photographs that reflected their increasingly intertwined lives.
Bañuelos, a highly respected professional equestrian, had occasionally spoken about their otherwise private relationship.
In an October anniversary post that also marked Hadid’s birthday, he shared a series of affectionate photos and wrote, “October has 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. I love you, baby. I will continue to remind you every day how much.”
Hadid had also opened up about the relationship in rare interviews.
In a May 2025 cover story with British Vogueshared how she met Bañuelos during a vulnerable period of her life after she moved to Texas to be closer to her mother, Yolanda Hadid, while dealing with chronic illnesses and self-love struggles.
“I’m with my stepfather,” he recalled. “We’ll move cows, go on trail rides, and I’m starting to feel a little better, but I’m still dealing with my own stuff. Then the next day, I’m meeting my boyfriend.”
He also described how Bañuelos was unaware of his global fame when they met, something he found refreshing.
“I never knew who you were until I saw your face for the first time,” he told her. Hadid later said, “For me, that was a breath of fresh air.”
Throughout their relationship, Hadid often credited her life in Texas for providing her with a sense of calm and stability away from the pressures of fashion and fame.
She had openly spoken about prioritizing her well-being and slowing down her career, and even announced in 2024 that she would leave modeling to focus on her health.
“For the first time I’m not going to put on a fake face,” he said at the time. “If I don’t feel good, I don’t go. If I don’t feel good, I take time for myself.”
More recently, Hadid has focused on her acting career, promoting her role on the Ryan Murphy series. the beauty.
Speaking at the show’s premiere in New York, she reflected on the advice she received from her co-stars.
They helped her understand that “even being crazy and weird is still positive,” adding that “sometimes things are embarrassing and, at the end of the day, they’re not.”
While the breakup signals the end of a relationship that once seemed deeply rooted and future-focused, Hadid is leaning toward work and close friendships as she moves forward.
For now, both she and Bañuelos remain publicly silent, letting fans absorb the news as Hadid enters her next chapter as a new single.
