See Bella Hadid’s Relationship History—Meet The Model’s Texan Boyfriend And Her Past Loves

Adan Banuelos (2023 – Now)

Bella Hadid is currently dating cowboy Adan Banuelos. A few months after her split from Marc Kalman, the 27-year-old was first spotted with Banuelos in October 2023. They were photographed at the Fort Worth Stockyards, coordinating outfits and shopping together.

According to Harper’s Bazaar, her new beau is from Forth Worth, Texas, and his father is Ascencion Banuelos, the first Mexican-American ever inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. Banuelos is a pretty big deal in the world of horse riding. In 2017, he was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Rider Hall of Fame, becoming one of the youngest inductees ever. In 2020, he won the NCHA Futurity Open Championship.

The model grew up horseback riding, and last year, she returned to competitive equestrian riding after Lyme disease forced her to take a hiatus from the sport. Hadid soft-launched her relationship with Banuelos on Instagram in January 2024. In a slideshow of photos from an NCHA competition, one picture shows her holding hands with Banuelos, while another video shows Hadid riding horseback as Banuelos watches her.

She confirmed their romance on Valentine’s Day 2024 in a now-expired Instagram story. The snap showed Banuelos on horseback and holding hands with Hadid. She captioned the photo, “My valentine.”

Marc Kalman (2021 – 2023)

Bella Hadid’s most recent ex-boyfriend is art director Marc Kalman. Page Six reported that the former couple started secretly dating sometime in 2020. Although the model rarely spoke publicly about their relationship, she did post photos of Kalman on social media. For example, in July 2021, she posted a since-deleted photo of them snuggling up to one another. “Time of my life ⏳🍾. Healthy, Working and Loved ❤️‍🔥🌹,” the caption read, according to People.

On Valentine’s Day in 2022, she also posted several pics of them together and called her boyfriend at the time her “fave dinner date.” In the following months, the lovebirds were spotted in Paris during Fashion Week in April. They were seen walking down the streets together, and Hadid later posted a since-deleted video of her and Kalman kissing while enjoying the sights.

In July 2022, rumors of an engagement proposal were floating around. “Bella and Marc Kalman are so happy together. Their relationship is going very well and things are serious. They have been together for a while and are truly in love,” a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “Marc is planning to propose to Bella in the fall. They have spoken about getting engaged and having their wedding in California.”

Unfortunately, by July 2023, insiders revealed that Hadid and Kalman had called it quits. “They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things. Bella is a very nice person, but struggles with the pressures of fame,” a source told ET on July 19, 2023. “Her split from Marc was amicable, and she is always someone who takes care of herself and has been very open about it.”

The Weeknd (2015 – 2019)

Bella Hadid’s longest relationship was with her on-and-off boyfriend, The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye), spanning from 2015 to 2019. The pair reportedly first met when the singer asked Hadid to pose on the cover of one of his albums. “I actually asked her to be on the artwork for Beauty Behind the Madness,” he told Rolling Stone. “My motive was literally to work with her.”

Romance rumors started swirling after they crossed paths at Coachella in 2015, where they were seen “hanging out” and “flirting lots” according to E! News. In December of that year, Hadid starred in the music video for his song “In The Night.”

In August 2016, Hadid spoke publicly about her relationship with Abel in an interview with Glamour. “I’m dating Abel. I don’t see him as the Weeknd,” she said. “I’m proud of the Weeknd and the music he makes, but I really love Abel.”

However, the couple’s first of many breakups came in November 2016. It was rumored that his new single at the time, “Heartless,” was inspired by their tumultuous up-and-down relationship. They reunited amicably for the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris. Meanwhile, Abel entered into a relationship with pop singer Selena Gomez for most of 2017.

“It was my first breakup … and so public,” Hadid admitted to Teen Vogue in February 2017. “As an outsider, you might think I handled it so well, but it’s always in your heart, and you always feel it very heavily. It’ll be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through.”

Hadid and Abel sparked romance rumors again in April 2018 after hanging out at Coachella. “The Weeknd and Bella were sitting on each other’s laps and all over each other all night long,” an onlooker told People at the time. “They definitely looked like they were fully back together.” One month later, they were spotted kissing at the Cannes Film Festival. 

After reconciling for over a year, by August 2019, Hadid and The Weeknd reportedly broke up again. Although the singer attended Hadid’s 23rd birthday party a month later, a rep for The Weeknd told People that “they just attended as friends.”
