Bella Hadid was caught making out with hunky cowboy Adan Banuelos during a trip to Forth Worth, Texas this week — months after splitting from her boyfriend Marc Kalman.
In a video obtained by TMZ, the supermodel, 27, is seen kissing, holding hands with and hugging Adan, 34, as they strolled the historic Fort Worth stockyards on Tuesday afternoon.
The runway maven looked low-key in a brown leather jacket, boot cut jeans and cowboy boots while her new man rocked an orange button-up shirt, blue jeans and a trucker hat.
Adan is highly accomplished in the performance horse industry and in 2017 he became one of the youngest riders to be inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association’s Riders Hall of Fame.
He and Bella have plenty to talk about as she’s a longtime equestrian that recently got back into the sport after her Lyme disease battle left her unable to ride for years.

Split: The sighting comes months after she split from her boyfriend of two-years Marc Kalman; seen in October 2022
According to PHC, Adan specializes in ‘cutting’ — an equestrian competition that requires a horse and rider to successfully separate and isolate a single cow from its herd. But he’s also found success in other ‘roping and cow horse events.’
He was named the NCHA’s leading open rider in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and he boasts a net worth of over $6million, as per his family’s website.
‘Adan specializes in training and showing cutting horses; excelling at the highest level. In addition to his own success, he continues to have top level amateurs & non-pro riders within his program as well,’ the description reads.
Adan is the son of champion rider Ascension Banuelos, who immigrated to the United States from Mexico at just 13-years-old and later became ‘one of the greatest horsemen of his time.’
Ascension is one of the world’s top cutting horse trainers and the first Mexican American to become an NCHA Hall of Famer.
A documentary about Ascension was released in 2017.
In a gushing birthday post shared in May 2021, Adan referred to his famous father as his ‘coach and most importantly my best friend.’
In March, Bella returned to competitive equestrian riding for the first time since she was forced to give it up in 2016.

Healing: Bella recently got back into the sport after her Lyme disease battle left her unable to ride for years
Her health struggles kept her from partaking in the sport despite being on track to possibly go to the Olympics.
Bella’s connection with horses started early in life as she began riding at the age of three.
Her mother Yolanda, who was also a passionate equestrienne, raised Bella, her sister Gigi and son Anwar Hadid on a horse ranch in Beverly Hills.
Bella was a nationally ranked equestrienne who was trying to make the 2016 Olympic team when she was sidelined by Lyme disease.
She was diagnosed with the tick-borne illness in 2012 and in the years since the symptoms of the disease have left the catwalk queen bed-ridden, hospitalized, and needing regular IV drips.
In August, she shared photos of herself and her horses at Wellington International, an equestrian club in Wellington, Florida, after telling fans that she was ‘finally healthy’ after seeking treatment for Lyme disease.
She took a five-month hiatus from modeling due to her debilitating flare-ups and only just got back into the swing of things in late August.
Sometime in the spring Bella quietly split from her boyfriend of two years, Marc Kalman.
A source claimed that the relationship ‘ran its course’ and that Bella has placed her focus solely on her health.
‘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. She has been trying to take care of herself since their split,’ the insider dished.
DailyMail.com understands the pair split amicably ‘some time ago.’
Bella and Marc reportedly met through work in New York City in 2020.

Growing apart: ‘They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things,’ a source said of Bella and Marc’s split in July; seen in September 2022
But the ultra private star waited until the following summer to confirm their romance on social media as she shared a sweet photo packing on the PDA with the art director, who worked with rapper Travis Scott for years.
At the time, E! News reported that they were already ‘serious’ and she ‘has been excited to be seen with him’ in public after keeping their romance private for a year.
‘He has been the creative behind many fashion projects and they have crossed paths several times,’ the source revealed.
He family was also said to have ‘approved and loved him.’
During a chat with Interview Magazine, Bella said she felt ‘super comfortable and feel very safe with Marc’ and referred to him as her ’emotional support bunny.’
As for his work as a photographer, she gushed that he ‘is incredibly talented at everything he does.’
While Bella rarely spoke about their relationship in public, she credited keeping their romance out of the spotlight for ‘why things have been able to last.’
Shortly after news of the split broke, a source insisted to Us Weekly that Bella ‘isn’t focused on dating at the moment.’
