Revisiting Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos’ Confusing AF Relationship Timeline Amid Reports That She’s Single

Though it’s clear that Bella Hadid is still very much in her horse girl era, what’s less clear is whether or not she’s still seeing her professional cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos. Most recently, TMZ reported that the model is currently single…but apparently, this was news to Adan, who reportedly thought they were still dating. So what’s the truth?For the record: Bella’s been into horses forever (in a rich Beverly Hills kid way), so it’s not shocking that she ended up meeting Adan through their mutual interest.
