While many celebrities choose to spend their summers jet-setting across Europe, Bella Hadid has taken a decidedly different path in 2025. The supermodel, known globally for her striking presence on runways and magazine covers, has embraced a new chapter of life far from the glitz and glamour of international fashion capitals. Instead, she’s soaking up the sun in Texas, diving headfirst into the world of rodeos and cowboy culture alongside her boyfriend, professional equestrian Adan Banuelos.
Hadid’s Instagram has become a window into this fresh lifestyle. She recently shared a series of photos where she sports a white swimsuit adorned with a gingham belt, topped off with a giant cowboy hat—a look that perfectly captures her new rodeo queen vibe. The images were so captivating that Instagram restricted them for viewers under 18, underscoring the boldness of her style. Though her exact swimsuit has sold out, fans can still find similar pieces from her collaboration line with Frankie's Bikinis, which features a variety of designs inspired by her Western aesthetic.
But the swimsuit is just the beginning of Bella’s cowboy transformation. She also posted a mirror selfie showcasing a suede halter top swimsuit from the same Frankie's collaboration. This piece is no ordinary swimwear; it boasts hand-stitched turquoise and silver beading, saddle stitch details, and a soft, suede-like fabric that ties at the chest and neck. She paired it with Wrangler-inspired booty shorts made from the same textured material, complete with a floral-detailed belt buckle, designed to be worn on their own or layered over swimwear. This look isn’t just fashion—it’s a statement of Bella’s deepening connection to the Western lifestyle.
Her Instagram stories and posts further reveal her passion for horse riding, a hobby she shares with Adan Banuelos. In clips, the couple can be seen riding horses side by side, with Bella dressed in double denim and a gingham shirt—classic cowboy attire. The pair’s shared love for equestrian pursuits is more than just a pastime; it’s a bond that has grown over their two-year relationship.
Earlier this year, Bella credited Adan for introducing her to the world of rodeos and horseback riding. In an interview with British Vogue, she described seeing him as “a gust of fresh air” and admitted she had always wanted a cowboy in her life. “He works for his family, he works for his customers and he works to hopefully build a home and a family one day,” she said, highlighting the grounded nature of her partner’s ambitions.
Bella’s rodeo journey recently reached a milestone when she won her first rodeo check. She celebrated this achievement with an Instagram post featuring a heartfelt kiss with Adan, captioning the moment with a mix of humor and gratitude. She joked about accidentally leaving an Orebella 100ml perfume inside a Carbondale Rodeo porta potty, a light-hearted glimpse into her rodeo adventures. “Love you guys so much miss you will get better about posting,” she wrote, connecting warmly with her followers.
Beyond the rodeo and fashion, Bella has been reflecting deeply on her personal life and future. In the same British Vogue interview, she opened up about her desire to become a mother. “Family is on my mind. I can’t wait to be a mom,” she shared candidly. “I think that I’m somebody for a lot of people, but in the real intimate way of being the person that somebody can count on consistently, that will change my life for me. And I cannot wait.”
She also discussed her evolving vision of family life with Adan. “I never grew up being like, ‘Oh, I have this vision of marriage.’ I have this vision of being a mother. But it’s got to a point where I’m like, ‘You know what? That’s something that’s for me.’ I think that would make me truly happy,” she said, revealing a heartfelt and personal perspective on what fulfillment means to her now.
While Bella has taken a step back from the relentless pace of modeling, she hasn’t completely left the industry behind. She continues to promote her personal brands, including Orebella and Kin Euphorics, through her social media channels. Yet, it’s clear that her priorities have shifted towards balancing a quieter, more intimate life with the excitement of new ventures and passions.
Her move to Fort Worth, Texas, is more than a change of scenery—it’s a reinvention. Away from the catwalks and flashing cameras of global fashion weeks, Bella Hadid is carving out a space where she can be both a celebrated model and a rodeo queen, a partner and a future mother. This new chapter is quieter but just as bright, marked by authenticity, love, and a deep connection to the land and lifestyle she now calls home.
