Bella Hadid and Adnan Banuelos are ready for their close-up.

A few days after the 27-year-old model hard-launched her relationship with the 34-year-old equestrian with a Valentine's Day Instagram story, Banuelos made it onto her grid with a few throwback photos from Hadid's horse-stable birthday party in October. Included in the roundup was an image of the pair in similar cowboy hats—as well as a GIF of the couple leaning in for a kiss.

Clearly, these two are only getting more comfortable with PDA as time goes on. On March 8 the pair officially made their public debut, at the American Performance Horseman in Arlington, Texas, and the photos from the equestrian sporting event look like movie stills from every horse girl's dream rom-com. Hadid especially looked the part in a sparkly brown backless tank top and cowboy hat.

When Adan Banuelos was not defending his title as the American Performance Horseman Cutting Champion, he shared a sweet moment with Hadid that was captured by photographers (as well as Hadid's mom, Yolanda, if I'm not mistaken). Tell me these images don't belong on a Hallmark movie poster…I'll wait.

Bella Hadid and her cowboy beau have been linked since October 2023, when TMZ shared photos and video of the couple holding hands and kissing while out and about in Texas, where the award-winning horseback rider and trainer works and resides. Hadid appeared to soft-launch their relationship in January, including one image of her coach in an equestrian Instagram dump, though Banuelos's face was cropped out.

That same month, Banuelos shared footage from Hadid's first rodeo competition with the caption “Proud of our girl ✨ Bella and #MetallicTito taking home 3rd place at their first show out! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this duo….”

At the time, Yolanda Hadid replied to the video, “❤️So proud of my baby girl and her coach😜, awesome ride!” Clearly, the couple already has mom's approval—now they just need a Hollywood producer to get on board.
