Bella Hadid ‘happily’ lived with boyfriend Adan Banuelos in his 5th wheel trailer at the start of romance: ‘It was awesome’

Adan Banuelos and Bella Hadid started getting to know each other closer.

During a recent appearance on the “Along for the Ride” podcast, the 35-year-old cowboy revealed that his 27-year-old supermodel girlfriend began living in his 5th-wheel trailer at the beginning of their romance.

“He happily drove the fifth wheel,” Banuelos said. “It was awesome.”

“That fifth wheel always felt small and then you find someone you love spending time with and that fifth wheel goes from being a fifth wheel to a grand palace,” he joked.

The Texas native said it was important that Hadid understood his lifestyle from the start before taking their relationship to the next step.

“It was cool because I really wanted that to be a part of our relationship,” he added. “You know, you start having feelings for someone and you start thinking things like, ‘Man, maybe this is the rest of my life,’ and knowing that he’s just a normal human being [and] Material things are not important – or not the most important thing.”

Thankfully, Banuelos said Hadid fit in perfectly — and even surpassed it.

The horseman said the model would get up “at 2:30 in the morning” to bring breakfast to everyone during competitions and was always her No. 1 cheerleader.

“She’s so persistent, encouraging, positive and warm to everybody she meets and helping with the horses and all that stuff, it’s all just amazing,” he said.

Though the two chose to live in a trailer for a while, Banuelos revealed that Hadid recently purchased her own home in Texas.

“I’m working on building a house [but] It will take me some time but she has bought something which was a good investment for her,” he said, adding that they will fix their house when the time comes.

During the interview, Banuelos praised Hadid and hinted that he sees a long future with the supermodel.

“Man, I can’t tell you how happy I am,” he said. “I can’t tell you how lucky I am.”

“This young lady is the kindest, big-hearted and sweetest person I have ever met [ever met]” he added. “I mean I didn’t know God made them like that.”

Banuelos said her outer beauty “is nowhere comparable to her beauty as a human being.”

He also believes that she “deserves the best,” which is why he’s working hard to organize all of his work so he can “share it with her.”

“I’ve got you guys so upset,” he joked, adding that she’s his No. 1 “priority.”

Banuelos is one of the most successful rodeo stars in recent years. In fact, at just 28 years old, he was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) Riders Hall of Fame.

According to his website, throughout his career, the horse trainer has “already earned over five million dollars.”

The couple met about a year and a half ago at a horse show in Fort Worth, Texas. Banuelos explained that they grew close to each other over their mutual love of horses and Hadid’s interest in cutting, which is a Western-style equestrian competition.

“From there it just went in a positive direction and she stays with me and loves me and I’m crazy for her,” he said. “It’s been absolutely fantastic.”

Banuelos and Hadid first sparked dating rumors in October 2023, when they were spotted holding hands and kissing while walking around her home state.

Four months later, Hadid revealed their relationship via Instagram on Valentine’s Day.

Though the loved-up couple has spent most of their time in Texas, Banuelos also accompanied Hadid to the Orabella perfume launch held in New York City in May.
