Bella Hadid's complete dating history: From stars to a real-life cowboy

Fans are just as interested in Bella Hadid's relationships as they are in her stunning runway looks. She is one of the most famous supermodels in the world, and this means her dating life is often closely watched.

From her high-profile names like Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, to her current relationship with horse-riding champion Adan Banuelos, Bella’s love life has been very interesting. In contrast to the flashy fashion industry, her relationships have experienced highs, lows, and everything else, just like others.

Here’s the list of Bella’s relationships:

Adan Banuelos (2023–present)

She’s currently dating Adan Banuelos, a professional cowboy and champion horse rider based in Texas. From riding horses to riding someone’s heart, it’s not difficult for someone like Bella to make someone fall for her, thanks to her looks and pure heart, which attracts anyone.

They were first spotted together in October 2023 when they were seen holding hands and kissing in Fort Worth, Texas. Photos of them instantly went viral. Since then, they’ve been seen more and more close together. Bella’s even been spending a lot of time in Texas and, according to TMZ, has reportedly bought a home there to be closer to him.

They have kept their relationship mostly private, yet Bella has shared some moments on Instagram and just attended the premiere of Window to the West, a short film series that Banuelos worked on.

Let’s be honest, do you like Bella’s new relationship?

Marc Kalman (2021–2023)

Before dating cowboy Adam, Bella was in a relationship with Marc Kalman, a New York–based art director. The two kept things private for a while; they only made it official on Instagram in July 2021 by sharing a sweet photo from their vacation together.

They were often seen out in the streets of New York City and traveled together for fashion weeks in Milan and Paris. Things became quite serious, so serious that sources reported Marc was intending to propose. According to Entertainment Tonight, they had even discussed a future wedding in California.

But they weren’t meant for each other. By mid-2023, the couple had broken their relationship. According to insiders, the breakup was mutual, yet Bella was allegedly struggling with the pressures of fame and needed some time to prioritize herself.

A noticeable age gap between Marc and Bella has led many fans to question their relationship.

The Weeknd (2015–2019)

The hottest couple of 2015, according to fans.

Bella Hadid and The Weeknd were easily one of the most iconic celebrity couples of 2015. Their romance began in 2015 when they were seen getting intimate at Coachella. They quickly became a red carpet power couple, stealing the spotlight at the Grammys and fashion events.

In a 2016 interview with Glamour, Bella opened up about their relationship, saying, “I’m dating Abel. I don’t see him as the Weeknd. I really love Abel.”

Still, love doesn't always mean it will last forever. After a quick breakup in 2016, they ended their relationship, somehow reuniting at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, as professionals, where Bella walked the runway and The Weeknd performed his track Starboy.

Moreover, he later dated Selena Gomez in 2017, which brought him back into the spotlight. But once that ended, he and Bella patched up again. But the reunion lasted until 2019, when they ultimately decided to part ways for the best.

According to sources at the time, the breakup was due to a busy life and different priorities. Bella was focusing on fashion week, and Abel was working on his music and even exploring acting.

Fans believe the Weekend 2019 track “Heartless” was about their relationship farewell, especially with lyrics like, “I thought I lost you this time / You just came back in my life.” The hottest love stories always have the coldest end.

So what has Bella said about love?

Bella hasn't always shared much about her personal life, but when she does, she speaks genuinely.

On a 2022 episode of the Victoria’s Secret VS Voices podcast, Bella opened up about how she used to struggle with speaking up in relationships. “I always felt like my voice was never heard growing up,” she said. This affected her dating life, where she acknowledged needing to improve on setting boundaries and advocating for herself.

She shared, “Moving into relationships… not having the boundaries to stick up for myself… affected me very intensely. My nervous system would crash. It was fight or flight.” It’s clear that over time, Bella has learned a lot about love, self-worth, and what she needs in a relationship, and she’s still growing.

Bella Hadid's dating life goes beyond just famous individuals; it represents her experience with relationships while being in the limelight. From chart-topping singers to artsy city creatives to a Texas cowboy, each chapter has shown a different side of Bella.

Now, with Adan Banuelos by her side, fans are seeing a happier version of the supermodel, one who looks genuinely happy when in love.
