By the looks of it, Bella Hadid has officially split from her professional horseman ex Adan Banuelos…and hard-launched a new relationship. Below, find everything we know about Nathan Lacy, the guy Hadid was spotted canoodling with rinkside (in an eye-catching platinum-blonde wig) at the Colorado Avalanche’s annual Hockey Fights Cancer Night on November 7.
Who is Nathan Lacy?
In addition to being an estimator and project manager at his family’s construction company, Lacy is also a fifth-generation cowboy from Crested Butte, Colorado—where Hadid has reportedly just purchased a house—and, like Banuelos before him, he’s also in the cutting world. Our girl has a type!
How long have Hadid and Lacy been dating?
TMZ claims that Hadid was single as recently as July, but Lacy is the brother of Hadid’s friend and fellow horse girl Rachael Lacy, so it’s totally possible they met the old-fashioned way: “through friends,” rather than some cursed celebrity-only dating app I haven’t even heard of.
When did Hadid and Banuelos break up?
Hadid and Banuelos allegedly split in early 2026, after roughly two years together. “I saw him walk in and it was like a gust of fresh air,” Hadid recalled of their meet-cute in British Vogue last year. “So he basically came in, walked into the exhibit hall, which is where we do all of the show stuff. I was getting a cowboy hat fitted. I just saw him and I was like, that’s the…I always wanted the cowboy.”
Has Hadid commented publicly about her alleged relationship with Lacy?
Well, no, but in my experience, if you’re cuddling rinkside at a hockey game, cuffing season has officially come for you.
