What Led To Arrest Of Bella Hadid's Ex-bf, Adan Banuelos? All About Him After Their Recent Break Up

Bella Hadid made headlines in recent days owing to her breakup with her cowboy boyfriend, Adan Banuelos. But things took an unexpected turn this weekend after he was arrested on January 31, 2025. The timing of the professional horseman's arrest has raised eyebrows across social media, especially as footage of the pair slow-dancing together at a local bar made headlines. Needless to say, the clean celebrity breakup quickly turned into a confusing sequence of events, leaving fans wondering what really happened.

What caused the arrest of Adan Banuelos?

According to the Parker County Sheriff's office, Adan Banuelos was arrested in the early hours of January 31, 2026, near Fort Worth on a public intoxication charge. The deputies had taken him and detained him shortly after midnight, and he was later released the same morning after getting a USD 386 bond. According to authorities who have not shared additional details about the incident, there has been no official comment from Adan regarding the arrest.

The charge itself is a minor issue under Texas Laws, but it gained limelight due to the spotlight on Adan and Bella and their breakup. According to reports from outlets including ™, the arrest occurred within hours of the pair being seen together at a Weatherford bar, where they were filmed dancing closely and appearing affectionate. It has led to speculation about whether the relationship had truly ended or was already complicated before the arrest. Meanwhile, the law enforcement has not indicated any disturbance beyond the intoxication charge.

What caused Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos's breakup?

Before his arrest, Adan Banuelos was in the spotlight for his two-year relationship with Bella Hadid. The couple began dating in late 2023 after Bella moved to Texas to focus on her health and her passion for competitive horse riding. There, she met Adan at a horse show in Fort Worth, who felt like "fresh air" compared to her daily glam world. Their relationship quickly grew serious, and Bella embraced the cowboy lifestyle and living in his trailer during competitions.

She publicly confirmed their relationship in early 2024 and credited Adan with helping her return to competitive equestrianism. Under his mentorship, she went on to win the 2024 NCHA Rookie of the Year title. However, by January 2026, several news outlets, including TMZ, reported that distance and differing priorities affected the relationship. Bella has been busy with growing commitments to her beauty brand Orebella and acting projects, which clashed with Adan's desire for her to remain in Texas full-time. Despite the split, the two reportedly share ownership of several high-value breeding and competition horses.
