Adan Banuelos appears to be moving forward following his breakup with supermodel Bella Hadid, as the cowboy and horse trainer was photographed in an affectionate encounter with a mystery woman in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
According to TMZ.com, which obtained photographs of the outing, Banuelos spent time with a blonde woman over coffee outside a Beverly Hills salon on August 19, 2026. The images show the pair engaged in conversation over iced beverages before moving their discussion to the sidewalk.
The photographs captured moments of physical closeness between the two, with Banuelos placing his arm around the woman while she positioned hers around his waist. The encounter concluded with an embrace between the pair.
The identity of the woman remains unknown, and whether the meeting held romantic significance has not been confirmed. Banuelos made the Los Angeles area visit shortly after securing a victory at Taylor Sheridan's "The Run For A Million" competition in Las Vegas.
The sighting follows a complicated breakup timeline that became public in July. TMZ.com reported that month that a source close to Hadid indicated the model was single and not romantically involved with cowboy Nathan Lacy, despite widespread speculation suggesting otherwise.
The announcement reportedly caught Banuelos off guard. Sources with direct knowledge told TMZ.com that Banuelos believed his relationship with Hadid remained intact and only discovered she considered herself single after reading the outlet's coverage.
His confusion stemmed from recent time the former couple had spent together. The pair had traveled to Aspen, where they attended rodeos, shared multiple dinners, and visited celebrity destination Kemo Sabe, according to information provided to TMZ.com.
The Beverly Hills encounter marks the first public sighting of Banuelos with another woman since the relationship status with Hadid became a matter of public record. Whether this signals a new romantic chapter for the horse trainer or simply a casual meeting between acquaintances remains to be seen.
