Bella Hadid is granting her fans an intimate glimpse into her heartfelt desires. The model, who is enchanted by her cowboy beau, Adan Banuelos, candidly confessed in a May 13 interview with British Vogue that motherhood occupies her thoughts. "Family is constantly on my mind," revealed the 28-year-old. "I eagerly anticipate becoming a mom." Until then, Bella cherishes her role as an aunt to Khai Malik, the adorable 4-year-old daughter of her sister Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik.
"I perceive myself as a pillar of strength for many," Bella continued, "but the idea of being someone's unwavering, reliable confidant in a deeply personal capacity will transform my life. I am thrilled at the prospect." As for tying the knot with Adan, Bella explained, "I never harbored a fairy-tale vision of marriage. My aspirations have always centered around motherhood. However, I've reached a point where I realize that marriage is something I truly desire. I believe it will bring me profound happiness."
Bella and Adan, a professional horse trainer, first sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after they were spotted together in Texas. They have largely kept their relationship away from the public eye. However, Bella provided a rare glimpse into their serendipitous encounter, which took place while she was out with her mother Yolanda Hadid's fiancé, Joseph Jingoli, in the Lone Star State.
"He walked in like a refreshing breeze," Bella recounted, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "He entered the exhibit hall, where we were preparing for the show. I was having a cowboy hat adjusted when I caught sight of him. I instantly knew he was 'the one'—the cowboy I had always dreamed of." She chuckled, "And let me tell you, he's incredibly handsome."
As for Adan, Bella shared that the 37-year-old was previously unaware of her fame. According to Bella, he confessed, "I had no idea who you were until I saw your face for the first time." She smiled, "For me, that was like a breath of fresh air."
Despite her celebrity status, Bella can't help but sing Adan's praises. "He's the youngest Mexican cowboy ever inducted into the Hall of Fame," she proudly stated. "He diligently works for his family, his customers, and he strives to build a home and a family one day."
