As recently as this past December, Hadid and Banuelos, who began dating in October 2023, attended a Dallas event together for her fragrance brand, Orebella. Photos shared by British Vogue showed the now-exes loved-up and cozying up at the pop-up.
This past October, Banuelos also made a rare comment about their fairly private relationship through a series of PDA-packed Instagram photos celebrating their anniversary and her Oct. 9 birthday.
The post included sweet images of the two kissing, holding hands and cuddling in many of the pictures.
“October’s become a special month. It’s the month God sent you. Even with all the chaos and ugliness, He gave us something pure and beautiful. Love you, baby. I’ll keep reminding you every day just how much,” he captioned the post.

In an May 2025 cover interview with British Vogue, Hadid shared the sweet story of how she met Banuelos after moving to Texas, where her mom, Yolanda Hadid, and her stepdad were building a house. The Orebella founder said she was struggling with chronic illness and “self-love issues,” prompting her to relocate.
“I’m with my stepdad,” she recalled. “We move cows, we’re on trail rides, and I’m starting to feel a little better, but just still dealing with my own stuff. Then, the next day, I meet my boyfriend.”
The actress also revealed that Banuelos didn’t have any concept of her fame when they first met. She recalled him telling her, “’I never knew who you were until I saw your face for the first time.'” Her reaction? “For me, that was such a breath of fresh air,” Hadid said.

Recently, Hadid has been promoting her latest acting gig in Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty, which also stars Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope.
Speaking with PEOPLE at the show’s New York City premiere, she revealed the “words of wisdom” her A-list castmates shared with her. They were able to “explain to me that even being crazy and weird is still positive,” Hadid said of the advice she was given. “And sometimes things are embarrassing and at the end of the day, it’s not embarrassing.”
“We’re all able to be different versions of ourselves and that’s what was most important for me on this set,” she added.
