Bella Hadid has a new man by her side, and she isn’t keeping him a secret anymore. The supermodel shared a carousel of cozy photos with Nathan Lacy on Instagram on November 9, putting months of speculation about the Colorado cowboy to rest.
Here’s everything to know about the man who won Bella over.
Who Is Nathan Lacy?
Nathan comes from Crested Butte, Colorado, a small mountain town where his family owns a construction company, Page Six reported. He’s also the brother of one of Bella’s close friends, Rachael Lacy, an artist and fellow horse enthusiast, according to TMZ. While Bella’s career keeps her in front of the cameras, Nathan has kept a low profile, and he has not spoken publicly about their relationship.
Bella Hadid & Nathan Lacy’s Relationship Timeline
The pair first sparked romance rumors in February, when they were spotted together in Milan during Fashion Week, Extra noted. The sighting came only weeks after news of Bella’s split from Adan Banuelos broke.
The buzz picked up again over the summer, but a source close to Bella told TMZ in July that she was single and that she and Nathan were just friends. Four months later, her own Instagram told a very different story.
Is Bella Hadid Dating Nathan Lacy?
All signs point to yes. Bella’s post included photos from the Colorado Avalanche’s November 7 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Ball Arena in Denver, where she and Nathan cuddled, kissed and wrapped their arms around each other in the stands. In one shot, Nathan playfully bit her chin while she made a kissy face. Neither of them has formally confirmed the romance, but the pictures left little room for doubt.
The game doubled as the team’s Hockey Fights Cancer night, and Bella used her caption to celebrate the cause.
“Hockey Fights Cancer is such a beautiful reminder of what a community can do when it comes together, raising money for cancer research while honoring the people and families in Colorado whose lives have been touched by cancer,” she wrote.
Who Did Bella Hadid Date Before Nathan Lacy?
Before Nathan, Bella dated Adan, a professional horse trainer based in Weatherford, Texas. They were first linked in October 2023, when they were photographed kissing in Fort Worth, and they went on to date off and on for more than two and a half years, TMZ reported.
Their breakup first made headlines in January 2026, when sources told Page Six that the on-again, off-again romance had ended and that the million-dollar horses they bought together made the split complicated. Less than two weeks later, Us Weekly reported that the couple had reconciled. Then in July, TMZ revealed that Adan was blindsided to learn Bella considered herself single, since the two had spent time together in Aspen a few weeks earlier.
This time around, Bella seems happy to let everyone see exactly who she’s with.
