Here's Everyone Bella Hadid Has Ever Dated

Card image cap

Bella Hadid is arguably the biggest supermodel of this generation—and that inevitably means the public eye will often be turned toward her personal life.

Specifically, Hadid’s love life frequently makes headlines, whether it’s her on-and-off romance with ex The Weeknd or her ongoing love story with real-life cowboy Adan Banuelos.

Hadid previously opened up about breaking old relationship habits during a 2022 episode of Victoria’s Secret VS Voices podcast.

“I always felt like my voice was never heard growing up. So that’s why I have a lot of complications. Now, I’m able to open up and speak my mind, especially within my relationships and within my family,” she reflected. “I grew up around men—whether that was in relationships or family or whatever that was—where I was constantly told that my voice was less important than their voice.”

Hadid revealed that she had to consciously work on sticking up for herself in her romantic relationships. “Moving into relationships growing up, not having the boundaries of being able to stick up for myself and have my voice being heard, affected me in my adult relationships very intensely, actually. My nervous system would crash. It was fight or flight,” she continued. “That’s something that I really had to work on.”

Ahead, we track every person that Hadid has dated, to public knowledge.

Adan Banuelos (2023—Present)

Hadid was first linked to Banuelos in October 2023, when paparazzi photos of the two kissing and holding hands in Texas spread like wildfire online. Since, their romance has steadily progressed, with Hadid sharing snippets of their relationship to Instagram and accompanying Banuelos to the New York City premiere of Teton Ridge's Window to the West.

Hadid spends a lot of her free time in Texas—where the Mexican-American horseman is based—and has reportedly even bought a property in Fort Worth to be closer to Banuelos, according to TMZ.

Marc Kalman (2021—2023)

The supermodel sparked dating rumors with Kalman, a New York City-based art director, in July 2021 by posting PDA-filled snaps of the two together to her Instagram. Throughout their relationship, the couple was frequently spotted spending time together in New York, and Kalman occasionally accompanied Hadid when she was booked for fashion shows in Milan and Paris.

In July 2022, rumors of a planned proposal began to emerge. “Bella and Marc Kalman are so happy together. Their relationship is going very well and things are serious. They have been together for a while and are truly in love,” a source told Entertainment Tonight. “Marc is planning to propose to Bella in the fall. They have spoken about getting engaged and having their wedding in California.”

However, an engagement never happened. Insiders told ET in July 2023 that Hadid and Kalman had officially split. “They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things. Bella is a very nice person, but struggles with the pressures of fame,” the insider said. “Her split from Marc was amicable and she is always someone who takes care of herself and has been very open about it.”

The Weeknd (2015—2019)

Hadid’s years-long romance with Abel Tesfaye, otherwise known as The Weeknd, is her most publicized relationship to date.

Dating rumors first emerged in May 2015, following sightings of the two “hanging out in Coachella” and “flirting lots,” per E! News.

Hadid gave a rare comment on their relationship during a 2016 interview with Glamour: “I’m dating Abel. I don’t see him as The Weeknd. I’m proud of The Weeknd and the music he makes, but I really love Abel.”

They split up after about a year of dating, famously reuniting shortly after the breakup for the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris. Despite the seemingly amicable reunion, Tesfaye moved on with Selena Gomez, dating the actor for most of 2017.

“It was my first breakup ... and so public,” Hadid reflected in a February 2017 interview with Teen Vogue. “As an outsider, you might think I handled it so well, but it’s always in your heart, and you always feel it very heavily. It’ll be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through.”

About a month after Tesfaye’s split from Gomez, he rekindled his romance with Hadid in November 2017. They would date nearly two more years before breaking up one final time.

“They are in different places right now, physically and mentally,” a source explained to E! News at the time. “Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut.” They added, “They have been arguing a lot recently. [They] haven’t spent quality time together in months.”

A few months after their split, Tesfaye released “Heartless,” a track rumored to reference his relationship with Hadid. The lyrics seem to refer to an on-and-off-again lover: “I thought I lost you this time / You just came back in my life / You never gave up on me (why don’t you?) / I’ll never know what you see (why won’t you?).”
