A Texas Night Takes an Unexpected Turn: Bella Hadid Pulled Over Just Before Adan Banuelos' DWI Arrest

You know how some nights just don't go as planned? Well, for supermodel Bella Hadid and her then-boyfriend, professional equestrian Adan Banuelos, a quiet evening in Fort Worth, Texas, certainly took an unexpected detour. What started as a regular night out in early February 2026 ended with Bella being pulled over by police and, just moments later, Adan facing a more serious run-in with the law.

It was late, around 11:30 PM on February 1st, 2026, when Hadid, behind the wheel of a GMC Yukon, caught the attention of local law enforcement. Officers in Fort Worth initiated a traffic stop, not for anything major, but reportedly for a minor infraction: failing to maintain a single lane. Imagine the surprise of the officers, and probably Bella herself, in that moment! Thankfully, after a brief interaction, the situation for Bella resolved relatively quickly and without incident. Officers noted no signs of impairment and, after a chat, she was ultimately released with just a warning. A minor scare, to be sure, but nothing more serious.

However, the night's roadside drama wasn't quite over, and the plot thickened almost immediately. It appears that while Bella was dealing with her traffic stop, Adan Banuelos, who was traveling nearby in a separate vehicle – a Dodge Ram pickup truck, specifically – was also pulled over by different officers in the same vicinity. It's one of those coincidences that just make you raise an eyebrow, isn't it?

Unfortunately for Banuelos, his encounter with the police proved to be far more serious. Following the stop, he underwent a field sobriety test, which he reportedly failed. This led to his subsequent arrest on charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI). He was later released after posting a $500 bond. A stark contrast to Bella's outcome, certainly, and a difficult end to their evening.

At the time, Bella and Adan had been publicly linked since late 2023, and their relationship often saw them spending time at equestrian events, given Banuelos's career. It's believed they had been attending a rodeo event earlier that day, making the late-night stops all the more impactful. As is often the case with high-profile individuals, neither Hadid's representatives nor Banuelos's camp offered any immediate comment on the incidents.

It just goes to show, doesn't it? Even supermodels and professional equestrians aren't immune to the occasional, unpredictable curveballs life, or indeed, the Texas highway patrol, might throw their way. A night that began with rodeo lights ended with the flashing kind, leaving an eventful footnote in their otherwise private relationship.
