Cowgirl: Bella Hadid Wins Cowgirl Award, Stars in Western

Bella Hadid won the National Horse Racing Association's Rookie of the Year award amid her filming of the Western Yellowstone. The 28-year-old model shared her achievements on Instagram*.

"Incredible! Rookie of the year! I really enjoyed coming to the show to support my boyfriend, stepdad, friends and community; I felt happy just from that. I started doing well almost immediately and six months later we found out I was up for rookie of the year so I decided to give it my all and see what happens!"

Bella also thanked her 35-year-old boyfriend Adan Banuelos for his support: "Adan has always believed in me. From the first day we went together, and he gave me confidence and belief in myself. I couldn't have done it without him! With hard work, kindness and passion, anything can happen."

The romance between one of the most famous models of our time, Bella Hadid, and cowboy Adan Banuelos became known last fall. The model soon moved to Texas to be with her lover. Bella often comes to the rodeo to support her boyfriend, and he called her "a simple person" in a recent interview. Having been fond of horseback riding since childhood, Bella began to often appear in public in cowboy-style outfits.

It was recently revealed that Bella Hadid has a cameo role in the final season of Yellowstone. Yellowstone was first released in 2018: it is a western starring Kevin Costner, in which a millionaire farmer runs a huge ranch on the border of a national park.
