Supermodel Bella Hadid surprised fans with a cameo in episode 13 of Yellowstone’s fifth and final season, portraying Sadie, the girlfriend of Taylor Sheridan’s character, horse trainer Travis Wheatley. Known for her real-life equestrian talents, Hadid’s character first appears when Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) visits Travis’ Texas ranch.
Sadie greets Beth at the door with a sharp quip, setting the tone for their interaction. Later, during a horse auction, Sadie explains her admiration for Travis, earning Beth’s understanding after witnessing his impressive horsemanship. Travis showcases his salesmanship by selling a horse for $3 million, prompting Beth to encourage him to attend an auction at the Yellowstone ranch.
Hadid’s role extends to the Yellowstone auction, where she demonstrates her riding skills, dressed in authentic Western attire. This marks the first on-screen appearance of Hadid’s equestrian expertise, which she has shared on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she celebrated her success in horse competitions, including winning a championship buckle.
The episode also features other notable guest stars. Bart Johnson, Blake Lively’s brother-in-law, appears in a bar scene, while the band Turnpike Troubadours performs during the live auction. These moments add richness to the narrative as Yellowstone approaches its conclusion.
Taylor Sheridan’s ability to incorporate Hadid’s real-life talents into the storyline highlights the show’s dedication to authenticity. Fans can catch new episodes of Yellowstone every Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the Paramount Network.
