Bella Hadid and Adan Banuelos have reunited following what sources described as a short separation, with the couple now attempting to resolve differences that placed strain on their relationship.

The split was reported on January 26, but the pair had already reconciled by the end of the month and into early February.

Us Weekly source said, “The split was brief but needed. They have been up and down since December, but she still cares deeply about him and wants to make it work.”

The couple were seen slow dancing together in a Texas bar only hours before Banuelos was arrested for public intoxication five days after the initial reports of a breakup.

According to the same source, the relationship encountered difficulties because of demanding schedules and the challenges of long distance. The insider explained, “[It started] when she got busier with work promoting her new series and taking on more campaigns and events with Orebella.”

The source added, “They also realized they had differing opinions and values about life and their future. There was a lot that was putting strain on the relationship. Adan really wanted her to be in Texas with him, but Bella was ready to spread her wings again and take on more work in Los Angeles and New York.”

Hadid has spent significant time in Texas since beginning her relationship with the professional horseman, and the insider suggested that connection has made any permanent separation difficult. “He has been a huge part of her life in Texas, so it’s been hard for her to let go,” the source said.

Friends of the couple indicated that both are committed to finding a way forward. Reports stated that Bella and Adan are now focused on finding ways to make their relationship work after recognising the pressures created by career commitments and distance.
