Bella Hadid has sparked fresh online discussion after reportedly buying a £4.2 million ($5.5 million) mountain home in Crested Butte, Colorado. The purchase has caught attention not only because of its price and historic design, but also because fans have brought up her past move to Texas to be closer to her former boyfriend, professional horse rider Adan Banuelos.
A social media post about the new property on 10 November led some users to question whether the model has a pattern of moving closer to the men she dates. However, the discussion is based on public reports about her homes and relationships, not proof that her romantic partners were the reason behind every property decision.
Colorado Home Raises Questions
The latest property is in Crested Butte, a mountain town in Colorado. Hadid reportedly paid £4.2 million ($5.5 million) for the house, which was built in 2001 around two old coal miners' sheds dating back to the early 1900s. The home has three bedrooms, covers about 2,000 square feet, and sits on a 0.18-acre lot.

The sale was reported on 10 November, with the property having previously been listed for £5.3 million ($6.995 million) in June. Hadid had already been living in the Crested Butte area for several months, according to the property's listing agent. Her new home has also drawn attention because her reported new partner, Nathan Lacy, is connected to the same Colorado town.
The timing has given social media users another reason to discuss the model's choice of homes. Some have pointed out that her latest purchase comes after she was previously reported to have bought a house in Texas while dating another cowboy. This has led to comments about whether her love life plays a part in where she chooses to live.
Her Texas Home Purchase
Hadid's move to Texas first made headlines in March 2024, when reports said she had bought a house in the Fort Worth area. The property was said to be close to Banuelos' home, allowing the couple to spend more time together. At the time, the pair had been linked since October 2023, after they were spotted kissing in Fort Worth.

The model later appeared to confirm the move through her own social media activity. In July 2024, she shared photos of herself riding horses and called Banuelos the 'best trainer ever,' showing how much she had embraced life in Texas. Her interest in horses was not new, as she had enjoyed riding long before their relationship began.
Banuelos also spoke about their early life together during an August 2024 appearance at Along For The Ride with Andrea Fappani. He revealed that Hadid had happily lived with him in his trailer while he worked on building a home. His comments offered a rare look at their relationship and showed that the model had spent time adjusting to his life as a professional horseman.
Hadid's Fans Debate Her Choices
The two property purchases have led some social media users to connect Hadid's homes with her romantic relationships. Her Texas house was reported to be near Banuelos, while her latest Colorado purchase comes as she is linked to Lacy. These details have given fans a reason to compare the two moves.
For now, the £4.2 million ($5.5 million) purchase has brought her property choices back into the spotlight. While some fans see a pattern, others may view the moves as part of her interest in a quieter life away from the fashion world. Hadid has yet to publicly explain what led her to buy the Crested Butte home.
