Bella Hadid Is Single, Source Says, Amid Rumors About Artist Friend
The model is enjoying downtime in Colorado, not a new romance. A source clarifies the nature of her connection to the artist friend at the center of the rumors.
In February 2026, Bella Hadid was in Milan for Fashion Week. She wasn't alone. Artist and horse enthusiast Nathan Lacy joined her, a sighting that set tongues wagging about a new romance for the model. Now, a source is setting the record straight.
The insider clarified that Lacy is the brother of Hadid's close friend, Rachael Lacy, making their connection a platonic one.
The Source of the Speculation
The recent rumors appear to have stemmed from that trip to Italy months ago. Since her split from Texas-based cowboy Adan Banuelos in January 2026, fans have been watching Hadid's love life closely.
The source added that Hadid has been enjoying downtime in Colorado this summer with friends and family. No official statement has been made by Hadid or Lacy; the clarification comes solely from a third-party source.
Hadid recently shared a vulnerable message about physical and mental "hardships" as she detailed chronic illness flare-ups, signaling a focus on her well-being. For now, it seems the supermodel is riding solo.
