Bella Hadid Shares Affectionate Photos With Nathan Lacy

Hadid did not call Lacy her boyfriend in the post, but the photos showed them embracing and watching the game together. She also praised the Avalanche for supporting Hockey Fights Cancer, writing that Saturday night was “especially meaningful” and thanking the organization for supporting cancer research and families affected by the disease. The NHL confirmed she attended the event, which honored cancer survivors and people undergoing treatment.

The post drew both congratulations and concern from followers. Some celebrated Hadid’s apparent happiness; others urged her to keep her personal life private. One commenter speculated that men around her might seek publicity, though the source provides no evidence that Lacy is doing so. Hadid and Lacy had previously been described as friends: in July, TMZ cited a source close to Hadid who said she was single and identified Lacy as the brother of her friend Rachael. Later reports placed them grocery shopping in Crested Butte over Labor Day weekend, while speculation had also followed sightings during Milan Fashion Week and a photo of Lacy reportedly seen on Hadid’s phone.

Lacy, 38, has longstanding ties to Crested Butte, according to The Blast, and works as an estimator and project manager for his family’s construction business. The company’s website says he is the fifth generation of his family to live there and began working in the business when young. His family’s reported political and religious views have also drawn attention, though neither Hadid nor Lacy has said those differences have caused tension.

The photos follow reports of Hadid’s split from professional equestrian Adan Banuelos. Their relationship became public in 2024, and reports of a breakup emerged in January 2026. Banuelos was later arrested for public intoxication in Texas and released after posting a $386 bond; subsequent reports said Hadid was with him around the time of the incident. Their later appearances prompted speculation about a reunion. Hadid has not formally defined her relationship with Lacy.
