Banuelos, 36, a celebrated horse trainer and rider known for his success in competitive equestrian events, was taken into custody in the Weatherford area near Fort Worth shortly after midnight on January 31, 2026, when deputies from the Parker County Sheriff’s Office determined he was intoxicated in a public space. He was processed at the Parker County Jail before being released later that morning.
The arrest comes days after reports emerged that Hadid and Banuelos had ended their relationship after more than two years together — a high-profile pairing that drew significant media attention due to Hadid’s status as an international fashion star and Banuelos’s prominence in the equestrian world.
Banuelos first came into the spotlight in Hollywood circles in late 2023, when he began dating Hadid shortly after she relocated to Texas. Prior to his arrest, he had been competing at events such as the 4YO Open Derby at the Bosque Ranch Winter Bash, illustrating that the incident followed a day of equestrian activity and competition.
Sources say the circumstances leading to Banuelos’s arrest remain unclear, and neither he nor his representatives have publicly commented on the incident. Representatives for the sheriff’s office also declined to provide additional details beyond the public intoxication charge and release information.
The arrest has sparked renewed curiosity about Banuelos’s personal life and the status of his relationship with Hadid, particularly because video and eyewitness accounts suggest the two were seen together just hours before his arrest, raising questions about whether they had in fact finalized their reported split. In footage shared online, the pair were reportedly dancing and displaying public affection at a Weatherford bar before the detention.
Banuelos hails from a well-known equestrian family and has achieved significant success in his sport. He is the son of Ascencion Banuelos, the first Mexican-American inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame, and himself has been recognized multiple times for his riding accomplishments.
While the public intoxication arrest is a relatively minor legal matter under Texas law, it comes at a moment of heightened media focus on Banuelos’s life and private affairs following the end of his relationship with one of the world’s most photographed models. The couple’s romance which included high-profile appearances and a shared interest in Western culture was seen by many fans as a blending of fashion and equestrian worlds.
As of now, Banuelos has not been charged with any additional offences, and there are no reports of injuries or other complications related to the incident. Local courts list his release following the posting of bond as complete, with no further scheduled appearances tied to this charge at present.
Hadid has neither confirmed nor directly commented on the arrest or the status of her relationship with Banuelos in public statements, though reports indicate she has been focused on her work and personal projects in the weeks since news of their breakup surfaced.
