CONFIRMED: There is a new cowboy in Bella Hadid‘s corral, and she’s finally giving fans a good look at him!
The 30-year-old supermodel sent fans into a frenzy on Monday when she shared a series of loved up photos with 38-year-old Nathan Lacy from a Colorado Avalanche hockey game in Denver. And this wasn’t exactly a subtle introduction!
One photo showed Nathan getting a little cheeky, literally, as he playfully bit Bella’s cheek while the two cuddled up together. Cowboy by day, vampire by night??
Hot.
In another pic, Nathan wrapped his arms around Bella as they smiled for the camera, while other photos showed them embracing, laughing, and generally enjoying each other’s company. The chemistry is definitely there, folks!!
Gigi Hadid‘s sister also used the carousel to debut her striking new platinum blonde look (because apparently one major reveal wasn’t enough for a Monday).

Now, for anyone needing to be caught up on the Nathan business, let’s recap…
The pair were first linked in February after reportedly being spotted together during Milan Fashion Week. Nathan happens to be the brother of Bella’s close friend, Rachael Lacy, and reportedly works as a project manager and estimator for his family’s construction business in Crested Butte, Colorado.
Rumors continued swirling throughout the summer as the two were spotted spending time together in Colorado, including a grocery store outing over Labor Day weekend. Then came October, when eagle-eyed fans noticed what appeared to be a photo of Nathan on Bella’s phone lock screen. Not exactly subtle but still not a hard launch…
Until now, that is. With these new pics, Bella has officially hard launched their relationship! Exciiiiiting.

Girl’s got a thing for cowboys!
This relationship comes after Bella split from professional equestrian Adan Banuelos back in January. The two were together for approximately two years after meeting at a horse show in Fort Worth, Texas.
Giddy up!!
P.S. Bella also used the opportunity to highlight Hockey Fights Cancer, described by the American Cancer Society as “a joint initiative founded in 1998 by the National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) to raise money and awareness for cancer research and patient support.”
She captioned her post:
“Saturday night was especially meaningful. Honoring Hockey Fights Cancer. Thank you @coloradoavalanche for using the power of sport for something so much bigger than the scoreboard.
Hockey Fights Cancer is such a beautiful reminder of what a community can do when it comes together, raising money for cancer research while honoring the people and families in Colorado whose lives have been touched by cancer.
To those who have fought, those still fighting, those we’ve lost, and the loved ones standing beside them every step of the way. This night was for you and im so glad I could have been there!!
I’ve always loved hockey living in NYC. And being a Colorado girl at heart, growing up here since i was young, I guess it was only a matter of time before I found my way to the @coloradoavalanche. regardless of where you are in the world- the heart, the grit, the camaraderie between teammates, the passion of the players, and the absolute die hard (in the best way) loyalty of the fans is the most epic thing to watch in real life when it comes to hockey!!!! (When the gloves come off… that’s fun to watch sometimes too) but truly, there’s something so special about getting to be behind the glass, watching a sport that brings an entire community together. Best night ever!!!!”
Aww. Love that, Bella!!
