Bella Hadid has shared affectionate photographs with Nathan Lacy, renewing speculation about their relationship months after a report described them as friends.
The 30-year-old model posted the carousel on November 9 after attending the Colorado Avalanche’s November 7 game against the Detroit Red Wings at Ball Arena in Denver.
Hadid did not call Lacy her boyfriend in the caption. Her message instead focused on her love of hockey and the charitable purpose of the evening.
Lacy’s sister, Rachael, is one of Hadid’s close friends.

The collection includes several close-ups, with Lacy wrapping an arm around Hadid as they smile for the camera. One playful image shows his mouth against her lower cheek as she puckers her lips, while another captures them embracing.
Hadid wore an Avalanche jersey and baseball cap, with platinum-blonde, shoulder-length hair visible underneath. She also included a photograph of herself eating a hot dog. Page Six noted that it was unclear whether the lighter look came from dye or a wig.
In her caption, Hadid recalled enjoying hockey while living in New York and described herself as a “Colorado girl at heart,” referring to time spent in the state since childhood.
Lacy’s Colorado Background and Earlier Sightings With Hadid
Lacy works as an estimator and project manager at his family’s business, Lacy Construction, in Crested Butte. His company biography says he began working there at an early age and is the fifth generation of his family to live in the mountain town.
The pair were photographed together during Milan Fashion Week in February. The South China Morning Post later identified them in the picture Rachael shared in July.
A source told TMZ on July 20 that Hadid was single and Lacy was a friend. That account did not come directly from Hadid.
Over Labor Day weekend, they were photographed grocery shopping together in Crested Butte, an outing covered by Harper’s Bazaar.
Hadid’s previous relationship with horse trainer Adan Banuelos became public in October 2023. Their split was reported in January 2026. In February, Us Weekly reported that they had reconciled.
Hadid Dedicates Her Post to Hockey Fights Cancer
“Saturday night was especially meaningful,” Hadid wrote, thanking the Avalanche for supporting cancer research and recognizing affected Colorado families. She paid tribute to people who had faced the disease, those still undergoing treatment, those who had died and the loved ones supporting them.
The NHL noted that players arrived in lavender jerseys and used matching stick tape on the ice.
Colorado won 4-0, with Mackenzie Blackwood making 27 saves and Martin Nečas contributing two goals and two assists.
