Your eyes do not deceive you. It’s Bella Hadid – freshly platinum blonde and freshly tanned, apparently – and her new boyfriend Norman at a hockey game in Denver. The 30-year-old got off to a hard start in her relationship with Nathan Lacy And her new hair color in an Instagram post on Monday, killing two birds with just one post.
The post, which is apparently about Hockey Fights Cancer, according to Hadid’s caption, includes several PDA-filled photos with Lacy from Saturday’s Colorado Avalanche game against the Detroit Red Wings — which the Avs actually won.
“Hockey Fights Cancer is such a beautiful reminder of what a community can do when it comes together,” Hadid wrote in her caption. Lacy isn’t mentioned at all (baby steps), but it’s clear they’re comfortable together. In the final slide of the carousel, Hadid sits on her knees in the back of a rickshaw after the match. And before you label her a fake fan or a girl who absorbs her boyfriend’s interests, Hadid says she’s been an avid hockey fan ever since she moved to New York almost a decade ago.
Lacy is a fifth-generation cowboy from Crested Butte, Colorado, where he works as an estimator and project manager in his family’s construction company. The Lacys also own a ranch in Crested Butte where, like Hadid and her latest boyfriend, they practice cutting horses. He and Hadid have a lot in common — she wrote in her Instagram caption that she’s a “Colorado girl at heart” and grew up in the state (although her childhood in Malibu was chronicled in THE The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills).
According to reports, Hadid met Lacy through her sister, Rachael, an artist and fellow equestrian. According to TMZ, Hadid’s camp denied the dating rumors when she and Lacy were first spotted together in July, telling the outlet that the two were “just friends.” Since then, they have been photographed together several times.
Hadid was previously linked to Adan Baneulos, a rodeo star and horse cutter in Fort Worth, Texas. The on-and-off couple reportedly split in early 2026 after about two years together. We can’t say she doesn’t have a type.
