In the episode, Beth confronts Hadid’s character Sadie and asks her what she sees in Wheatley.

“He is probably the most arrogant man that I have ever met in my entire life. Condescending. Misogynistic. At least 25 years older than you. Can you please explain the appeal?” Beth asks.

“You ever seen him ride before?” Sadie responds.

“OK. Yeah, I get it,” Beth told her.

According to The Wrap, Hadid may have ended up on the show because she is dating a cowboy named Adan Banuelos in real life, and he also appeared in the episode.

According to a September article on Hadid’s relationship in W Magazine, she “has recently become a full-time Texas resident and horse enthusiast, joining her boyfriend, the professional cowboy Adan Banuelos, in Fort Worth.”

A champion rider, Banuelos told W of his horse riding skills, “This has been a passion of mine since before I can remember. Without a doubt, there was never anything else that I was going to do.”

Banuelos also spoke to W about meeting Hadid for the first time.

“If it wasn’t for horses, I’d have never met the love of my life,” Banuelos told W of Hadid. “We met at a horse show.”

According to W, Hadid went to the horse show because her mom’s fiance was competing in it.

“It’s a passion that her whole family shares,” Banuelos told W. “I was just a lucky guy that said hi. I didn’t really know who I was saying hi to. I just knew, she’s gorgeous. And if I would’ve known, I probably would’ve stuttered my way right out it.”
