When did The Weeknd date Bella Hadid?

The former couple met in 2015 when The Weeknd asked Bella to pose for his album artwork – even though she declined, they still met up.

As they began getting serious, he bought Bella a Yorkie dog named Hendrix.

In 2016 they made their first red carpet appearance at the Grammys.

Bella told Glamour: “It was a big night for him. He has worked so hard, and he did so well that night.

“As a girlfriend, I wanted to be there to support him. Seeing him so happy when he won a Grammy made me so happy.”

But the relationship didn’t last and by November 2016 they had officially split, allegedly on good terms.

During this first split for the couple, The Weeknd started seeing Selena Gomez.

When that ended, he was spotted leaving Bella’s New York apartment.

In April 2018 they were rumoured to be back together and there was talk of engagement plans and moving in together. They were also making their reunion public through social media.

However, in August 2019 they had split again but this time due to conflicting work commitments.

A source told E!: “They are in different places right now, physically and mentally.

“Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut.”

They were said to be parting on good terms, but Bella was once spotted leaving a nightclub as soon as she saw The Weeknd arrive.

What is Save Your Tears about?

Save Your Tears is primarily about his past relationships.

It’s thought to reflect on his relationships with Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid.

The Weeknd has expressed his regrets over the way he treated them both.

The lyrics include this verse:

You could’ve asked me why I broke your heart
You could’ve told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn’t there
And just pretended like you didn’t care

Fans think the lyrics are based on an encounter he had with Bella in which she left a nightclub soon after he arrived.

When is the Weeknd’s next performance?

The Weeknd will perform during the halftime show of the Super Bowl on February 7, 2021, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The Super Bowl will be a matchup of the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Weeknd’s fans think he modeled his freaky ‘plastic surgery’ face after ex Bella Hadid as he ‘plays a character’ in new video
The singer returned to his old look in a new Super Bowl commercial promoting his upcoming halftime show.
Meanwhile, The Weeknd appeared to “diss” the Grammys as he tossed a trophy offstage in his new music video after he revealed his shocking “plastic surgery.”

Followers believe the singer’s shade is a result of getting shut out by the awards this year with no nominations.
