Bella Hadid and The Weeknd Are Definitely Back Together

It seems Bella Hadid and The Weeknd are rekindling their on–again, off–again romance after the pair was spotted partying all night at pal Kylie Jenner‘s 21st birthday bash in Los Angeles.

According to ELLE, Hadid took the “Starboy” crooner as her plus-one to the lavish Barbie-gone-wild themed party, which was attended by other celebs like Kendall Jenner, model Winnie Harlow and French Montana. The couple documented the night’s festivities with flirty photos and videos posted on social media.

The paparazzi also snapped the lovers leaving Jenner’s shindig in matching black outfits; Hadid wearing a plunging blouse and jeans while The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel, sported a hoodie and dark pants. The Daily Mail reported that Hadid and the singer have been virtually inseparable since reuniting in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where they decided to give their relationship another shot.

The two started dating in 2015 after getting cozy at Coachella but it was splitsville by November 2016. After their breakup, The Weekend dated former Disney Channel star Selena Gomez from January 2017 until October that same year.

“As an outsider, you might think I handled it so well, but it’s always in your heart, and you always feel it very heavily,” Hadid told Teen Vogue of their split at the time. “It will be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through.”

When asked in a New York Times interview if he was in love, The Weekend gave a cryptic answer that only added fuel to the fire.

“I don’t know, to be honest with you,” he said in 2015. “I don’t think so. Maybe. It’s no, it’s yes, it’s maybe.”

The couple went through a series of breakups and make-ups over the years, thanks in part to their busy travel schedules, but things seem to be back on track for now.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
