The Weeknd holds girlfriend Simi Khadra's hand in rare appearance after partying with pals in LA
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Weeknd and his girlfriend Simi Khadra looked relaxed and rejuvenated after an evening of partying with friends in Los Angeles early Sunday morning, April 9. The pair, who have reportedly been dating since August 2022, were spotted bidding farewell to their pals after spending the evening at Roger Room in West Hollywood.
It's worth noting that the doting couple has maintained a rather private relationship since they got together and seem to be doing well. They grabbed headlines in February when they were spotted kissing at a birthday party in Las Vegas, Nevada, albeit they haven't publicly confirmed their romance as yet. Prior to Simi, the singer was romantically linked with Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez.

A relaxed evening
The 'Call Out My Name' hitmaker, 33, rocked a casual ensemble consisting of a pair of black pants, a dark T-shirt, and a black leather jacket on top. He completed the look with a billed black and white cap on his head and thick-soled boots.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old Simi oozed elegance in black boots and a long black sweater. Her blonde tresses were styled straight with bands in the front as she held her boyfriend's arm while walking along the pavement.
Who is Simi Khadra?
Simi is reportedly a DJ and social media influencer and works alongside her twin sister Haze. The siblings have founded SimiHaze Beauty, a brand that includes products for the face, lips, and eyes for a wide range of skin tones. The two have also come out with what they call an Astral Pack, constituting temporary appliques to highlight the eyes.
Music legend
Outside of his love life, The Weeknd is busy putting out one banger after another. The acclaimed artiste recently set a Spotify listening record after his song with Ariana Grande, 'Die For You,' went viral on TikTok. The hit number was originally featured on the Grammy winner's 2016 album Starboy. Its resurgence resulted in the pair coming together once again for an instrumental version and an acapella rendition to the delight of their fans.
It's also worth noting that The Weeknd holds the record for Spotify’s most-played song, 'Blinding Lights', which has been played a whopping 3.4 billion times on the platform. What's more? The Toronto-born crooner was recently named the most popular artist by Guinness World Records, putting him right up there with music legends like the late Michael Jackson.
The Weeknd recently had fans gushing after he put out a stellar concert special on HBO Max in Feb. The show -- titled 'The Weeknd Live At Sofi Stadium' -- featured one of his most memorable performances in front of a sold-out crowd. “The world needed this. Thank you,” one fan wrote on social media, while another called the concert the “Best gift ever.”
Upcoming European tour
The singer-songwriter is currently preparing for his new tour, which commences June 6 in Portugal. "Miss you… this summer belongs to Europe XO," the 'After Hours' hitmaker posted on social media about a week ago. Show dates are reportedly scheduled in Amsterdam, Ireland, London, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Estonia, and Prague, per the Daily Mail.
