Bella Hadid and The Weeknd first started going out together in April 2015. Their relationship was going on and off for years. Initially, after a year of dating in 2016 rumors of the duo splitting up were heard. However, they were publicly back together in 2018. Before the 25-year old model and the 'Blinding Lights' artist got back together, The Weeknd started seeing Selena Gomez in the beginning of 2017. They called their romance quits in October of the same year. 

As Hadid and Gomez started following each other during this time, the 'Come and Get It' singer was unfollowed by the catwalk stunner. 

Finally, in August 2019 after almost four years of on and off, Bella and The Weeknd ended their romance and sources say this was due to them being in 'different places'.
