Only a Few Guys Besides The Weeknd Have Been Lucky Enough to Romance Bella Hadid

28/08/2019 - 05:10 PM

Bella Hadid's dating history includes some incredibly well-known names, and since those are the people in her social circles [1], it's really not shocking at all. Bella's dating life has been under scrutiny for years, which has led to plenty of rumours about hookups and dates that have, on several occasions, panned out to not be true at all. Like most rumours, though, some of them actually were true, and that's what we're here to round up: who Bella has actually dated [2] over the past few years — including her most prominent relationship with The Weeknd. Keep reading for the details on her most famous romances!

Matthew Morton

Matthew's relationship with Bella happened before she was a superstar model. In fact, the only confirmation of their relationship came, ironically, in a 2015 Page Six article speculating about Bella's relationship with then-boyfriend The Weeknd, in which Matthew was referred to as "[Bella's] old beau." [3]

Drake

In 2017, there were unconfirmed rumours that Drake and Bella were seeing each other. The rumours went dormant for a while until Drake dropped his album Scorpion in the Summer of 2018, with lyrics that clearly referenced [4] a relationship with Bella. According to Harper's Bazaar, though, Drake was the one who ended the relationship [5] by ghosting Bella.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Back in 2016, in between breakups with The Weeknd, Bella was reportedly pursuing a relationship with football star Odell. BET reported a source from gossip site TerezOwens that claimed, "Odell and Bella have just clicked [6]. They had known each other before, but once she split from the Weeknd, Odell reached out instantly. They really enjoy each other's company."

While neither talked about the relationship publicly and both had moved on fairly soon, that wasn't the end of their relationship. On Valentine's Day 2018, fans spotted Odell commenting on Bella's flirty Instagram post [7], saying "Valentine's Day alone... the best way" accompanied by a winking emoji. That appears to be as far as it went, since she soon reunited with The Weeknd.

The Weeknd

Hoo boy, buckle up, because the saga of Bella and The Weeknd is long and complicated. E! News first reported the newly formed couple in May 2015 [8], when a source explained to them, "[Bella and The Weeknd] have many things in common and really enjoyed each other's company. She loves his music as well. They are hanging out for sure now." Over the next couple of years, they dated and worked together too, with Hadid appearing in one of The Weeknd's music videos.

In November 2016, People reported the couple had split [9] due to the strains of work and long-distance. "Their schedules have been too hard to coordinate and he is focusing on finishing and promoting his album," a source said, adding, "They still have a great deal of love for one another and will remain friends."

By the Spring of 2018, the duo were captured by photographers several times, flirting and kissing, but didn't comment publicly; by the Summer, they were openly back together again, sharing clips on social media and attending events together. In a December 73 Questions interview [10] with Vogue, Bella called The Weeknd "my boyfriend" and noted that he's the person who makes her laugh.

In early August 2019, though, E! reported the couple had split again [11]. "They are in different places right now, physically and mentally... [They] haven't spent quality time together in months," a source revealed. But all hope might not be lost: according to the insider, this might be more of a break than a breakup. "They hope to get back together at one point but for now are focusing on themselves and their projects."
