In January 2017, the "Dawn FM" singer and Gomez were caught kissing in Los Angeles. Three months later, the pair went official by posting photos of each other on Instagram. They made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala that same year and even got a puppy together.
However, after dating for 10 months, Gomez and The Weeknd split. It is said the two broke up due to distance and their busy schedules. However, The Weeknd's lyrics in his 2018 hit "Call Out My Name" had fans wondering if their split had anything to do with Gomez's reconciliation with Bieber. But in July 2020, The Weeknd dropped the music video for his song "Snowchild" on Gomez's birthday, and the actor praised the track on her Instagram Story, documented by Elle.
