Celeb Selena Gomez dated The Weeknd throughout 2017, but one person who clearly wasn’t happy for the pair’s relationship was Bella Hadid.
The model, who had shared an on-again, off-again relationship with The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, was said to have been blindsided when news broke of her ex’s relationship with Selena because she was under the impression they on a break — not a full-on break-up.
To make matters worse, Selena had always been close friends with Bella’s sister, Gigi Hadid, so the fact that she was dating The Weeknd while Bella was said to have been left in the dark about the whole situation only made things that much worse.
Bella has made it no secret that she’s no fan of the “Hands To Myself” singer, and here’s why.
Bella Hadid’s Feud With Selena Gomez
According to reports, Bella and The Weeknd ended their romance at the end of 2016, having both felt as if neither one of them had time to commit to the relationship.
The R&B singer had just released his record-breaking third studio album, Starboy, while his ex was traveling the world, booking modeling jobs that were ultimately keeping her away from family, friends, and, of course, her boyfriend.
So when Bella found out about The Weeknd had started seeing Selena, sources claimed that she was outraged by the move and vowed to never reconcile with her former flame.
Sources told In Touch in January 2017, the same month Selena and her new beau would go public with their relationship, had been seeing each other for a couple of months, adding that their romance alleged overlapped the time Bella was still with The Weeknd.
“Selena wasn’t honest with a lot of her friends about what was going on. The Weeknd strung her along for months, promising he would end things with Bella. Hadid had her suspicions that there was someone else, but little does she know that person is Selena!”
At the end of January 2017, Bella decided to unfollow Selena on Instagram, giving fans all the more reason to believe there was tension brewing between the two, yet the model kept it classy and decided not to address the matter in public.
Then, in March 2017, things took an interesting turn when the couple both decided to unfollow Bella from their social media handles but they continued following her sister, Gigi.
In April of that year, The Weeknd and Selena made things official on Instagram when they posted their first selfie together.
The two would go on to enjoy a trip to Italy together before enjoying a few more months with each other when news broke that Selena had called it quits with the I Feel It Coming singer-songwriter in October 2017.
Insiders claimed that the Disney alum had ended the relationship but hoped to remain close friends with The Weeknd, which more or less implied that things hadn’t ended on bad terms between them.
Selena, who then returned to Justin Bieber, decided to follow Bella again on Instagram — she even left a positive comment under one of her photos, but the feeling was far from mutual as the brunette chose not to return the favor and even went as far as to delete the remark.
In April 2020, Bella decided to put the long-running feud behind her as she decided to follow Selena once again, but not for long because no more than a month after making the move she once again unfollowed her.
“Please don’t tell me Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez are feuding again? She literally just followed her a few weeks ago and already decided to unfollow her again,” one curious fan wrote on Twitter.
Another chimed in, saying, “Kinda shocked that things escalated so quickly. We don’t know what made Bella Hadid unfollow Selena but why even bother following her, to begin with?”
People were puzzled by the fact that Bella had somewhat led people to believe there may have been another issue between her and Selena that occurred in the month she started following her again, but those theories can’t be confirmed or denied.
Selena, clearly unfazed by all of the drama, decided to keep following Bella and Gigi.
It seems that the A Year Without Rain songstress truly has left any feud with Bella in the past, and though she doesn't seem to be in contact with the latter anymore, she's mature enough to move on from the drama.
After all, it's been four years already.
