A Full Breakdown of Bella Hadid and The Weeknd’s Maybe-Probably-Who-Knows Reconciliation
Are you wearing your dirty but still fresh sneakers? Well, you’ll need them to stay comfortable through this very long saga I’m about to break down: Are Bella Hadid and The Weeknd back together? (I ask the hard questions around these parts.)
OK, so “very long saga” might be an exaggeration. News that Hadid and the King of Melancholy are rekindling their flame first popped up in April, during music’s most sacred ritual: Coachella. Yes, it was under the sea of flower crowns and Beyoncé tears where The Weeknd and Hadid supposedly laid eyes on each other following his breakup with Selena Gomez. People magazine specifically reported the two celebrities were “all over each other,” “sitting in each other’s laps,” and “definitely looked like they were fully back together,” which means this probably—maybe? who knows?—happened.
According to Hadid, however, this story was faker than the time I told my doctor I was “really into” quinoa. The supermodel took to Instagram and shut down the accusation with two simple emoji. Commenting on E! News’ report of the gossip, Hadid said, “It wasn’t me,” alongside shrug and detective icons. Shucks!
But wait, there’s more! This is where the story gets bonkers. Not even a month after Hadid was like, “Ugh, tabloids,” photos of her and The Weeknd making out in Cannes hit the Internet. Sure, the pics are blurry, but I’m fairly confident the woman in them is Hadid—just like I’m fairly confident Dua Lipa and Dula Peep are the same person.
See the pics here.
Both of these instances bring us to the freshly made, piping-hot tea that supposedly went down this past weekend in Paris of all places. Paris! Whose love story actually unfolds in Paris besides Carrie Bradshaw? Answer: The Weeknd and Hadid’s, apparently.
An eagle-eyed fan caught the pair seemingly having lunch together in the city. Check out how Blurry Bella Hadid is staring at Blurry The Weeknd. That’s a look I typically reserve for when friends gloriously cancel plans at the last minute.

The real evidence that Hadid and The Weeknd are back on, though, is a little more involved. Look at the nails of the woman holding this sugar packet from The Weeknd’s recent Instagram Story.
Are they or are they not the same nails Hadid has in this pic (uploaded right around the same time as The Weeknd’s Instagram)? Coincidence, or Resurrected. Celebrity. Romance?

If you need any more proof, read this People magazine report from Monday (June 4) that claims Hadid and The Weeknd went on a “romantic stroll” in Paris and he put his arm around her. There’s even a photo that seems to confirm this. The story also says The Weeknd purchased some individually wrapped roses on his trip, and guess what Hadid uploaded to Instagram a few days ago? I don’t even have to tell you.

Those roses smell and look like the truth to me. Kidding. Honestly, we won’t know for sure whether Hadid and The Weeknd are back on until they say something. As we wait for that day, though, catch the entire Internet acting like this:

Sounds about right.
