Bella Hadid set a clever thirst trap for her seemingly back-on ex The Weeknd yesterday, posting a shot of herself on Instagram and using his music to give him a callout, instead of more obviously tagging him. Hadid captioned her latest shot with the line, 'As long as u know that when I land ur mine...' That's a lyric from The Weeknd's song 'Pretty'—and an appropriate use of it given Hadid was flying back to LA from Rome:

It worked, obviously: The Weeknd liked the 'gram, a rare move since the two's first breakup in November 2016. The two don't even follow each other on Instagram again yet, so either she gave him a friendly heads up or he was creeping on her page:

While Hadid and The Weeknd are not official yet, the couple has been photographed showing PDA multiple times this summer. They kissed at a Cannes party; they went on a dinner date in Paris. They last spent a weekend at his place in Los Angeles, and both posted subtle Instagram proof of it. The next day, they were seen out on a 'snuggly' dinner date in Beverly Hills. Perhaps a slow build to a formal reconciliation?
