Updated 17 April: Bella Hadid has shut down rumours that she kissed The Weeknd at Coachella. ‘It wasn’t me,’ she commented on E! News' Instagram.
You’ll be forgiven for thinking The Weeknd had eyes for only one woman (Selena Gomez) following his emotional, tear-filled rendition of his heartbreak song ‘Call Out My Name’ at Coachella on Friday night.
However, it appears the Canadian singer is actually more interested in rekindling a romance with a different ex-girlfriend, namely Bella Hadid, if rumours about his late-night affections are anything to go by.
Multiple sources have told E! News that ‘The Hills’ singer and the model were spotted kissing at a Coachella after party.
The pair reportedly kissed at Poppy nightclub's Coachella pop-up debuting Kylie Cosmetic's latest makeup line ‘KOURT X KYLIE’ during Coachella on Friday.
‘They spent the whole night together and left together. Bella looked really happy,’ explained the insider. ‘They were definitely super affectionate, cuddling each other while hanging out with their friends.
‘It was no secret.’
A source told the publication that the 21-year-old fashion star and the singer (whose real name is Abel Tesfaye) have been talking over the past few months but the couple - who split in 2016 after 18 months of dating - had their first public reunion at the music festival. And things got in-ti-mate, people.
The rumoured kiss comes six months after The Weeknd was spotted rushing out of Bella’s apartment following his split from Gomez.
Opening up about the Californian beauty’s feelings for her ex, the source revealed: ‘Bella never really lost feeling for Abel and had hope they would eventually get back together.’
An insider added that the exes have been ‘secretly seeing each other recently’ but that they 'are not official'. The source also said that The Weeknd has been ‘playing the field’ and ‘openly dating’ other women since his breakup with Selena Gomez in October 2017.
However, Bella is rumoured to want to be ‘exclusive’ with the star.
‘They are just getting back to a good place. She loves hanging out with Abel and they always have fun together and is very hopeful of their future relationship,’ the source explained.
Despite their rumoured hook-up, The Weeknd was photographed walking arm-in-arm with Justin Bieber's ex Chantel Jefferies on Saturday.
I mean, talk about a tangled web!
In November 2016, the couple called time on their romance before The Weeknd struck up a 10-month relationship with Gomez. In the months since, Bella has been rumoured to have been dating Drake but neither party has confirmed the news.
We really hope these two get back together!
