By Feb. 2016, Bella and The Weeknd had reunited. The supermodel even supported the superstar singer at the 2016 Grammys, making their official red carpet debut at the major music event. “This is YOUR day baby! I’m so proud of you,” Bella wrote on Instagram at the time. “I feel so lucky to be by your side.”

The couple packed on the PDA at the California desert music festival in April 2016.

Bella and The Weeknd posed for photos on the red carpet at 2016’s Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Awkward! Shortly after their split was revealed, Bella walked the runway as Abel performed at the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

In Jan. 2017, The Weeknd’s romance with Selena Gomez was revealed to the world when they were spotted kissing. The duo dated for 10 months before calling it quits in Oct. 2017.

In July 2018, sources confirmed to E! News that Bella and Abel were “exclusively dating and are in a great place.”

In Oct. 2018, Abel celebrated Bella’s birthday by sharing never-before-seen PDA photos with his leading lady.

In Feb. 2019, the couple wore matching camo outfits for his birthday party.

A source told E! News in Aug. 2019 that Bella and Abel had split. “They are in different places right now, physically and mentally,” the insider shared. “Abel is working on his new album and the distance has been an issue for them. Both Bella and Abel have been back and forth from LA and NYC, but at opposite times.”

“They have been arguing a lot recently, and haven’t spent quality time together in months,” the source added. “They hope to get back together at one point but for now are focusing on themselves and their projects.”
