Abel Tesfaye, better known by his stage name The Weeknd, is not only known for his haunting vocals and record-breaking albums, but also for his high-profile romantic entanglements. While his music often reflects emotional highs and heartbreaks, fans can’t help but wonder: who has inspired those lyrics? Let’s take a journey through The Weeknd’s dating timeline—and what’s been buzzing about his love life recently.

2025: Is The Weeknd Dating Again?
As of mid-2025, The Weeknd appears to be keeping things low-key. While the singer hasn’t publicly confirmed a current relationship, rumors have swirled about a potential romance with a European model spotted alongside him during his recent tour stops in Paris and Milan. Paparazzi images show the two dining privately and arriving at after-parties together, but nothing has been officially confirmed by either party. True to his style, Abel keeps fans guessing—offering no social media clues and no interviews addressing his romantic status.
Past Relationships That Made Headlines
Bella Hadid (2015 – 2016, 2018 – 2019)
Perhaps his most well-known relationship, The Weeknd dated supermodel Bella Hadid on and off for several years. The pair first linked up in 2015, making their red carpet debut at the 2016 Grammys. Their busy schedules reportedly caused their first split in 2016. However, by 2018, the couple reunited and were often seen traveling and attending events together. Despite rekindling their romance, they parted ways again in 2019. Many fans believe Bella was the muse behind songs like “Wasted Times” and “Die for You.”
Selena Gomez (2017)
Between his breakups with Bella, The Weeknd had a short-lived but highly publicized relationship with pop singer Selena Gomez. The two dated for about 10 months and were frequently seen together at award shows and on social media. Their split was said to be amicable, with Selena eventually reconnecting with her ex, Justin Bieber, shortly after. The Weeknd’s 2018 EP My Dear Melancholy is widely believed to contain references to both Bella and Selena.
Briefly Linked But Never Confirmed
Over the years, The Weeknd has also been linked to various models and entertainers, though many of these reports were never verified. Names like Yovanna Ventura, Rosalia (his collaborator), and more recently, Simi Khadra—close friend of the Hadid sisters—have popped up in tabloids. However, without any public acknowledgment, these stories remain speculative.
Private by Nature, Poetic in Lyrics
What sets The Weeknd apart from many other celebrities is his ability to keep the boundary between public persona and private life intact. While he gives fans a glimpse of his romantic struggles through his lyrics, he rarely discusses his personal affairs in interviews. This mystique only fuels curiosity about his love life, turning every public sighting into potential headline material.
Conclusion: Still a Mystery Man
Whether or not he is currently in a relationship, one thing is clear—The Weeknd continues to inspire intrigue not only through his music but also through his romantic choices. As fans await his next album or public appearance, the question remains: who, if anyone, will be The Weeknd’s muse in this next chapter of his life?
