Hadid and The Weeknd could have even been rekindling their romance before Coachella. An insider told E! News that the exes have been “secretly seeing each other recently.” However, they “are not official.”
The source explained that while Hadid “wants to be exclusive,” The Weeknd has been “playing the field” since his October 2017 breakup from Selena Gomez. After all, TMZ reported that The Weeknd was spotted cuddling up with Justin Bieber’s ex, Chantel Jeffries, over the same weekend.

Plus, The Weeknd doesn’t seem to be completely over Selena Gomez. While performing “Call Out My Name” and “Privilege,” he can be seen breaking down in tears, according to People.
What prompted him to deliver such an emotional performance? Fans speculate the songs are about his relationship with Gomez, so his heart could very well still be hurting.

If Hadid and The Weeknd were to reunite, it wouldn’t be the first time. The couple first split in December 2015, but decided to reunite shortly after.
After dating for nearly another year, the two broke off their relationship again on Nov. 10, 2016. A source told E! News at the time,”[Hadid and The Weeknd] are both still very much in love with each other, but know they needed to officially break things off for a while.”

Hadid took to the comments of E! News’ Instagram post to shut the kissing rumors down. In the photo suggesting they’d been “kissing all night,” Hadid simply commented, “it wasn’t me,” along with the shrug and detective emojis.
According to Elle, while some took her comment as denial, “to other fans, it seemed less serious and more like a funny reference to Shaggy’s ‘It Wasn’t Me.’”

Whether or not the kissing rumors are true, we don’t think Hadid and The Weeknd are officially back on quite yet. The Weeknd may need more time to get over Gomez before fully committing to another relationship, and Hadid doesn’t seem to mind dismissing any rumors — for now.
