The Weeknd’s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez posted a surprise Instagram in support of The Weeknd’s rumored new girlfriend Simi Khadra and her twin sister Haze Khadra this afternoon, signaling she has no issue with Simi’s new relationship. “Since 2013 💙,” Gomez wrote, posing alongside the twins.

The move has interesting timing. It comes after Simi’s romance with The Weeknd made headlines—along with its apparent impact on Simi’s close friendship with The Weeknd’s longtime on-off ex Bella Hadid. Hadid no longer follows Simi and Haze at their joint Instagram @SimiHaze, with outlets claiming the unfollow happened after Simi and The Weeknd dating rumors broke. Simi and The Weeknd were filmed kissing at The Weeknd’s Las Vegas birthday party during the weekend; TMZ ran the footage.
Hadid is currently dating Marc Kalman and has been with him for over a year.
A source told Entertainment Tonight that Simi and The Weeknd are casually together. The source said, “The Weeknd and Simi have been seeing each other and having fun together. They were acting very couple-y this past weekend at his birthday celebration in Vegas. It’s easy since they have known each other for a long time. Simi is supportive of The Weeknd and they have a natural flirtation and chemistry.”
Gomez and The Weeknd dated from January to October 2017. Gomez has shown public support for The Weeknd since the split and described him as a friend in November 2017.
“The best part [of being single]?” Gomez said then. “It’s actually… you know what, though? Something that I’m really proud of is that there’s such a true friendship [between me and The Weeknd]. I truly have never experienced anything like that in my life. We ended it as best friends, and it was genuinely about encouraging and caring [for each other], and that was pretty remarkable for me.”
When The Weeknd first started dating Gomez, Hadid unfollowed Gomez on Instagram. She eventually refollowed Gomez in spring 2020, only to unfollow her again shortly after. Gomez and Hadid have signaled support for each other over the years, though, and Gomez still follows Hadid on her own Instagram.
Hadid and The Weeknd first dated for a year and a half before ending their relationship in November 2016. Then they started hanging again in November 2017; they went on to fully rekindle their relationship in July 2018. Hadid and The Weeknd broke up again in August 2019. A source said then that they had hope for the future: “They hope to get back together at one point but for now are focusing on themselves and their projects,” that source said.
