Selena Gomez and The Weeknd

Selena Gomez dated The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, for 10 months in 2017 before they split 

The singers could barely keep their hands – or indeed their lips – off each other as they packed on the PDAs in the VIP section of the festival back in April 2017. 

The duo were spotted with their arms around each other and smooching as they semi-paid attention to the Main Stage. 

Selena and The Weeknd went public in January 2017, when they were spotted being affectionate outside of Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

After their Coachella outing, they were seen together at the Met Gala in May and the Harper’s Bazaar Icons event, both in NYC, and Selena attended his September 16 concert in Philadelphia.

But the pair split later that year after just 10 months together, with People reporting at the time that they were having trouble for ‘months’.

Their turmoil came because of their difficult schedules while he was on tour, and she was filming the Woody Allen movie A Rainy Day In New York in NYC.

They were famously cagey about their relationship, so it was a surprise to see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart putting on a rare public show of affection at Coachella in 2013.

The Twilight stars met when Kristen was only 18 after she landed the role of Bella Swan who fell in love with his character Edward Cullen.

Their on-screen enchantment spawned a real romance between the pair, followed by a nearly four-year relationship that the actress later on referred to as ‘young and stupid.’

The pair would go on to date on and off from 2009 until 2013 before splitting for good in May of that year – just a month after their Coachella appearance. 

Their relationship hit the rocks when she was unfaithful with her Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. 

In 2017, Kristen came out as biSєxual. She is currently engaged to screenwriter and actress Dylan Meyer. The pair started dating in 2019 and got engaged in 2021.
