Tesfaye began dating model Bella Hadid at the beginning of 2015. They were first seen together in April at Coachella. Hadid later starred in his music video "In the Night" in December. They also made a red carpet appearance as a couple at the 2016 Grammy Awards. In November 2016, it was reported that the couple had split. Their reasoning for the split was their conflicting schedules. Tesfaye reportedly started dating Selena Gomez in January 2017 and they moved in together temporarily in September 2017 in Greenwich Village, New York. They broke up in October 2017. By May 2018, Tesfaye and Hadid began dating again, and split in August 2019. The two have had an on and off relationship.
