Bella Hadid and ex-boyfriend Abel Tesfaye, who is professionally known as The Weeknd, were at the same event following the latter's romance rumor with Selena Gomez. The former lovebirds attended a memorial concert at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 18, Wednesday, to honor ASAP Yams, who died in January 2015.
While The Weeknd performed on stage, Hadid was with Kendall Jenner whose rapper boyfriend ASAP Rocky was also in attendance, Us Weekly reported. It was unclear if the former lovers crossed paths during the event.
Hadid and The Weeknd broke up in November 2016 after an almost two-year relationship and he is now rumored to be dating Selena Gomez. The rumors started while they were working in a studio together. The two were seen on a romantic dinner at Los Angeles' Girogio Baldi on Jan. 10 and appeared to be happily into each other.
The Weeknd and Gomez had their own personal server while dining in the back room. Afterwards, they packed on the PDA outside while waiting for their cars and were comfortable holding and kissing each other in public, according to E! News.
While The Weeknd-Gomez romance is unconfirmed, many wonder how it happened and how affectd the Taylor Swift squad. Hadid and Gomez are both members of the squad, which also includes other talented and stunning women like Lorde, Lily, Aldridge, Lily Donaldson, Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid.
Fans see the new rumored romance breaking the girl code of not to date one's friends' exes, which in this case, is a recent boyfriend. If squad mates Bella and Gomez are not really close friends, then the romance could still put them in an awkward position in future squad hangouts. It may result to Swift's squad going into hiatus.
While The Weeknd-Gomez rumored romance could trigger inactivity to the squad, there are other reasons for the members to not be able to bond as they also have their own hectic schedules. Swift is reportedly working on a new album following her breakup with Tom Hiddleston.
Moreover, Gigi is dating Zayn Malik and had just completed a Victoria's Secret show with Bella. Dunham is into "Girls" final season while Aldridge is balancing her role as a wife, mother and model.
