Sharing some love? Selena Gomez hinted at her feelings toward Bella Hadid — with whom she shares a mutual ex.
“I wish I was as pretty as Bella Hadid,” the Only Murders in
the Building actress, 30, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, February
21, alongside a TikTok video of her with a filter on her face. The clip is set
to the viral TikTok sound, “So, my name … my name is Bella Hadid.”
The “Lose You to Love Me” singer tried to create her own
version of the sound bite in a subsequent Story.
“Instead, this is me. I accidentally laminated my brows too
much. My name is Selena Gomez. See, it doesn’t even sound sexy,” she lamented.
Gomez followed up the posts with a picture of Hadid, 26. “#Girlcrush,” she
wrote alongside the photo of the supermodel.
The Disney Channel alum and the Vogue cover girl both have a
history with The Weeknd. Gomez had a 10-month romance with the 33-year-old
singer in 2017, while Hadid and the “Starboy” musician (born Abel Tesfaye) dated
on and off from 2015 to 2019.
The Spring Breakers actress and the runway star unfollowed
each other on Instagram in 2017 after Gomez became romantically involved with
the Grammy winner. After following Hadid again in November 2019, the “Wolves”
songstress made headlines later that month for commenting on one of the Washington
D.C. native’s photos.
“Stunning,” she
gushed about a picture of Hadid, along with a heart-eye emoji. The Kin
Euphorics cofounder later removed the post without explanation. When a fan
pointed out that the photo had been deleted, Gomez commented on the fan’s
upload, writing, “That sucks,” and adding a crying emoji.
After some Instagram users wondrered whether the Monte Carlo
star was throwing shade, Gomez clarified her intentions in a subsequent
comment. “I shouldn’t of [sic] spoken without knowing the truth. I’m sorry.
Please don’t be hurtful. She is a wonderful person and it was all a
misunderstanding,” she wrote.
In addition to speaking highly of Hadid, the Wizards of Waverly
Place alum opened up about her amicable split from The Weeknd during a November
2017 interview with Billboard.
“Something that I’m really proud of is that there’s such a
true friendship [between us],” she told the outlet at the time. “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.”
Prior to her relationship with the “Blinding Lights” singer,
Gomez dated Justin Bieber on and off from 2011 to 2018. In January, Us Weekly
broke the news that the Another Cinderella Story actress is dating Chainsmokers
musician Drew Taggart.
“They aren’t trying to hide their romance by sneaking around
at members only clubs,” a source exclusively revealed, noting that the pair are
“very casual and low-key.”
Hadid, for her part, has been dating art director Marc
Kalman for over two years. The pair first sparked romance speculation in July
2020 when they were spotted having dinner together in New York City.
