Selena seemed fine with her ex dating her friend. Since parting ways, Selena has referred to The Weeknd as her "best friend."

She told Billboard they ended their romance on good terms in an interview published in November 2017.

"The best part [of being single]? 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]," she said 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."

It's A Small World

Romance rumors began when The Weeknd was spotted with Simi numerous times in LA, E! News reported.

However, a rep told the site that they are “not dating” and have "been friends for years."

Apart from Selena, Simi and her sister Haze are seemingly close with The Weeknd’s other ex-girlfriend Bella Hadid, 25, and has even posted several pics with the supermodel on their Instagram.

The musician had an on and off relationship with Bella from 2015 to 2019. She's currently dating art director Marc Kalman, 33, while The Weeknd was most recently linked to Angelina Jolie, 46.
