The end, maybe

WE GO AGAIN

IT’S all over – again – for THE WEEKND and

BELLA HADID. This is the couple’s second

official breakup since they started dating

in 2015, but it might not be a forever-split,

with sources claiming they “hope to get back

together... but for now are focusing on

themselves and their projects,” E!

Entertainment reported.

The Canadian singer and producer admitted

to Rolling Stone that he’d enlisted Bella to

model for his album Beauty Behind the Mad-

ness so he could meet her. They started dating

and made their red carpet debut as a couple

at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

Their first split was in November that year,

with insiders saying their busy schedules

made it hard for them to spend much time to-

gether. The Weeknd then dated Selena Gomez

for nearly 10 months and Bella supposedly had

a brief fling with Drake.

They reconciled by May last year when they

were seen making out at a party in Cannes, and

then moved in together. Wedding bells were

ringing,sourcesclaimed,andthecouplecele-

Hobbs & Shaw took $180 million (R2,7 bil-
lion) in its first week at the box office world-
wide, unseating The Lion King for the number
one spot. But Tyrese said this was “not a win”
for the franchise.
“Again my respects cause he tried his best,”
he added. “The world is clearly used to being
severed [sic] its Thanksgiving meal a certain
way... they want the table to ‘include’ all its
flavors and all of its usual ingredients.”
In 2017 Tyrese moaned bitterly about the
spinoff movie delaying Fast & Furious 9’s re-
lease to 2020. That film is now in production.
The Rock has not responded to Tyrese’s lat-
est rant, but last year said that “Regardless of

a fewwhodon’twantittohappen,forwhatever

reasons, I know that big picture, long-term,

[expanding the franchise] is the best thing for

everybody.”
