Did Ariana date The Weeknd?

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, known professionally as the Weeknd, is a Canadian singer-songwriter and record producer.

Known for his sonic versatility and dark lyricism, Weeknd’s music explores escapism, romance, and melancholia, and is often inspired by personal experiences.

Among the world’s best-selling music artists with over 75 million records sold, Weeknd holds several streaming and Billboard chart records.

Weeknd is the first artist to simultaneously debut on the top three on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, while “Blinding Lights” is the longest-charting song in Billboard history.

Often considered as a prominent figure in contemporary popular music, Weeknd was listed by Time as one of the world’s most influential people in 2020.

An advocate for racial equality and food security, Weeknd was appointed a World Food Programme Goodwill Ambassador in 2021.

Weeknd is also known for his involvement in high-profile relationships, having dated model Bella Hadid and singer-actress Selena Gomez.

And though never confirmed, there was a popular fan theory that Arian Grande and The Weeknd dated during their collaborative period.

A bit later, Ariana Grande married real estate agent Dalton Gomez in May 2021.
