 The Weeknd  might be singing at the Super Bowl LV half time show, but his dating history shows he is far from being a player. We all know that there isn’t a limit to how many relationships a person should have before getting married; however, the Canadian singer’s list seems quite average for someone in the entertainment industry.

The 30-year-old songwriter and record producer started his career in 2010, and as of this writing, he has been linked to only three public figures.

After his breakup with Hadid, the singer began dating Selena Gomez in 2017. For ten months, the pair attended public events and galas and became Insta-official. Unfortunately, they decided to call it quits. “Everyone wants love, but his focus is the business. He’s building a legacy. He’s young and successful with money and can have any girl he wants. Their relationship kind of came out of nowhere,” a source revealed as per the publication.

In 2019 The Weeknd released a song believed to be about the Rare Beauty founder; however, his newly released song and music video for “Save Your Tears” might also be a nod to Gomez.
