Selena Gomez embraces her ex The Weeknd’s new love interest Simi Khadra

She dated The Weeknd for less than a year in 2017. 

But Selena Gomez isn’t letting that stop her from hanging out with his new love interest.

The songstress, 29, posted a photo of herself hanging out with Simi Khadra, who was recently spotted locking lips with her ex.

In the photos, Selena shot her arm up in the air as she posed beside Simi and her twin sister Haze Khadra.

‘Since 2013 (blue heart emoji),’ Selena captioned the photos, suggesting they had been friends for nine years.

The second photo of the slideshow showed Selena fiercely embracing Simi as the two shared a laugh.

The hang out session comes just a few days after Simi was caught locking lips with The Weeknd at his birthday bash in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Simi placed her hands on his neck as they shared a fiery kiss, oblivious to the many guests surrounding them.

The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, has been romantically linked to Simi for some time.

Rumors first swirled about the two being an item last April, and the duo sent tongues wagging again earlier this month when they were seen leaving Sunset Tower hotel together following a dinner date.

The Weeknd’s ex Bella Hadid reportedly unfollowed both him and Simi last year, following the initial reports they were dating, though they had not been pictured together their Sunset Tower dinner date.

Simi is a part of a DJ act with her sister Haze Khadra, known as Simi And Haze, and the pair launched their own beauty line SIMIHAZE BEAUTY last year.

Last month, the DJ pair were seen at The Weeknd’s album release party at Delilah in West Hollywood, prompting fresh rumors of a romance.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd and Bella were first linked together back in April 2015, and were on and off for years.

They were first rumored to have split the following year in February, and were then back together in 2018.

Before that, he started dating Selena Gomez in January 2017 and they ended the romance in October.

It looked as if Bella and Selena were on their way to becoming friends when they followed each other on Instagram.

But then the next day the catwalk stunner reversed that decision and unfollowed the Wolves songstress once again.

The change in status was noticed by Twitter account @GomezSource.

Bella and The Weeknd called it quits again in August 2019 after four years, with sources at the time saying they were in ‘different places.’

The pair reunited in August last year during rehearsals for the MTV VMAs in more exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com.

But the singer has since been linked to the actress Angelina Jolie after stepping out numerous dinner dates together.

Last year, a source told UsWeekly: ‘Bella and The Weeknd have been in touch recently.’
