Believe it or not, the dating pool in Hollywood isn’t that big and if you’re a celebrity,
it’s even smaller. So it’s not too big of a deal if you end up dating a friend’s ex
or two, or is it? Let’s get right into it!
A wise woman once said, “Exes are off limits to friends. That’s just like,
the rules of feminism.”
And that woman is the legend herself, Gretchen Wieners.
“That is so fetch!”
But…it kinda seems like that rule just doesn’t apply to Hollywood at all.
Case in point: The Weeknd and his latest boo, Simi Khadra.
Over the weekend, Abel was spotted kissing Simi in the DJ booth while
he was out celebrating his 32nd birthday in Las Vegas.
Now Simi is is one-half of DJ duo Simi Haze with her twin sister- ANDDDD
one of Bella Hadid’s good friends.
Rumors of Simi and The Weeknd’s non-platonic relationship started
in early February when they were seen going out to dinner together in Los Angeles.
We all know that Abel and Bella had a pretty long
on-and-off relationship that spanned between 2015 and 2019 – so, something
tells us Simi and Bella’s friendship might not be the same after she hears about this.
Now, when you think of super model besties,
Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber probably come to mind.
These two BFFs have A LOT in common and similar taste in men is one of them.
Back in 2015, there was a ton of speculation that Justin Bieber and
Kenny – who have been close for years, by the way – were more than just friends.
And even though it was never really confirmed,
Justin actually told Billboard in an interview back then, that of the many
women he was spotted with at the time, it was quote-unquote “never serious with Kendall.”
Well, I guess that’s why Kenny and Hailey are able to stay friends,
and go on double-dates with their men.
And just like Kendall and Hailey – Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez,
who are still besties to this day, also share an ex – Taylor Launter!
Back in 2009, Taylor L. and Selena both met while they were filming separate
movies in Vancouver and I’m not gonna lie, they made a pretty cute couple.
The two were spotted showing off major PDA out in the streets of
Canada and even went on a couple of dates before their relationship fizzled out.
Then that same year, Taylor and Taylor met on the
set of ‘Valentine’s Day,’ and from the moment they met, everything changed.
Taylor Squared ended up dating for a few months in 2009
and went through some major life moments together…
Clearly Taylor’s tan skin and sweet smile wasn’t enough to keep Tay Tay around,
so their relationship eventually came to an end.
But hey, at least he got a nice song out of it, am I right?
Anyway, Selena wasn’t the only friend
Taylor shares an ex with – she also shares one with Gigi Hadid.
Any Swiftie worth their salt remembers when Joe Jonas and Taylor dated and then broke
up over a 27-second phone call back in 2008, and Tay rode that high for quite some time.
“You might think I’d bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone
but I’m not gonna mention him in my monologue. Hey Joe, I’m doing real well.”
Well things were seemingly tense between Joe and Taylor for years but when Joe started
dating Gigi in 2015, not long after she became an official member of Taylor’s Girl Squad™,
the exes eventually squashed their one-sided beef and actually went on a double-date.
Joe with Gigi, and Taylor with her then-boyfriend Calvin Harris, obviously.
Nothing like getting over an ex by letting one of your best friends date him!
Their journey from being grouped together on the X-Factor UK and then becoming one of the
biggest girl groups of all time isn’t the only thing Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock share.
Almost 10 years after Leigh-Anne and Lucien Laviscount were linked,
Jesy was spotted getting pretty close with Lucien out in London.
In late 2021, after the two were caught on camera looking cozy,
a source told The Sun that there’s basically nothing going on between the two.
The same insider told the outlet that Jesy and Lucien “weren’t kissing” and
that she was apparently “mortified” by what was captured in the pictures.
And before Kylie Jenner and Tyga ever became a thing, she actually dated Cody Simpson in 2011!
It was a pretty brief relationship, and then a few years later,
Cody and Gigi Hadid started dating for roughly two-ish years before they broke up for good.
Before Sway House became defunct, there was some major tension between
Noah Beck and Griffin Johnson and it all happened because of Dixie D’Amelio.
The vibes were off when Noah got with Dixie
not too long after she and Griffin broke up – supposedly because of cheating allegations.
So, at the time, Dixie seemingly called out Griffin for cheating
and vice-versa – only the latter implied that Dixie had cheated on him with Noah.
So much he-said, she-said.
Near the end of 2020, Griffin eventually shared his thoughts on the matter and
revealed that while he was “pissed,” it was more so about how Noah didn’t tell Griffin about it.
But, it sounds like things between the two ended up being fine with Griffin
and Noah both appearing in one of Bryce Hall’s vlogs back in January of 2021.
