Supermodel Bella Hadid just opened up about her recent split from The Weeknd.

In an interview with Teen Vogue, the 20-year-old admitted that she’s still hurting from the breakup. After all, when she loves someone, she gives the relationship her all. “It was my first breakup – or second, next to the horse – and so public. As an outsider, you might think I handled it so well, but it’s always in your heart, and you always feel it very heavily. It’ll be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through. But I’ll always respect him, and I’ll always love him. Sometimes you want to be sad about it or handle it differently, but at the end of the day, you never want to burn a bridge that you’ve fought so hard to build,” she said.

According to US Weekly, Hadid and The Weeknd were together for two years before they decided to go their separate ways in November 2016. A source told the publication that their conflicting schedules were to blame. “They still have a great deal of love and respect for each other and will remain friends, but it has been too hard to coordinate their schedules with him finishing and promoting his ‘Starboy’ album. They really tried to make it work,” the insider said.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd has already moved on from Hadid and is now dating Selena Gomez. A source told E! News that The Weeknd has already told Gomez how much he cares about her. The source added that the two have a very strong connection with each other, and the singer is proud to have Gomez by his side. As of late, both Gomez and The Weeknd have not yet confirmed the real status of their relationship, but they were recently spotted in Italy together.
