The Weeknd is reportedly dating 29-year-old DJ Simi Khadra and has been romantically involved with her for some time
Rumors that the two were a couple first circulated in April 2021, and she and the duo fueled the chatter when they were spotted leaving the Sunset Tower Hotel together in February 2022.
Earlier this year, the two were seen kissing passionately while celebrating the singer-songwriter’s birthday in Las Vegas.
Simi placed her hands on his neck as they shared a fiery kiss, seemingly unaware of the multitude of guests around them.
