Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman: Unveiling the Captivating Journey of their Romance
Bella Hadid's love life takes a new turn as she finds romance with art director Marc Kalman in 2020 Explore the timeline of their evolving relationship, from their first encounter to their journey of love and growth
Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman have decided to maintain a private relationship, following speculations of their romance that started in the summer of 2020. While Hadid previously had a highly publicized relationship with The Weeknd, lasting four years and ending in August 2019, she has chosen not to disclose much about her current partner.
Hadid and Kalman were initially linked in July 2020 when they were seen dining together in New York City.
Despite fans occasionally spotting the model with the art director throughout 2020, it was not until July 2021 that Hadid officially acknowledged their romantic relationship.
"I'm having the time of my life ⏳," she posted on Instagram. "Feeling healthy, working hard, and surrounded by love ️."
In a blurry snapshot, Hadid made her Instagram debut as a couple with Kalman, showing them getting cozy. The photo, taken in France during their visit for the Cannes Film Festival, has been removed since.
In a January 2022 episode of Victoria's Secret's "VS Voices" podcast, Hadid spoke about her previous relationships and her interactions with men, highlighting a more uplifting romance with Kalman. Having been surrounded by men while growing up, whether in relationships or within her family, she confessed that she was consistently reminded of her voice being less significant than theirs. The absence of the ability to assert herself and have her opinions acknowledged had a profound impact on her adult relationships.
Recalling the negative experiences, her nervous system crashed, triggering a fight or flight response. She acknowledged the pattern of returning to abusive relationships with both men and women, which fueled her tendency to please others. The student from Parsons School of Design emphasized a lack of boundaries in both personal and professional aspects of her life for a significant period. However, she sought therapy to attain equilibrium.
In the following month, Hadid expressed her admiration for her partner on Valentine's Day through her Instagram Story. She affectionately referred to Kalman as her "favorite dinner date" and shared a sweet photo of them kissing. The caption read, "To my bestie in a Tessie."
After being together for over two years, Hadid and Kalman decided to end their relationship in July 2023. A source revealed that the breakup was peaceful and there are no negative emotions from either party.

Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman’s Relationship Timeline: Inside the Model and Art Director’s Romance
Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman have opted to maintain their relationship in private following rumors of romance in the summer of 2020. Despite her previous high-profile relationship with The Weeknd, which lasted for four years before concluding in August 2019, Hadid has chosen to remain discreet about her current partner.
Hadid and Kalman were initially connected in July 2020 when they were seen dining together in New York City. Although observant fans occasionally spotted the model and the art director together throughout 2020, it wasn't until July 2021 that Hadid officially acknowledged their relationship.
"This was the time of my life," she wrote on Instagram. "Feeling healthy, working, and surrounded by love ❤️."
In their Instagram debut, Hadid posted a blurry photo of herself and Kalman getting close. Taken in France during their visit to the Cannes Film Festival, the picture has since been removed.
Six months later, Hadid shared insights into her past relationships and her interactions with men, highlighting a more optimistic love story with Kalman.
Speaking on Victoria's Secret's "VS Voices" podcast in January 2022, she disclosed, "Having grown up amidst men, whether in relationships or within my family, I was repeatedly made to believe that my voice held lesser significance compared to theirs. The absence of a strong sense of boundaries to stand up for myself and have my voice acknowledged deeply impacted my adult relationships."
Recalling the negative experiences, her nervous system crashed. She had to confront the constant cycle of returning to abusive men and women, which had led to her people-pleasing tendencies. Not having personal and professional boundaries for quite some time, the Parsons School of Design student later sought therapy to restore equilibrium.
In the following month, Hadid expressed her admiration for her partner on Valentine's Day through her Instagram Story. She referred to Kalman as her favorite dinner companion and shared a photo of them kissing. The caption read, "To my best friend in a Tessie."
