Who Is Bella Hadid’s Ex-Boyfriend Marc Kalman?
After two years of dating, Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman have ended their relationship.
Entertainment Tonight reported on Thursday that the couple broke up this past spring.
“They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things. Bella is a very nice person, but struggles with the pressures of fame,” a source explained, adding, “Her split from Marc was amicable and she is always someone who takes care of herself and has been very open about it.”
The supermodel and Kin Euphorics partner confirmed she and Kalman were in a relationship in 2021 via multiple social media dispatches, including romantic and PDA-filled photos. Since then, the low-profile couple has been spotted out and about in New York City, Paris, and Milan.
Kalman is Hadid’s first relationship since her on-and-off-again love affair with the Weeknd, which officially ended in 2019. “[Hadid and the Weeknd] are in different places right now, physically and mentally,” a source told E! News at the time.
Ahead, everything we know about Kalman and his romance with the runway star.
He’s an art director.
In addition to boasting titles such as “fashion assistant” to The New York Times and T Magazine, Kalman is apparently well acquainted with the celebrity-fashion sphere, having designed Made Fashion Week’s logo art and an album cover for Travis Scott, among other high-profile gigs, Page Six reported.
Though the artist remains low-profile on social media, with a private account on Instagram, he has garnered a following on the platform, including figures like late fashion designer Virgil Abloh, musician Diplo, and model Fai Khadra.
Bella liked to keep their relationship private.
Last year, the model opened up about working hard to keep her relationship with Kalman private.
“I think that’s why things have been able to last,” she said of her boyfriend of nearly two years at the time, seemingly contrasting her relationship with Kalman against her high-profile relationship with the Weeknd. “When you give other people room to have opinions on things that are so personal to you, it poisons it.”
The two first sparked dating rumors in July 2021.
While spending time in France for Paris Fashion Week and the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, Hadid posted a photo dump to Instagram that gave followers a glimpse at her weeklong bout of engagements. The featured photos included one of the model posing in front of the sea in a revealing pink plaid outfit and, most captivatingly, a final slide of her looking intimate with Kalman.
She captioned the post, “Time of my life … Healthy, Working and Loved.”
They met through mutual friends.
According to The Sun, Hadid and Kalman were introduced through mutual friends, and were reportedly first spotted together in June 2021 on a lunch date in New York City.
