Bella Hadid talks about her boyfriend in her cover story for Glamour magazine. The brunette beauty says she is dating Abel Tesfaye and not his superstar alter ego, The Weeknd. "I'm dating Abel. I don't see him as The Weeknd," she says. "I'm proud of The Weeknd and the music he makes, but I really love Abel."
The leggy model recalls the Grammy Awards where they made their red carpet debut as a couple earlier this year. "It was a big night for him," she says. "He has worked so hard, and he did so well that night. As a girlfriend I wanted to be there to support him. Seeing him so happy when he won a Grammy made me so happy."
Bella also weighs in on Stephanie Seymour's "b***hes of the moment" remarks against her sister Gigi Hadid and fellow model Kendall Jenner. "It's crazy. I've worked with Stephanie before and loved her; she was sweet to me. I don't know if she meant it in that mean way. But even so, it's still hurtful," she says.
"My sister and Kendall work their asses off. We're all working hard," she defends Gigi and Kendall. "You just have to let your success speak for itself ... because at the end of the day, we're making our money."
Although hurt by Stephanie's comments, Bella holds no grudge. "I don't want anybody to fail. Why would you wish that upon somebody?" she says. "If you're a powerful woman and you're confident in yourself, you want other people to succeed."
