New Celebrity Couples Celebrating Valentine's Day 2017
Love is in the air with these new celebrity couples!
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye, FYI).
Are they or aren’t they? After early reports surfaced indicating the two might be on the outs following Tesfaye’s cryptic tweet (below) and a sudden evaporation from the public eye.
The two are still on and have been together since early January. They were most recently spotted getting close at Rihanna’s GRAMMYs after party at 1Oak where Justin Bieber made an appearance… a very brief one.
Britney Spears and Sam Asghari.
Another couple “outed” by the GRAMMYs… Okay, so we knew Britney was dating this dancer/model for a couple months now. Spears and Asghari met on set while shooting the “Slumber Party” video back in November of 2016.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Can we even consider these two a “new couple”? The whispers started long before the two officially confirmed their relationship in November of 2016. The two have done their absolute best to keep out of the public eye but it’s a little bit hard considering he’s, y’know, ROYALTY and all.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.
Our favorite DNCE/Game of Thrones mash-up yet! Another couple who started heating things up last November. It’s unclear whether or not they met at a Kings of Leon concert but we do know their mutual friends are responsible for this hook up. They’ve been dating for a few months and appear to still be on. If we’ve learned anything from GoT recently, Joe doesn’t wanna mess with Sansa Stark.
Mariah Carey and Brian Tanaka.
In a weird twist of events (all captured on her TV show, naturally) Mariah Carey called it quits with billionaire fiance James Packer and jumped right into the toned arms of her long time dancer, Brian Tanaka.
It was only two months following the highly publicized split that the two made their love official. They have been together since October 2016 and I’m still not convinced this isn’t a ratings ploy.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Nina Agdal (*at the time this blog was posted, Leo was still on this particular supermodel/subject to change at any moment).
Last but certainly not least is our favorite playboy (since Clooney was removed from the running, duh) and love of supermodels, Leo. Surprisingly, he appears to be in a relationship with Nina Agdal. More surprisingly, DiCaprio and Agdal are the least “new couple” on this list. The two were spotted making out back in July of 2016 (following his brief fling with Rihanna) and have become serious over the past two months, sources say.
Honourable Mentions:
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson
Lady Gaga and Christian Carino
Peep The Weeknd's H&M Collection
The Weeknd Has a New Collection With H&M.
The Weeknd brings his flare for fashion to H&M March 2nd. That’s when you can see the full line-up both in store and online. The collection includes oversized hoodies, crew neck sweaters, bomber jackets and various street wear basics hand picked from the Starboy singer.
“I had a great time selecting my Spring Icons at H&M. I love the mix of urban pieces like bombers and hoodies with tailored shirts and blazers. Every piece is both effortless and fresh, which is just how menswear should be.”
If you’re visiting your local H&M, you’ll find his hand-picked pieces in the menswear section, though the bulk of these items are being considered unisex. Who doesn't love an oversized hoodie?
In addition to his Starboy: Legend of the Fall tour, fans can catch The Weeknd performing live at the GRAMMYs on City, February 12th. He’ll be performing with Daft Punk and sharing the stage with Adele, Bruno Mars, John Legend and more. To date, the Starboy singer has two GRAMMY awards under his belt and his collaborators, Daft Punk, have six. He is nominated as a featured artist on Beyonce’s Lemonade album this year.
After going public with rumored love interest Selena Gomez earlier this year, we’re all wondering if this weekend’s awards ceremony will be the couples first red carpet appearance.
Quick Hits: Gomez, Sheeran & Bieber
Ed Sheeran's new album Divide comes out March 3rd. After releasing two (soon-to-be) hit singles simultaneously with Shape of You and Castle On The Hill he's teasing even more new music.

I think it's safe to assume we'll be getting some new music from Sheeran on Monday... The only question is: how many songs will he put out this time?
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd in Italy
Gomez, 24, and Tesfaye, 26, were spotted being tourists in Florence on Friday. They took in the sights at the Accademia Gallery Museum, home to Michelangelo's David.

Their relationship has only been "public" for a few weeks now but rumor has it the two had chemistry when they first met at the Victoria's Secret Fashion show back in 2015. Huh... wasn't he in a relationship with model Bella Hadid sometime between then and now?
Yes. For eighteen months.
Multiple sources close to Gomez have said:
“She is friendly with them [Gigi and Bella Hadid], but not friends with them... Selena and Gigi were never fond of each other, so Selena definitely doesn’t have any stipulations about hooking up with, or dating, Bella’s ex.”
Meanwhile, a source close to Bella says she is not over The Weeknd, so this Selena stuff is hitting her hard. She still thinks there is a connection between her and her Starboy ex.
Bieber Shoots & Scores at NHL All Star Game
Justin Bieber did Canada proud at the NHL Celebrity All Star Game honouring Alan Thicke. Thicke's son, Carter, was also in attendance during Saturday's star-studded game at LA's Staples Centre. Robin Thicke was supposed to be there but cancelled last minute due to issues surrounding a family situation/custody battle with ex-wife, Paula Patton.
Bieber took some hits but held his own earning compliments from his Team Gretzky teammates. He managed to get a goal but was beaten by the buzzer.
Other stars that laced up for the event include Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Bruckheimer, David Boreanaz, Tim Robbins with performances by Snoop Dogg, Carly Rae Jepsen, Fifth Harmony and Nick Jonas.
