The Weeknd – The One That Almost Worked
In 2017, Selena embarked on a seemingly fresh start with The Weeknd. Their ten-month relationship was widely considered a genuinely happy time. However, their bond dissolved due to scheduling conflicts, just as Justin Bieber re-entered her life. The separation was amicable, with real feelings involved, and Selena later characterized it as a truly unparalleled friendship. Yet, amicable endings do not necessarily resolve underlying patterns. The Weeknd proved Selena's ability to choose wisely, but also that outside forces could still break a relationship apart.
