ICYMI, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are seemingly back together, reigniting their teenage romance and planting the (dreadful) idea we too should reunite with our ex, leading to a series of very unfortunate events we have neither the time nor emotional stability to go into right now. Thanks Jelena, thanks a lot.

Anyway, while it was kinda cute to see Biebs and Selena gallivanting around with the spirit of love’s young dream newly restored, we couldn’t help but feel a bit sad for Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd.

He and Selena split a few weeks back, just as the news that she’d been ‘hanging out’ with Justin again had emerged.

But now it turns The Weeknd’s middle name is revenge. Oh, and it’s also a dish he likes served extra, extra cold.

He’s seemingly giving Justin a taste of his own medicine and has been linked to one of his exes.

Abel’s apparently been spotted holding hands and looking cosy with Yovanna Ventura (no relation to Ace, we don’t think).

The reportedly rocked up to French Montana’s birthday party in LA together on Friday night and are said to have spent most of the night looking close.

"The Weeknd was there hand in hand with Yovanna Ventura all night," a source told Us Weekly.

"They arrived together. They were holding hands. He was there for a solid two hours with her and everywhere they went they held hands."

Just to make it clear, they were holding hands.

Oh, and in case things weren’t already super complicated, Selena liked The Weeknd’s most recent photo on Instagram.

This comes after it was alleged she and Justin are officially back together, but taking things slow.

"They just backed off a little from being out there and are being a bit more low-key," a source told People magazine.
