Selena Gomez and The Weeknd Split After 10 Months: ''It's Been Hard for Months''

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) have called it quits.
E! News can confirm the duo—who started dating in January—have decided to go their separate ways, and it was a decision that was a long time coming. In fact, a source tells us they've been discussing the fate of their relationship since the summer.
"It's been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading, but it's been hard for months," the insider tells us. "They have been open and honest about it and where they were going. Distance definitely played a factor."
As we saw throughout the European leg of The Weeknd's tour, Gomez always made an effort to attend his shows. However, when she began filming in New York and he continued in his tour, things got more difficult.

"They are still talking and will remain friends," our source adds. "They have been very grown-up about it."
The news comes as no major surprise, considering Gomez's recent hang outs with her ex, Justin Bieber. However, our insider says Bieber "did not play a factor" in Gomez's relationship with The Weeknd coming to an end.

As we reported earlier, Gomez and Bieber were spotted hanging out at Gomez's home last weekend and again this weekend, grabbing breakfast and attending church together in Westlake Village, Calif.
Our source said Gomez and The Weeknd split before she met up with Bieber on Sunday and further confirmed there's "nothing romantic" going on between them. Still, another source noted that The Weeknd was "upset" to see them hanging out "twice in the same week."
Meanwhile, Gomez and The Weeknd first sparked dating rumors after they were spotted kissing in Los Angeles in January. After that, they took their romance public, often photographed showing major PDA at events and dinners across the globe.
They attended Coachella Music and Arts Festival together as well as the 2017 Met Gala. Most recently, the couple shared a sweet moment at New York Fashion Week in September, smooching on the carpet ahead of the Harper's Bazaar party.
The Weeknd previously dated Bella Hadid for a year before they split in Nov. 2016, and Gomez dated Bieber for three years, from 2011 to 2014.

PDP in another worrying situation as court order threatens national convention October 21, 2017 The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have found itself in another worrying situation ahead of its December 9, national convention. A Federal High Court sitting in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, had asked the party not to recognise its new South West zonal executive committee. It also ordered the Senator Ahmed Makarfi led National Caretaker Committee (NEC) not to bar the Chief Makanjuola Ogundipe-led executive committee of the zone and the zone’s delegates at the party last national convention. The PDP had during its Special Non-elective National Convention on August 12, 2017 dissolved the Ogundipe-led executive committee of the zone and some states executive committee like Ogun State.

Beyoncé Changes Her Email Address Every Week, Says Ed Sheeran by   CORINNE HELLER   |  Sun., Dec. 3, 2017 9:04 AM Kevin Winter/WireImage It appears that getting in touch with  Beyoncé  can be almost Mission: Impossible, as she uses burner email accounts, according to  Ed Sheeran . The British singer got the pop queen, the  highest-paid woman in music , to lend her vocals to a new  remix of his single "Perfect"  and talked about the way he got in touch with her. "I have an email address that I email that actually changes every week," Sheeran told  ET  at  KIIS-FM's recent 2017 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball . "She's very good at [hiding]. It's kind of like what I aspire to be, I think." "So I emailed that and then we got on the phone, and it's been in the works since May," he said. Beyoncé, who had welcomed twins  the following month, has not commented on her alleged covert email operations.  Beyoncé's
