Bella Hadid still 'great friends' with ex The Weeknd

Model Bella Hadid remains "great friends" with R&B star The Weeknd, despite their recent love split.

The young couple dated for almost two years before busy schedules reportedly forced the pair to part ways in early November (16), but Bella proved she had nothing but love for the singer as they reunited in Paris, France on Wednesday (30Nov16), at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The Weeknd performed as his ex-girlfriend made her runway debut for the top lingerie brand at the Grand Palais.

In photos taken at the big bash, Bella, wearing a lacy grey bodice, smiled at the Can't Feel My Face hitmaker as she walked towards him, while he appeared to only have eyes for the beauty as he watched her strut past on the catwalk, which doubled as his stage.

Before the event got underway, Bella told Entertainment Tonight that coming face to face with The Weeknd wouldn't be awkward at all, as their break-up had been amicable.

"He's the best, we're still great friends," she explained. "I'm excited. It's his second show (for Victoria's Secret), so I know he's gonna kill it."

Bella also had the support of her older sister, Gigi, at the show - the 21-year-old returned for her second year as a Victoria's Secret Angel in Paris, making the Hadids the first siblings to appear in one of the brand's shows.

Their mother, former model Yolanda Hadid, also flew to Paris to cheer on her daughters from the audience.

"She's the cutest thing on the planet and I'm so happy she is here," Bella smiled. "She got in yesterday. We had a little dinner and she's just my comfort."

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which also features a performance from Lady Gaga and models Kendall Jenner, Adriana Lima, Martha Hunt and Lily Aldridge, is set to air around the globe in the coming weeks.
