Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman have reportedly split after two years together. According to reports, their relationship came to a natural conclusion, and the pair have gone their separate ways.
A source at Entertainment Tonight said, "They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course and they decided to end things. Bella is a very nice person, but struggles with the pressures of fame. She has been trying to take care of herself since their split."
So far, neither party have commented on the reports. But who actually is Bella's reported ex? Here's everything you need to know about him.
The pair were first spotted together in 2020
Marc and Bella were actually photographed together (albeit with him hiding away behind her) in pap pics from as early as summer 2020. A source later explained to Page Six, “They hid it [their dating] well. If they went out, he would come out first, get the car, and then she would get into the car.
"They would drive to a location, and he’d drop her off but not get out and go park the car. They were very diligent about not being seen on a public street at the same time. Not once, and most of the time they were with other people, which of course made it difficult to prove that they were dating."
They went Instagram official in July 2021
Bella shared the first picture of her then boyfriend, Marc, in the summer of 2021. She confirmed the relationship with a photo of the pair kissing, along with the caption: "Time of my life. Healthy, Working and Loved ❤️🔥🌹."
The post racked up million of likes, and plenty of fans shared their excitement for the new romance in the comments section. "We love to see it" commented one Instagram user, while another added "I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU HAPPY OMG." Her sister Gigi Hadid clearly approved of the relationship too, as she commented on the post with a smiley face emoji.
Marc is an art director
March is an art director who has worked closely with Travis Scott – who was previously dating one of Bella's BFF's Kylie Jenner - and is well known for his work in the music industry. His portfolio site shows off various branding and album art work projects, including Milk Studio's Made Fashion Week. Previously, writer Periel Aschenbrand described Kalman as a good listener, a “young Fabien Baron, Charles Saatchi and Steve Jobs all rolled into one."
They met through work in New York
An E! source claimed the pair "had met before in New York City while working. He has been the creative behind many fashion projects and they have crossed paths several times." They added at the time that Bella was "completely smitten" with him, and that the relationship was serious.
He's a very private and low-key person
As well as his Instagram profile being set to private (sorry, no social media stalking here), a source at Hollywood Life explained that Marc likes to be out of the public eye. "Bella is used to dating men who are well known in the public eye. But she’s loving the fact that Marc is more low-key and behind the scenes than her previous boyfriends
"She always has so much going on and so does he. But that allows them to miss each other more often and they cherish the time they do get to spend together. They work really great together."
