Dua Lipa and alleged air pod thief Anwar Hadid are over.
I had been waiting for the announcement! Which I’m sure Yolanda ensured would be buried by Christmas or whatever, but not for me. The news broke on December 23, as did my heart. Apparently there were “crisis talks” about the relationship for some time, but ultimately it wasn’t working because she travels so much for work and he????
I have been watching Beverly Hills and I forgot that my favorite plot line, Yolanda’s Munchausen’s, is the same season as Erika Jayne’s debut. Erika wears jeans one time when other women are wearing dresses, it’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. She says “take care and be good to one another” at the end of her set, and I’m so glad she’ll be back next season. I’m excited about Will Smith’s ex wife joining the cast! Kyle, who cannot for the life of her be on speaking terms with both of her sisters at once, is really mad people hold grudges about the OJ trial. Season six is a gift.
Also…this happens when you Google Munchausen’s, which I did to triple check I didn’t misspell it because Munchausen’s is probably the only word I would be embarrassed to misspell.
Hi Jameela!
As a person of sometimes not getting the pity I want from medical professionals and loved ones experience, I get it.
Okay so right, love is dead. I really have been waiting for the news for a couple months at the very least because I follow Dua very closely on Instagram and I noticed he dropped off so I did the obvious thing and searched to see if he had been liking her photos and nope.
I know for certain most people don’t know that there is a Hadid brother unless you’ve heard “Anwar and Bella have Lyme disease” a million times, or that he was dating Dua Lipa. But it is my solemn duty to ensure you never forget.
Best of luck to this man.
The good news is that they seem to be co-parenting their dog, Dexter:
You know who has been liking Dua’s photos?
Jake Gyllenhaal. Months ago. I started noticing his name popping up on her likes and taking screenshots, because it felt important to me. (I was not kidding when I said I follow Dua Lipa’s Instagram very closely.) He likes practically all of them exCEPT when Anwar showed up, back when Anwar showed up. Anyway, my point is they’re both hot and I think they would be an interesting couple and I’m sure Dua has some DMs to check.
Of course, Jake Gyllenhaal already has a 25-year-old girlfriend. A French model which you may know because there’s been an uptick in interest in his romantic life recently for some weird reason.
I will speak briefly (for me, I mean) on the Swiftiness of it all because everyone was really annoying on the internet for a few days and maybe you miss that and want to be annoyed by my opinions.
Of course I believe Jake Gyllenhaal is a jerk and wears whatever “organic shoes” are.
29 and 21 is an age gap, certainly. The power dynamics were off! But it is less than a decade between two consenting, weird as fuck dramatic adults.
I think the ten minute version and the six minute version are open to interpretation, you know, what you’re supposed to do with art. Kate Elizabeth Russell, author of My Dark Vanessa, did a really great analysis on her Insta stories dissecting how the video and song reflect abusive behavior. She is a genius (she deleted her Twitter account!) and I loved her perspective I am convinced that Taylor read Kate’s book after seeing the video. But I don’t think anything in the text explicitly reads as abuse without the projection that good art demands.
So basically I won’t make aSUMmtions about what actually transpired in their relationship. Am I growing up????
I, personally, hate the video, but mostly because I hate every video Taylor Swift wears a ginger wig.
I know Those Guys! I, too, have briefly dated and been strung along and twisted by Those Guys to the point where the pain outlasted the relationship by far, and I am grateful to have this song to cry/scream to even after I’ve moved on. I’m six months older than Taylor and it’s weird thinking about Jake Gyllenhaal being 29 because everyone is a mess when they’re 29 and no one knows what they want.
John Mulaney is also a Those Guys! Congrats to him on his new guy.
I didn’t think Jake Gyllenhaal was believable as a teenager when he was an actual 19-year-old in Donnie Darko. He’s always been 39 to me.
My main takeaway is that I fucking love songs written about Jake Gyllenhaal, Dua.
There’s this absolutely terrible profile Chuck Klosterman wrote about Jenny Lewis a long time ago that is only good because of the secondary quotes from Ben Gibbard, who is a total gossip.
Here’s what he said about Jenny and Jake and Jenny and any guy, really.
“All those romantic insinuations—about her and Conor, or her and anybody—those are all just guesses. How can anyone really tell if someone is sweet on somebody else? Jenny went to one movie premiere with Jake Gyllenhaal, but I think that was just because their parents know each other. I suppose if some specific rumor keeps coming up over and over and over again, maybe there’s a little truth in it. But if someone gets drunk and messes around with somebody at a bar—well, that happens to everybody. And I’m not saying that’s what happened between her and Conor; I’m just saying it happens to lots of people.”
Ben…Trissues would love to hire you.
