Keeping your personal life private while living in the spotlight is an art, especially for someone like Bella Hadid, whose career has catapulted her into an unfathomable level of stardom. The US Palestinian and Dutch supermodel, entrepreneur, and activist exists at the forefront of fashion and celebrity. However, she has kept her romantic relationships under the radar since her very public breakup with pop music artist The Weeknd in 2019. Aside from paparazzi pictures, we seldom got a kernel of information about her most recent boyfriend, Marc Kalman, who was often pictured side-by-side with the supermodel. Whilst news of the couple parting ways recently emerged, we’re still wondering who he is. We share everything we know about Marc Kalman ahead.

Kalman was first seen with Hadid in 2020…
Dating rumours between Hadid and Kalman sparked in July of 2020 when the couple was photographed hanging out in New York. Although the two work in the same industry and have likely crossed paths before, it’s reported that they met through friends-of-friends. By July 2021, Hadid all but confirmed their relationship on Instagram, when she posted a now-deleted photo of her and Kalman enjoying the South of France during the Cannes Film Festival.
…and they were dominating celebrity couple street style ever since
After Hadid and Kalman’s relationship went public, they quickly became one of fashion’s favourite it-couples and amassed recognition across the internet for their off-kilter street style. Photographs of Hadid and Kalman walking side-by-side in New York sent TikTok into a fashion frenzy this autumn, ultimately leading to the sold-out status of platform Uggs.
The two kept their relationship private
Despite the occasional post, Hadid remains steadfast in her commitment to keeping her personal life private. Kalman, whose personal Instagram is private, seemed to be on board with this decision and has not spoken out about their relationship. Although, you can follow his business Instagram account, @stillkellystillkelly.
they reportedly called it quits in early 2023
Another day, another unfortunate celebrity breakup. According to Entertainment Tonight, Bella Hadid and Marc Kalman ended their relationship earlier in the year. A source told the outlet, “They were very in love, but the relationship ultimately ran its course, and they decided to end things.” Neither Hadid nor Kalman has made any announcements regarding their split yet.
