Dua Lipa’s Ex’s Disturbing Instagram Messages Spark Concerns As Singer Goes Public With New Beau
Social media was sent into a frenzy on Sunday when Anwar Hadid, the 23-year-old model and younger brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid, posted a series of troubling messages on Instagram. The alarming posts came shortly after his ex-girlfriend, pop star Dua Lipa, made her red carpet debut with her new boyfriend, 41-year-old French director Romain Gavras, at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival.
During the event, Dua Lipa and Romain Gavras indulged in public displays of affection, captivating the attention of onlookers. Meanwhile, Anwar Hadid, though he did not explicitly mention anyone in his posts, shared a gloomy selfie accompanied by a disturbing message: “Trying not to find and kill him.”
Anwar continued to express his turmoil through subsequent posts on his Instagram Story. Alongside another selfie where he smirked into a mirror, he captioned it with the poignant words, “I can’t breathe.” Concerned fans immediately took to Twitter, expressing their worry about the cryptic messages.
The model further baffled followers by leaving a random crying face emoji under his own post promoting his music, leaving fans questioning the motives behind his enigmatic behavior. Anwar also shared two images solely depicting the ground, accompanied by captions that read, “I hate the way you say my name” and a single-word message, “Hi.”
As Anwar’s perplexing messages flooded his social media, fans were left speculating about his intended target. One group of followers expressed their concern, suggesting that he seemed “obsessed” and questioning his intentions towards the New Rules singer. The couple’s two-year relationship reportedly came to an end in 2021 due to the strain caused by their extensive travels, according to The Sun.
Reports from March indicated that Dua and Romain had been quietly getting to know each other for months. The couple’s seaside bungalow outing further solidified their connection. Sources revealed that Dua and Romain had been introduced to each other’s inner circles during the holiday season and shared many common interests.
It appears that the Levitating star was drawn to Romain’s understanding of her industry, as an insider disclosed, “Dua knows how important it is to find someone who understands her industry. She feels Romain totally gets it. They’re both really creative people.”
Before her relationship with Romain, Dua Lipa was in a romantic partnership with Anwar, which began after she reached out to him through direct messages. The former couple sparked romance rumors in June 2019, when they were seen engaging in PDA at a music festival in London. They subsequently attended New York Fashion Week together and made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2019 American Music Awards.
As fans attempt to make sense of Anwar Hadid’s troubling Instagram posts, the focus remains on Dua and Romain, who appear to be basking in the early stages of their blossoming relationship.
