Bebe Rexha confirms split from boyfriend after sharing fat-shaming messages
Bebe Rexha cried as she confirmed she has split from her boyfriend of three years.
The hitmaker told fans her relationship with Keyan Safyari is over, just weeks after she shared fat-shaming texts she’d allegedly received from him.
The 33-year-old star, real name Bleta Rexha, previously confirmed she’d gained weight due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Bebe was performing in London on Friday when she told the crowd as she introduced her song Atmosphere: ‘I just went through a break-up so I might get a little emotional and you need to help me.’
Later during the show, she wept when she saw fans holding up signs that read: ‘You are enough.’
‘You really are trying to make a b**** cry,’ Bebe quipped, according to the Sun.
The chart-topper hinted at trouble in her relationship with the cinematographer earlier this month when she shared screenshots of a message allegedly sent by Keyan which expressed concern about her ‘changing’ face amid her weight gain due to her health issues.
The message read: ‘Hey. I never said you weren’t beautiful and I never said I didn’t love you. In fact I said how beautiful you are and how much I loved you.
‘But I always said I would be honest with you and your face was changing so I told you it was.’
The message continued: ‘That was the conversation we were having and you asked … Because I care, would you rather I lied to you?
‘You gained 35 pounds obviously you gained weight and your face changes? Should I just pretend it didn’t happen and that it’s ok?’
‘Should I just pretend it didn’t happen and that it’s ok? Come on I gain 3 pounds and you called me chubbs and fat. Doesn’t mean you don’t love me,’ the message continued.
‘If you’re trying to find reasons to break up this makes sense… but it’s not the real reason.
‘If you’re unhappy with me/yourself/with life and don’t see a future with us then that’s ok and that’s the reason.
‘Don’t use something like that to weaponize your anger or anxiety or any insecurity you may have. You know I always found you to be beautiful and loved you no matter what.’
The message shared by Bebe concluded with: ‘Let me know if you’d like to speak if you need more clarity. Love you.’
Bebe has spoken about her body image in the past and candidly chatted about her recent polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis back in May.
PCOS is a condition that occurs when the ovaries produce too much of the male sex hormones – causing heavy periods, weight gain, acne and excess hair growth.
She told The Jennifer Hudson Show: ‘I literally jumped 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little bit more. But we gotta just be positive and just show people love.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Keyan and Bebe’s reps for comment.
