The Weeknd and Jenna Ortega Steal the Show at ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ Premiere
Oh great, another celebrity duo making us all feel underdressed—just what I needed today. Last night’s ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ premiere party in NYC turned into a date night showcase for The Weeknd and Jenna Ortega, and yes, people actually lost their minds over it. The pair arrived separately on May 14 at the American Museum of Natural History gala, reportedly reconnecting near the red carpet, according to TMZ eyewitnesses and corroborated by People Magazine. She dazzled in a midnight-blue sequin mini-dress from Saint Laurent, while he opted for a classic black leather jacket layered over a crisp white tee—because of course he did.
Their chemistry was practically radiating through the crowd. Page Six sources claim they spent half an hour chatting in a velvet-roped section before slipping into the after-party at a nearby SoHo loft. Witnesses say they laughed freely, downed shrimp cocktails, and even whispered to each other as if they’d forgotten everyone else existed. I told you so—romance blooms best under flashing paparazzi bulbs.
Rumors that this was just a friendly hangout were swiftly squashed when they stepped onto the outdoor terrace together around midnight. They shared a conspiratorial grin that could melt glaciers, per People. A brief arm-around-shoulder gesture and a mutual cheek-to-cheek selfie sealed the deal. Security escorted them through a private entrance by 12:30 a.m., effectively ending the party but kicking off social media speculation.
Let’s not pretend no one noticed the way Ortega kept her hand on Abel’s back as they walked through the courtyard. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) exploded with comments like “update my relationship status” and “OTP for life.” Meanwhile, gossip hounds at TMZ remind us that backstage passes usually come with backstage privileges—wink, wink. Reports suggest they might be making things official at next month’s Met Gala; because if you’re going to date, you might as well do it at the biggest night in fashion.
For those wondering if this is the start of a new golden couple era or just another Hollywood fling, consider this: both their careers are soaring. He’s on tour this summer, dropping new tracks, and she has two major films in post-production. Perfect timing for a headline-grabbing romance, right? Frankly, I’m surprised if they can even find time to grab coffee between red carpets. But hey, love conquers all—even packed schedules and jet lag.
So there you have it: star power, sparkly outfits, a sprinkle of PDA, and an exit worthy of its own viral reel. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
