In Women's Wear Daily this week, Hadid said that Bieber and her are just friends. They actually met through Hadid's on again-off again boyfriend Cody Simpson. "Justin's a good friend of mine, he's awesome," Hadid said. "I met [Bieber] a couple of times but we're friends and everything with my ex-boyfriend is cool, and him and Justin are really close. So it's all good. You run into all your friends at Cannes and you end up at the same parties."

Another person that Hadid became close to because of Simpson was Kylie Jenner. The 19-year-old revealed that Jenner actually dated the Austrailian pop star before she did. "It's funny because Kylie dated my ex-boyfriend. Before that, in L.A. we grew up knowing about each other but never met. Kendall and Kylie and I became friends the week before this year's Met gala," she said. "I went to Rihanna's party and stuff afterwards but didn't go [to the gala]."

Although Simpson and Hadid aren't currently together, she still loves him and gets mad when people try to tear apart their relationship online. She even posted a photo of the two on July 15 on Instagram.

"I love Cody to death and he loves me. And he needed his time to focus on his music and he's the one who broke up with me. We're still best friends and I'll always respect him and support his career."

Hadid said it's "hurtful" when people try to make assumptions about her and her relationship. "Love is something that's really serious and private that you can't try to claim or know."
