Bebe Rexha shared messages from her boyfriend Keyan Safyari on her Instagram story.

Here is what he wrote:

“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 it was…that was the conversation we were having and you asked,” Keyan wrote.

“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? Come on I gain 3 pounds and you called me chubbs and fat. Doesn’t mean you don’t love me,” he explained.

Speaking of a break-up, he said, “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.”

While praising Bebe Rexha’s beauty and emphasising that he loves her, Keyan Safyari requested her to consider therapy.

“You know I always found you to be beautiful and loved you no matter what. I think it’s important for you to think about things and write things down, speak to a therapist and do this retreat thing to get to the root of the problem. Let me know if you’d like to speak if you need more clarity. Love you,” he concluded.

These messages follow Bebe Rexha’s candid talk about her PCOS diagnosis in May 2023 in an interview on 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,” she said. Bebe said that the weight gain was part of her life and that people hardly ever know what others are going through in life. She was of the opinion that it was not right to talk about people’s weight standing in today’s times.

Bebe Rexha also slammed some TikTok users who had trolled her on her weight gain. And now, Keyan Safyari has talked about the touchy issue with her. It is not clear whether Bebe Rexha has broken up with Keyan Safyari or not as no official statement has been issued by either of the two.
