17 june 2026 в 17:37
For many years, Bebe Rexha tried to keep her personal life in the shadows, but her love for boyfriend Keyan Safyari did not go unnoticed. The couple began dating in early 2020 and were together for several years before breaking up in July 2023. News of the split emerged after Bebe reportedly shared her feelings with fans during a concert in London on July 28, saying, «I just went through a breakup, so I might get a little emotional».
Bebe and Keyan started dating shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began, and in October 2020, she told Entertainment Tonight that he helped her feel less «lonely» during quarantine, noting his support and close relationship with her family. Although their relationship once «felt right», - the couple ultimately decided to part ways.
After the breakup, Bebe continued to speak openly about her personal life. Learn more about Keyan, their relationship, and the reasons for their split below.
Keyan Safyari works as a producer, director, and cinematographer. He founded Moving Images Entertainment Inc. in 2003, according to his LinkedIn profile. The company, located in Beverly Hills, «produces feature films, commercials, and television shows for distribution through entertainment studios and their various partners».
Keyan has over 50 credits on his IMDb page. His cinematography work includes the Emmys, Teen Choice Awards, Grammy Awards, and more. He has also worked on special projects for Billie Eilish and Mariah Carey.
Keyan attended high school in Beverly Hills. He attended ArtCenter College of Design from 2001 to 2003 and then earned a bachelor’s degree in film and television production from California State University, Northridge, in 2006. He also played hockey in college.
Keyan won an Emmy Award in 2022 for his work on the project «Adele: One Night Only». The award was given for outstanding technical direction, cinematography, and video control for a special presentation. Prior to this win, he had been nominated for three other Emmy Awards. In 2022, he was also nominated in the same category for his work on the Grammy Awards. In 2021, he received another nomination in that category for his work on the Grammys, and his last nomination was for «The Little Mermaid Live!» in 2020.
Keyan was born on September 17, 1983, making him 42 years old.
Despite Bebe and Keyan being together for quite a while, she chose not to post photos with him on her main Instagram account. While she did share posts with him in her stories, she decided to keep their relationship off her main profile. «As long as I don’t have a ring on my finger, you won’t see a post in the grid», - she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. «And that’s true!» Keyan is also present on Instagram.
In mid-July 2023, Bebe seemingly hinted at her breakup with Keyan in a deleted Instagram post. The singer shared a screenshot of a text message that mentioned her weight gain and «changing face», - and although she did not confirm the sender’s identity, it appeared that the message was from her then-boyfriend. She confirmed their breakup just a few weeks later.
«Hey, I never said you weren’t beautiful, and I never said I didn’t love you», - the message read. «In fact, I said how beautiful you are and how much I love you. But I always said I would be honest with you, and your face is changing, and I told you about it… that was a conversation we had, and you asked».
«Because I care. Would you prefer that I lied to you?» the message continued. «You gained 35 pounds, obviously, you’ve put on weight, and your face has changed? Should I just pretend that didn’t happen and that everything is fine? Come on, I gain 3 pounds, and you call me chubby and fat. That doesn’t mean you don’t love me. If you’re trying to find reasons for the breakup, that makes sense… but that’s not the real reason».
