For many years, Bebe Rexha tried to keep her personal life in the shadows, but her feelings 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 world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In October 2020, she told Entertainment Tonight that he helped her feel less «lonely» during the quarantine, noting his support and close relationship with her family. Although their relationship once «felt right», - they ultimately decided to part ways.
After the breakup, Bebe continued to speak openly about her personal life. Recently, she attracted attention by playfully asking fans to help her find a «baby daddy» on X, signaling a new phase in her life.

In 2022, Keyan won an Emmy for his work on Adele: One Night Only. The award was given for outstanding technical direction, cinematography, and video control for the special presentation.

Keyan was born on September 17, 1983, making him 42 years old in 2025.
Despite Bebe and Keyan being together for quite a while, she chose not to post photos with him on her main Instagram.

In mid-July 2023, Bebe seemingly criticized 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 to be a message 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 loved 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 rather I lie to you?» the message continued. «You've 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 fat and chubby. That doesn’t mean you don’t love me. If you’re trying to find reasons…»
