So, who is Marc Kalman? Here’s everything you need to know about the man who has Bella’s heart.
Marc is an art director who has famously collaborated with Travis Scott for many years
Marc Kalman has a Kardashian connection as he has previously worked as an art director for Kylie Jenner‘s boyfriend Travis Scott and Bella, who is close to Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner.
Marc is well-known in the music industry for his work with Scott and has a prolific portfolio site showing his multiple projects, which range from doing album art for Scott to creating branding for Milk Studio’s Made Fashion Week.
Marc and artist Corey Damon Black, who work on Travis Scott’s branding together, spoke briefly with 1985 about their work.
“Marc manages my impulses. Marc is the only person I will talk to when I’m working on something. I enter a cave. I don’t care what anyone else thinks.” Corey said of his professional relationship with Marc.
Marc keeps his Instagram private, though he and Bella follow each other.
Expect the lovers to keep their relationship private for the foreseeable future. His Instagram is set to private, just like Ariana Grande‘s husband Dalton Gomez and Olivia Rodrigo’s new boyfriend Adam Faze.
Although they both do follow eachother.
Marc and Bella were first romantically linked in June 2021.
On June 5, The Daily Mail shared a video of Bella having lunch with her “rumored beau,” Marc. This was the first time any media outlet had linked the two romantically. The video came after the unverified Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi posted online claiming Bella had a new boyfriend earlier this year.
DeuxMoi did a confirmation on their relationship after Bella posted an Instagram with Marc, claiming that the beauty has been quietly involved with Marc for some time. Of course, Bella hasn’t confirmed this, so take the gossip for what it’s worth.
DeuxMoi wrote, “She has been with him for a while. He is the same guy I was referring to when I told you guys she had a BF months ago.”
According to Page Six, Bella and Marc have been dating for a year, since July 2020
Since July 2020, Marc has been photographed with Bella, usually behind or beside her. According to a source, “They hid it [their dating] well. If they went out, he would come out first, get the car, and then she would get into the car. They would drive to a location, and he’d drop her off but not get out and go park the car. They were very diligent about not being seen on a public street at the same time.”
Marc has Bella “completely smitten” and their relationship is serious
On July 9, a source close to Bella spoke to E! about their relationship, describing her as “completely smitten” with Marc.“[They] have been trying to keep it super low-key and private,” the source started. But things are changing now that they’re IG official: “Now that they have become more serious, she has been excited to be seen with him. She is truly so happy right now.”
Bella and Marc are well-liked by her family and friends
According to another source, Bella’s mom and sister Yolanda and Gigi, and Gigi’s boyfriend Zayn are among those who have met and been charmed by Marc: “She’s introduced him to her family and they all think he’s a great guy. He’s hung out with Gigi, Zayn and Yolanda on several occasions and they all approve and love him.”
