The Weeknd (a.k.a. Abel Tesfaye) may make a good Instagram husband for Selena Gomez, but that’s just a small reason why he’s a good partner for her. One big one, however? His support for Selena Gomez during her struggles with her health.

The “Fetish” singer recently revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she underwent a kidney transplant this summer. While her friend Francia Raisa was the one who selflessly donated the kidney, it seems her boyfriend of almost a year was also an incredibly supportive figure throughout the emotional and physically painful time. According to People, the R&B singer even scheduled his performances around Selena’s surgery and recovery.

Though Selena has not revealed the exact date of her surgery, we do know that The Weeknd had some breaks in his tour schedule this summer; per People, he was initially announced as a performer for the 2017 MTV VMAs on August 27, but he did not appear, making fans speculate it was so he could spend more time with Gomez. (The two have been spotted on several dates around New York City over the summer—even reportedly moving in together and getting a puppy—so the speculation is fitting.)

Furthermore, TMZ is reporting that Selena went in to kidney failure in May as a result of complications from lupus, a disease that causes the body’s immune system to attack its own organs and tissues. Selena was reportedly suffering while visiting The Weeknd on tour in Chicago and Abel was “right by her side.” (TMZ adds that at that point Selena was already on a kidney transplant list.)

The Weeknd has yet to say anything publicly about his girlfriend’s health, but he has been showing his love and support in more subtle ways as of late. Glad to see Selena has a strong support system to help her recover.
