The rumours surrounding a potential romance began to blossom a few weeks ago after Selena split from her then-boyfriend, The Weeknd. However, the rumour mill went into overdrive when Jelena began being papped together grabbing milkshakes, going for lunch and attending church together. In an open and frank interview with Billboard, Gomez spoke about her reasoning for giving the "Sorry" singer another chance.

"I’m 25. I’m not 18, or 19, or 20. I cherish people who have really impacted my life. So maybe before, it could have been forcing something that wasn’t right.
"But that doesn’t mean caring for someone ever goes away. And [that goes for] people in general.
"I mean, I grew up with Demi [Lovato]. Nick and Joe [Jonas] and Miley [Cyrus] – we’ve gone through seasons in our lives. I don’t think it’s as serious as people make things out to be half the time. It’s just my life."

She continued:
"I grew up with all of these people, and it’s so cool to see where everybody is. It comes back to the idea of me remaining full. I think a true representation of love is beyond just yourself.
"It’s me going to get a coffee earlier this morning and talking with a woman who was celebrating her birthday and going to Disneyland for the first time. I told her about my favourite things there, and she got excited, and then I got excited because she was excited.
"The littlest things are impactful."

Selena also spoke about her relationship with The Weeknd, saying that the two of them ended the relationship as "best friends" and that their relationship was about "encouraging and caring" for one another. She was then grilled on what she was most proud of in her life, with the singer saying:
"I’m really proud of where I am right now. I handle things in a healthy way. I can enjoy where I’m at. I love being able to say ‘no’. I like being a part of the world.
"People are so terrified of other people. I see it in my generation a lot. There's so much anxiety and angst, and the pressure just keeps getting worse.
"I’m proudest of not becoming jaded. I have every reason to be like, ‘f*ck all of you’. And I don’t.
"I’m going to have the bad days where I don’t want to leave my bedroom – but I’m ready for them."

It's been a bit of a hectic year for Selena - and not just in terms of her love life. Back in September, she had to undergo an urgent kidney transplant after struggling with Lupus. Her best friend donated of her kidneys in order to save the singer, who now thanks her for saving her life.
It's good to see that the Selena is back on the mend and whether you like her and Bieber or not, good luck to them both.
