Jimmy Butler
Gomez has been spotted getting cozy with Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler in NYC recently, according to gossip website Deuxmoi. According to E! News, the new potential couple has gone out "a few times", but nothing is confirmed because she's reportedly "keeping her options open".
The couple was spotted grabbing dinner in November last year, according to Miami Herald. "They hung out a few times while Gomez was in New York City. Jimmy asked her to go to dinner and they had a great time," a source told E! News. "It's very casual and she's open to seeing where things go, but isn't settling down just yet." They added that the 28-year-old singer "is currently single but has recently been more open to dating".
Justin Bieber
Bieber was her most recent public relationship, which lasted from October 2017 to February 2018. Gomez hasn't made any public comments or posts about her love life since then, though her friends have. Gomez wasn't looking to date as of February 2019, according to a source who told Us Weekly that she decided to concentrate on herself.
Gomez and Bieber had a five-year on-again, off-again relationship that seemed to have ended definitively in 2015, reported PopSugar. When Gomez began dating The Weeknd in 2017, things were rocky, but she and Bieber reconciled by the end of the year, only to break up again in March 2018. Bieber rekindled his friendship with his now-wife, Hailey Baldwin, three months after their formal breakup.
The Weeknd
Gomez's other well-known relationship was with The Weeknd. The 'Blinding Lights' singer and Gomez were spotted kissing in Los Angeles in January 2017. Three months later, the couple made their relationship official by sharing pictures of themselves on Instagram. They made their Met Gala red carpet debut and even got a puppy together.
It lasted 10 months before coming to an end in October 2017. A source told The Cheat Sheet that it was because the two couldn't find time to spend together because of their conflicting schedules. However, some suggested that it was because of Bieber, thanks to his 2018 hit 'Call Out My Name', according to PopSugar. On Gomez's birthday in July 2020, The Weeknd released the music video for his song 'Snowchild', and the songstress praised the track on her Instagram account.
Charlie Puth
Gomez and Charlie Puth were rumored to be dating in October 2016. They collaborated on the hit duet 'We Don't Talk Anymore'. Puth sort of confirmed the fling in a 2018 interview with Billboard, though they never admitted it at the time.
"I don't kiss and tell, but the only way a song like ('We Don't Talk Anymore') can come across as real is if there's something else going on behind the scenes. And that's what was happening (with Gomez). Very short-lived, very small, but very impactful. And it really messed me up. I'm trying to put this the best way possible: It wasn't like I was the only person on her mind. And I think I knew that going in — what I was getting myself into," he said in the interview.
Samuel Krost
Fashion brand owner Samuel Krost posted pictures of his Costa Rican holiday with Gomez on Instagram when they were together, and they were also photographed while dining in NYC, according to People. After their breakup, Krost took to Instagram in August 2016 to say that they actually dated, according to Elle.
Niall Horan
At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Niall Horan and his One Direction bandmates presented Gomez with the award for the best pop video. Niall and Selena are said to have begun dating shortly after that.
The couple was reportedly seen "hugging and kissing" at Jenna Dewan's 35th birthday party in December 2015, according to PopSugar, and they stepped out together in London the following month. They were linked again in late 2019, but Horan said he was "very much single" in December that year, according to Us Weekly.
Zedd
Despite Diplo's allegations that it was just a publicity stunt, Gomez and Russian-born German DJ Zedd had a brief relationship in early 2015, according to People. "I adore Anton (Zedd) a lot, and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice," Gomez told New England radio show 'The Edge Afternoons' about their romance in July 2015.
Orlando Bloom
Gomez and the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor were first photographed together in 2014, and although nothing was confirmed at the time, the two were said to have gotten super cozy at Gomez's Revival tour launch party in Las Vegas in 2016, according to TMZ. However, Gomez "absolutely went back to her room alone".
Bloom's then-girlfriend and now-fiancée, Katy Perry — with whom he shares a newborn daughter named Daisy — tweeted after reports of their meeting in Las Vegas surfaced on the internet: "Instead of giving energy & eyeballs to dumb conspiracy check out how C👁👁L this is." She added a video of Bloom's charitable work in Ukraine.
Taylor Lautner
In 2009, Gomez and Lautner met in Vancouver when she was filming 'Ramona and Beezus' and he was filming 'Twilight: New Moon'. Their young love, unfortunately, did not last long. Gomez announced their breakup in the September 2009 issue of Seventeen, citing their lifestyles as the reason.
"We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him, and I had paparazzi following me," Gomez said, according to US Magazine. "People were getting a little crazy about us." Although things didn't work out between them, Gomez noted: "He is so sweet. Taylor has made me so happy. I didn't know I could be that happy."
We hope Gomez finds happiness in love soon.
