Selena Gomez & The Weeknd: How Her ‘Hating’ Friends Are Just Bringing Them Closer

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are heating up, but we hear that Selena’s squad isn’t totally on board with their budding relationship. That doesn’t bother them one bit, though — in fact, the haters are simply bringing Sel and her new beau closer together! Here’s how.
Selena Gomez, 24, and The Weeknd, 26, are an item — whether anyone else likes it or not! “Abel is extremely protective of Selena right now,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, “Especially since her friends are hating on her for being with him. He doesn’t think that’s fair. When a relationship is over it’s over, period.”
It does seem like he and Selena got together a little soon after his split from Bella Hadid, 20, but you know what they say…the heart wants what it wants!
Here’s the silver lining: backlash in their social groups has actually succeeded in making their relationship stronger, the source adds. “It’s all good. He and Selena are bonding like crazy and he’s going to make sure she gets all the love she needs from him,” the insider reveals. “He’s been digging Selena for a while.” Okay, how cute is that?
As we previously told you, Selena is head over heels for The Weeknd! “She has a type of guy, and he is it,” an insider shared with us exclusively. She loves that he “treats her like a queen” when they hang out, and thinks he is “a real gentleman”. So sweet.
If you haven’t seen the steamy pics of them making out on their date in Santa Monica, CA, then what the heck are you waiting for?!

Selena Gomez & The Weeknd: Bella Hadid Feels ‘Stabbed In The Back’ Over New Romance

Is this the end of their friendship?! Bella Hadid feels ‘stabbed in the back’ over Selena Gomez’s new romance with The Weeknd, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned. Read on to see if these BFFs will ever be able to work it out and make amends!
Did Selena Gomez, 24, just break the girl code once and for all? “Bella [Hadid] feels like she’s been stabbed in the back,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She just doesn’t understand why Selena is flaunting her relationship with The Weeknd. The least she can do is be private about it. Bella never, ever saw this coming and thinks Selena should have called her first out of courtesy, instead of making out with him in public for the whole world to see. She’s also surprised how easily The Weeknd has moved on. It’s only been two months. This is all very hurtful.”
We’re just as caught off guard as you are, Bella, 20! The world was at an absolute standstill when steamy photos of Selena and the “False Alarm” hitmaker, 26, came to light on Jan. 11. Selena’s arms were wrapped around The Weeknd and they were totally caught red-handed making out. There’s no way Selena can wiggle her way out of this. We’re thrilled to see how happy the “Hands To Myself” beauty is with her new man, but is it worth ruining a friendship with Bella? Hopefully they can forgive each other!
Rumors has it that The Weekend has actually been chasing Selena for MONTHS! Since one of his songs talks about Selena’s butt, we can help but wonder if he’s been lusting after her. The track titled “Party Monster” goes like this — “Ooh, she mine, ooh girl, bump a line, Angelina, lips like Angelina, like Selena, ass shaped like Selena.” How crazy is that?! Maybe Bella SHOULD have seen this coming!

Selena Gomez & The Weeknd: What Should Their Official Couple Name Be? — Vote

There’s no confirmation that Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are officially a couple, but after photos surfaced of them kissing on Jan. 11, they’re the duo everyone can’t stop talking about! So, if they are an item…what should be call them? We’ve come up with a few ideas — but we need your help in picking the best one!
Abelena? Seleekend? Fans began flooding Twitter with ideas for Selena Gomez, 24, and The Weeknd’s couple name almost immediately after photos were released of the pair kissing and PDAing on Jan. 11. The pics, which showed the hot new duo leaving dinner in Santa Monica the night before, had everyone speculating whether or not they were a new item, and the buzz still has not died down!
While most fans are thrilled Selena seems to have found herself a new man, other Twitter users are somewhat disappointed that she broke girl code — after all, Bella Hadid, 20, is sisters with Gigi Hadid, 21, who’s best friends with Taylor Swift, 27, and Sel, and Bella just broke up with The Weeknd at the end of 2016! The supermodel even unfollowed Selena and her ex on Instagram after the photos came out. Eek!
It seems like The Weeknd may have had the 24-year-old on his mine even when he was with Bella, though. His album, Starboy, came out in November, and the song, “Party Monster,” includes a lyric about wanting an “a** shaped like Selena.” Could that be the reason Selena posed for a practically naked Instagram photo with her butt on full display just hours after the PDA pics were released?! The superstars have yet to comment on the status of their relationship, but we definitely have our eyes on them!

The Weeknd Admits ‘Marriage Is Scary’: Should Selena Gomez Be Worried?

Cover your ears, Selena Gomez! In his interview with ‘GQ,’ the singer’s new man, The Weeknd, made a shocking confession: He’s totally afraid of marriage. Should Sel be worried about getting too serious with him!?
The Weeknd, 26, is getting real in his GQ profile! In the interview, he opens up about his plans for starting a family in the future, and the interview coincidentally came out on Jan. 12, just one day after his possible new relationship with Selena Gomez, 24, went public.
“I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married,” he admits to the mag. “The first thing would be kids. Marriage is scary to me, man,” Okay, so so far, all we’ve seen of Sel and The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel, were one batch of PDA-filled pics outside a Santa Monica restaurant, but if a romance is blossoming here, these comments might be a bit alarming to the 24-year-old.
Of course, still don’t know the exact nature of Sel’s relationship with the “Starboy” singer. In fact, the latest buzz is that she may actually just be appearing in his new music video for “Party Monster.” Here’s the evidence: The song features the lyrics “Like Selena, a** shaped like Selena,” the video comes out just two days after the pair’s PDA-filled date night AND a picture of Selena on Instagram from Jan. 11 features her showing off her — just guess….BUTT!
However, at HollywoodLife.com, we’re hearing that things are already heating up. “Selena gets passionate about things real fast and that’s exactly what she’s doing with The Weeknd,” our insider explained. “She finds him charming and is enamored by the person he is and the way he presents himself to her.” OOOO!

Selena Gomez Strips Down & Flaunts Bare Butt In Tiny Gold Thong — Sexy Pic

Well hello, gorgeous! Selena Gomez is baring all in this new Instagram photo, showing off her enviable figure and even revealing her butt cheeks for the camera. What could this be for?!
Selena Gomez, 24, is getting back into the spotlight little by little after her months in treatment, but it’s not a full comeback until there’s a new racy photo of you online, right?! Photographer Mert Alas snapped the sexy shot, which shows Selena gazing at herself in the mirror, with a towel falling off her nearly naked body. Wearing nothing but a teeny, tiny gold thong, Sel’s bare butt is completely on display…and she looks INCREDIBLE!
This new pic comes just hours after photos surfaced of the 24-year-old getting cozy with The Weeknd outside Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. In the shots, the two have their arms wrapped around each other and even share some kisses! Interestingly, The Weeknd has a song called “Party Monster” on his latest album Starboy, and on the track, he raps about wanting an “a** shaped like Selena.” Ummm…kind of coincidental timing for Sel to post a pic of her butt, no?! Maybe she’ll even be in the rapper’s video that comes out on Jan. 12?
It’s unclear exactly when this pic was taken, but from the hair length and fact that there’s no indication it’s a throwback, we’re assuming it was snapped pretty recently!
The Weeknd is the first guy we’ve seen Selena flaunt PDA with in several months, and as HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY reported, she’s already very into him. “She finds him charming and is enamored by the person he is and the way he presents himself to her,” an insider told us. Awww!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of this pic of Selena — super hot or totally inappropriate? What do you think it’s for?
