Back when they were young Disney stars, Selena and Nick Jonas had a cute little romance that started in 2008 after he broke up with Miley Cyrus. Selena even played Nick’s love interest in the Jonas Brothers’ 2008 music video, “Burnin’ Up.” Sadly, the romance didn’t last very long. And in 2015, Selena remembered the innocent fling as “puppy love, you know, it was very sweet.”

Taylor Lautner

Another one of Selena’s earliest studs was none other than Twilight star Taylor Lautner! They met in 2009 while filming movies in Vancouver (Selena was shooting Ramona and Beezus and Taylor was shooting Twilight: New Moon).

Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel. [Taylor] would visit her, so we were constantly running into each other in the lobby—and we ended up meeting,” Selena explained in a 2009 interview with Seventeen. “We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him and I had paparazzi following me. So we literally just wanted to hang out, go bowling and stuff, and it went a little too far, I think. People were getting a little crazy about us.” However, Selena confirmed she was single by the time of her Seventeen interview. Her best friend, Taylor Swift, went on to date Taylor for several months later that year.

The “Naturally” songstress also had a brief fling with internationally known DJ Zedd, whom she dated at the beginning of 2015 after meeting at a recording studio. The two worked together on the song  “I Want You To Know,” which was released in Feb. 2015. Ahead of the song’s release, they teased the collaboration with flirty social media posts.

“He’s this cute little German, and he’s got really beautiful eyes and he’s very sweet and funny,” Selena gushed at the time. She also called Zedd “talented” in an interview. By April, the two had called it quits but remained on good terms. “I adore [him] a lot and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice,” Selena admitted in July 2015.

Selena also sparked romance speculation with One Direction singer Niall Horan in 2015 (and then again in 2019), and with Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom in 2014 and 2016! However, Selena denied the romance speculation for the last two (Niall also denied the years-long rumors in 2020).

Charlie Puth

Selena and Charlie Puth collaborated on the track “We Don’t Talk Anymore” in 2016, but there was some talking between the two going on behind the scenes. “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,” Charlie said in an interview with Billboard. “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.”

Later on, however, a source close to Selena shared with PEOPLE that the two “never dated.”

Justin Bieber

Selena’s two most famous relationships were withJustin BieberandThe Weeknd . If there is one celebrity couple that defines what on-again, off-again means it is Selena and Justin. They sparked dating rumors in 2010 after hanging out at IHOP together, and the relationship became official in 2011 with a red carpet appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party (followed by many more dates at high-profile events).

The two were on and off until 2018. In between their “on” moments, they both dated other people. Of course, for Justin, one of those women wasHailey Bieber , who he eventually married. Justin and Selena were linked in the fall of 2017 and beginning of 2018 but split for good that March.CLICK HERE for a full timeline of their love.

Selena and The Weeknd dated for ten months in 2017. The two first met at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show when they both performed on stage together in 2015.

The exes made their relationship very public by attending the Met Gala together in May of that year. They also went to Coachella together that spring. “It’s really hard when I would want to spend so much time hiding things,” Selena admitted during an interview with On Air With Ryan Seacrest in July of that year. “It’s too much pressure… If that’s me just being myself then I don’t really care.”

The two eventually called it quits in October of that year but ended on good terms according to Selena who mentioned how proud she was of their friendship post-breakup during an interview with Billboard.

In March of 2018 The Weeknd released his My Dear Melancholy EP which contained many references to Selena including hints about offering his kidney for her transplant during summer of previous year.
