However, this is a big change for Mandy, who was initially hesitant to embrace the Candian singer.

“Mandy has heard the dirty and drug-related lyrics to Abel’s songs and she doesn’t approve of Selena hanging out and partying with him,” a source told Life & Style exclusively. “Mandy has met Abel and thinks he is respectful in person, but she doesn’t think he’s a good influence on Selena.”

“I had to stop because I had everything and I was absolutely broken inside,” she said on stage. “I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down.”

However, it seems The Weeknd was just what the doctor ordered.

“It’s serious, very serious,” an insider told Hollywood Life. “The Weeknd has already told Selena that he loves her and vice versa. He speaks a couple of languages and has made sure to confess his love in English, French, Spanish, and Amharic.”
