Selena Gomez's Dating History: Her Relationships Over the Years

An A-list history! Selena Gomez has been involved in some very high-profile romances ever since she was catapulted into the spotlight as a Disney star; however, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum once admitted that she envisioned herself being settled down before her milestone 30th birthday, which falls on July 22, 1992.

“I thought I would be married by now, so I threw myself a wedding,” the “My Mind & Me” singer told Rolling Stone in November 2022 about her 30th birthday bash. “We had lovely drinks, and it was beautiful, and then my friend Cara [Delevingne] comes in and brings strippers. So I would like to say it was a mixture of sophisticated and hysterical.”

Her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber lasted from 2011 through 2018, going long periods apart before rekindling their romance again. The pair just couldn’t quit each other, which was made all the more difficult as they were each other’s first loves. But along the way, she had other beaus to whom she gave her heart.

“I’m the kind of girl that loves tremendously big. I just have always been that girl,” she told Miami’s Power 96.5 FM in May 2017 amid her 10-month romance with The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye). Selena added, “I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate. It’s just how I operate. With that comes a lot, you know?”

The pair would later break up in October of that year. Selena then rebounded with one last grand romance with Justin, which ended in March 2018. He went on to marry model Hailey Baldwin six months later, while Selena remained single.

The “Lose You To Love Me” singer discussed how she’d gone on a long boyfriend detox on the October 25, 2019, The Zach Sang Show. “I’ve been super, super single for two years,” Selena shared, adding, “I’ve been having way too much fun being on my own. It sucked for the first year, I was like, ‘I just want to cuddle. I just want to watch something and be adored.’ But now it feels good, it feels awesome.”

However, Selena referred to herself as a “hopeless romantic,” and was looking forward to what her future love life held. “I never want to lose the sense of love that I imagine it to be. I don’t want to be jaded or bitter from anything. I believe that it exists. I’m happy waiting for that for however long it takes because we’re going to be doing this forever,” she revealed.

The Only Murders in the Building star has shared her turn-ons and turn-offs when it comes to men. “I love funny. I don’t like arrogant,” Selena told U.K.’s Capital FM during a December 2019 interview, adding, “I don’t like, you know, show-offy. I love playful, adventurous, but really down-to-earth and cool.”

However, Selena is still able to keep a good sense of humor when it comes to her dating life. During her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in May 2022, she shared why she had been looking forward to her appearance on the late-night sketch comedy series.

“One reason I’m really excited to host SNL is because I’m single,” the “Same Old Love” singer joked. “I’ve heard that SNL is a great place to find romance [since] Emma Stone met her husband here, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, and Pete [Davidson] and … Machine Gun Kelly.”

Selena continued, “Since I don’t really want to try the dating apps, I just want to put it out in the universe that I’m manifesting love. And I would like to say that I’m looking for my soulmate, but, at this point, I will take anyone.”

In January 2023, Us Weekly exclusively revealed that the actress – who was nominated for a 2023 Golden Globe for Best Television Actress in a Musical/Comedy Series – is dating Chainsmokers DJ Alex Taggart.

“They aren’t trying to hide their romance by sneaking around at members only clubs,” an insider told the outlet, noting that the pair are “very casual and low-key” and enjoy going “bowling and to the movies” for their date nights.

Selena and Andrea Iervolino

In August 2022, Selena sparked romance rumors after she was spotted vacationing in Italy with Italian film producer Andrea Iervolino.

Though the Rare Beauty founder has yet to comment on her apparent new relationship, the pair were seen enjoying a day aboard a yacht in Positano, Italy, on August 3.

Selena and Andrea were previously linked in 2019, as they celebrated the former Disney Channel star’s 27th birthday along with her closest friends.

Selena and Nat Wolff

The pair were photographed leaving L.A.’s Sunset Towel Hotel on the 4th of July in 2022, as Selena smiled walking ahead of Nat on the way to her car. The two have known each other for years, costarring in the 2014 film Behaving Badly. It’s unclear if Selena and Nat were simply old friends meeting up for dinner, or if their reunion meant something more.

Selena had joked about her single status while hosting Saturday Night Live two months prior, saying in her opening monologue, “Since I don’t really want to try the dating apps, I just want to put it out in the universe that I’m manifesting love. I would like to say that I’m looking for my soulmate, but at this point, I will take anyone.”

Selena and Justin Bieber Part 2

The former lovebirds rekindled their romance in a big way starting in late October 2017. Selena was photographed cheering on Justin at his hockey games, while the pair attended church services together. The couple split in March 2018, and by May, Justin was photographed with former flame Hailey Baldwin. He would pop the question to her in July, and the two married on September 13, 2018, in a civil ceremony in New York.

In Selena’s 2020 song “Lose You To Love Me,” it’s widely believed that the lyrics, “In two months, you replaced us.
Like it was easy,” are about her final breakup with Justin.

Selena and The Weeknd

The two singers started a playful romance in January 2017, two months after The Weeknd — real name Abel Tesfaye — broke up with model Bella Hadid. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2017 Met Gala, and things seemed to be going strong between the pair … until late October of that year when Justin re-entered Selena’s life. Within a few days of his SUV being spotted at the “Wolves” singer’s home, it was revealed that Selena and The Weeknd had broken up.

Selena and Zedd

Selena provided vocals for the DJ/music producer’s 2015 hit “I Want You to Know.” She later shared that a sweet romance blossomed from their collaboration. “I adore Zedd a lot, and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice,” Selena revealed to the New Zealand radio show The Edge Afternoons on June 30, 2015.

Selena and Taylor Lautner

Selena had a brief romance with the Twilight hunk in 2009. She explained to Seventeen magazine that year that his costar “Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel. He would visit her, so we were constantly running into each other in the lobby — and we ended up meeting. 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.”
