Selena Gomez is one of the most loved celebrities of her generation, so it’s only natural that fans feel somewhat emotionally invested in her love life—including any potential boyfriends she has on the horizon.Almost five years have past since she finally called it quits with Justin Bieber, yet still, her fans continue to unpack and theorise over the ins and outs of their on-again off-again relationship. Then there was her romance with The Weeknd which also caused a certified global frenzy, particularly when things came to an end in 2017 and Gomez rekindled things with Bieber.But after all the ups and downs she’s endured in love, Gomez’s fans really just want her to be happy—whether she’s single or partnered up.Below, we take a look back at Gomez’s relationship history—and the potential new flame she’s rumoured to have on the scene.
BRAD PELTZ AND HIS SISTER NICOLA PELTZ-BECKHAM.
In January 2023, Gomez’s growing friendship with Nicola and Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham was front and centre after she shared their joint New Year’s celebrations together.And now, rumours are swirling about another person who could be the real reason the trio have grown close: Nicola’s 33-year-old brother Brad Peltz, who may or may not be dating Gomez.Of course, the rumours are very much just that at the moment with no evidence to suggest there’s anything more than a polite friendship between them. Gossip Instagram account Deux Moi also elaborated on the chatter, claiming that they had heard the pair are “not together”, however, they received the tip from “someone who knew Bradley and said he wouldn’t be her type, so it’s just conjecture but that person presented a pretty convincing argument”.Guess we’ll have to wait and see on this one.JUSTIN BIEBER
BIEBER AND GOMEZ HAD A SEVEN YEAR ON-AGAIN OFF-AGAIN RELATIONSHIP
.In perhaps her most prolific romance to date, Gomez and Bieber shared an on-again off-again relationship for seven years before ultimately calling it quits in March 2018.The former couple first went official in early 2011 before splitting almost two years later in November 2012. They rekindled their romance a few times over the following years while dating other people in between, and it was publicly revealed they were back together in November 2017 before they split for the last time the following year.As we all know, Bieber married Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber) in September 2018. Naturally tabloids went to town with sources claiming there had been a crossover between Gomez and Hailey at the time, but the rumours have remained unfounded and as of 2023, Gomez and Hailey appear to be on amicable terms (see the friendly evidence here).THE WEEKND
GOMEZ AND THE WEEKND LASTED LESS THAN A YEAR.
Gomez and The Weeknd began dating in January 2017, with the pair attending several red carpet events together and flaunting some serious It Couple energy. But it ultimately wasn’t meant to be—their split was confirmed in October of that year.SAMUEL KROST
.In 2016, Gomez had a brief fling with Samuel Krost, who is a friend of Gigi Hadid and was a booker for the ill-fated Fyre festival (he even appeared in the infamous documentary).While Gomez never commented on their relationship, the pair were pictured holding hands 2015, and the following year, Krost appeared to confirm they had a short-lived romance with a cryptic Instagram update.”Selena is a real girl with a real heart and real feelings. All you superficial who are just unhappy with your love lives, understand that love is real,” he wrote, adding, “Although we have ventured on separate paths, at least I know that love exists. I love you, Sel.”NIALL 
Gomez and One Direction star Niall Horan were first linked in 2015 when they were spotted hanging out together on multiple occasions. While neither ever confirmed the romance, fans were convinced after a source claimed they saw them kissing at a birthday party.”Selena seemed super into it. And Niall even more so,” they told E! News at the time. Make of that what you will.ZEDD
ZEDD AND GOMEZ HAD A SHORT FLING.
Gomez confirmed she dated musician Zedd back in 2015, and although their relationship was short lived, it seems they ended things on good terms.”I adore Zedd a lot and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice,” Gomez has previously said.TAYLOR LAUTNER
LAUTNER AND GOMEZ CAUSED A MEDIA FRENZY WHEN THEY BEGAN HANGING OUT.
At the peak of his Twilight fame in 2009, Taylor Lautner and Gomez reportedly had a brief romance. While neither party have confirmed there was anything more than friendship between them, the singer later described that time as a bit of a mess while they navigated the extreme pressures from paparazzi.”Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel,” Gomez told Seventeen. “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.”NICK 
Gomez and Nick Jonas were the Disney golden couple back in 2008—she appeared in his band’s music video Burnin’ Up where she played Nick’s love interest, and the pair were often spotted together on dates. As you can imagine, fans were in meltdown.
Gomez has since described the relationship as “very sweet”.
