Selena Gomez has always been rather vocal about her romantic life, or lack thereof, often referring to and embracing her single status. But now, it seems like Gomez might have found herself a fella, Andrea Iervolino.
Mere weeks after the Rare Beauty founder’s grandmother interrupted her TikTok to ask her how she “ended it” with “that guy”, the 30-year-old has jetted off to Europe to join the myriad of holiday-goers on vacation. While there, she’s been calling for us all to embrace “real stomachs” and basking on boats throughout the Italian sea.
But on August 4, The Daily Mail shared photos showing Gomez on a yacht in Positano (yes, we’re jealous), alongside a group of friends which included Italian-Canadian film producer, Andrea Iervolino.
While his name doesn’t sound very familiar, Gomez and Iervolino have been linked in past, when they both attended the CHOC Children’s Hospital Prom together in 2018. Despite this, neither have confirmed they were ever romantically involved, and a source has even recently claimed that Gomez is single.”Selena isn’t dating anyone specific at this time,” the source told Entertainment Tonight. “She is more open to love, but she is also very much focused on herself and her work right now. She’s in a very healthy place. She is feeling fantastic and very mentally, physically and emotionally healthy.”With this source’s claims out in the world, fans were left even more confused after Iervolino reportedly was rather close to Gomez at her recent birthday party. He danced with her, hugged her and was even photographed giving her a few forehead kisses as they looked out at the water, as per Page Six.Below, everything you need to know about Andrea Iervolino, and his connection to Selena Gomez.
