Remember Samuel Krost?
We didn’t think you would.
But here’s the important thing:
Samuel Krost absolutely remembers Selena Gomez.
Back in November, Krost – a seemingly random New York University graduate who somehow knows Gigi Hadid pretty well – was spotted out for the first time with Gomez.
Gomez and Krost grabbed dinner with some friends following the singer’s appearance at Glamour’s 25th annual Women of the Year Awards.
They were even seen holding hands during their evening out.
And then Gomez and Krost were seen holding hands AGAIN a couple months later outside the SLS Hotel.
These sightings and this apparent relationship led many people to wonder: Who the heck is Samuel Krost?
We tried to answer that question at the time with the following photo gallery:
The romance must have fizzled out pretty quickly because no one has heard about Krost in months… until this week.
For whatever reason, Krost jumped on Instagram yesterday and wrote a very sweet note to Selena.
Actually, the note was to Selena’s critics, and it seemed to confirm that he and the artist once had something special.
In the since-deleted message, Krost wrote:
“To all the haters: Selena is a real girl with a real heart and real feelings. All you superficial [sic] who are just unhappy with your love lives, understand that love is real.
“Although we have ventured on separate paths, at least I know that love exists. I love you, Sel.”
Wow. Dude just dropped the L Bomb multiple times.
We had no idea he and Gomez were ever that serious.
Krost also seemed to tag Gomez in the comments of the post and also @’d her, seemingly in an attempt to make sure she saw the posting.
It’s unclear why he would then take it down.
But one astute social media user screen-captured the tagging, asking a simple question at the bottom of her post:
what the f-ck he was trying to do lmao?
Who knows?
But it was pretty nice of him, wasn’t it?
Gomez hasn’t exactly been under much fire of late, so we don’t know why Krost might have thought she needed his kind words.
Whatever, though. Who doesn’t like hearing kinds words about them?!?
Samuel Krost is the one male sitting here with Selena and her friends. He shared this photo on Instagram in February of 2016.
In a new interview with Australia Vogue, Gomez admits that she’s difficult to be with because she’s so famous.
She openly asks who would who date her… and now we appear to have an answer!
Samuel Krost would date you, Selena! He already has! He seems to want to do so again!
We like him. Go him another shot.
