It’s only been a week since we first learned that Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are dating, but it seems like the new couple is already getting serious.
Sources say the young singers have been spending as much time together as they can, and Selena is reportedly head over heels for her new dude.
In fact, she’s reportedly already experiencing stronger feelings for The Weeknd than she ever did for any of her previous boyfriends, including her most famous ex …
We’re talking, of course, about DJ Zedd.
We kid.
Despite her many career successes, Selena is likely as well-known for her relationship with Justin Bieber as she is for her music.
But while pop music fans and gossip hounds have a hard time leaving Jelena in the past, Ms. Gomez appears to have no trouble moving on.
A source with the annoying habit of toggling back and forth between The Weeknd’s stage moniker and his real name, Abel Tesfaye, recently told Hollywood Life that Selena is so head-over-heels that she’s basically all “Justin who?” these days:
“Selena is feeling things she never felt before with The Weeknd,” says the insider.
“The relationship with Abel is fresh and new for Selena, but she can tell things are completely different from any of her previous relationships.”
Last year, Selena checked into rehab in order to receive treatment for a number of emotional issues.
The source says her relationship with The Weeknd/Abel has been instrumental in helping Selena turn the corner with regard to her mental health.
“For the first time in a long time, Selena has her confidence back and she credits that to having Abel in her life,” the insider says.
“She is healthier than she has been in a long time and having an honest relationship has a lot to do with her feeling so strong.
“Abel makes Selena feel secure and she sees this as her first mature relationship as an adult.”
For his part, Justin is hooking up with Kourtney Kardashian again, which makes this whole situation even weirder.
24-year-old Selena thinks he’s too immature for an adult relationship, but 37-year-old mother of three Kourtney apparently just can’t keep away from the dude.
This may be proof that even “the smart Kardashian” can’t match Selena in terms of emotional intelligence.
