Selena Gomez grabbed her fair share of the headlines in the last month or so. She first ended her 10-month relationship with The Weeknd, and then to cause even more buzz, got back with her on-and-off boyfriend/friend Justin Bieber. Although Selena didn’t bother to explain these events to the media before, she did open up about the aftermath of her breakup with The Weeknd and current relationship with Bieber in a recent interview for Billboard.
“Something that I’m really proud of is that there’s such a true friendship [between me and The Weeknd].” said Selena. “I truly have never experienced anything like that in my life. We ended it as best friends, and it was genuinely about encouraging and caring [for each other], and that was pretty remarkable for me.”
When asked why she brought Justin Bieber in her life again, Selena was less specific. “I’m 25. I’m not 18, or 19, or 20. I cherish people who have really impacted my life.” Selena started her answer. “So maybe before, it could have been forcing something that wasn’t right. But that doesn’t mean caring for someone ever goes away.”
Besides her relationships, the fans are also interested in hearing whether Selena is working on some new music. This was her response when asked about it:
“I am. I mean this in a very loving way, [but] my label has been itching for all the music that I’ve been creating, and there is such power in saying ‘no.’ I like how we’ve presented the music this year because it wasn’t in an aggressive way; it felt very genuine. I’ve canceled the past two tours I’ve done, so that’s something I’ve considered deeply too.”
In case you’ve missed it, Gomez recently released a collaboration song Wolves with producer Marshmello. The song peaked at number 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100. You can check it out below.
