What You Never Knew About Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez has been in some pretty high profile relationships, most notably with Justin Bieber. Per Seventeen, Gomez was first linked to the pop star in 2010, and they dated on and off until 2018. Other famous faces Gomez has been involved with include Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and Charlie Puth, per Cosmopolitan.

In a 2020 interview with NPR, Gomez opened up about her turbulent relationship with Bieber, alleging that she had been subjected to emotional abuse while she was with him. "As much as I definitely don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever felt and I've found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible," she said.

Gomez opened up to Vogue Australia about her rocky love life, saying, "I think most of my experiences in relationships have been cursed," adding that she "never really felt equal." As she's gotten older, Gomez has developed a better sense of what it means to be in a healthy relationship, and she isn't willing to settle for anything less. She's also not going to let her past experience make her fearful of getting into another relationship. "I believe that [love] exists," she said on the "Zach Sang Show" in 2019. "I'm happy waiting for that for however long it takes because we're going to be doing this forever."
