Since the "Wizards of Waverly Place" actress' public breakup with Justin Bieber in March 2018 after dating on and off since 2011, she has been constantly linked to several names in the industry like Charlie Puth, Niall Horan, Zedd, and The Weeknd who was her most recent before the "Chainsmokers" star.

The Texas native and The Weeknd were involved in January 2017 before the pair broke it off in October of that same year. Taggart also has his list of names, his most recent being Steve Jobs' daughter, Eve Jobs, a fellow DJ.

The former couple was said to have been engaged in a short fling last year during the Summer holiday before calling it off afterward. Sources disclosed that they ended things amicably and chose to remain friends.

One fan seemed more relieved that she cleared the air by writing, "Thank God !!! That guy was worse than Bieber. Just google his name @selenagomez." Another follower also expressed relief with a "Thank God" over Gomez's post before coming back to ask who the guy at the bottom of the picture was. 

Apart from wanting to know who she is dating, it looks like they have an idea of the particular kind of man they want her with judging by this tweet which read, "good to know you're saving your heart for a black man I know that's right! @selenagomez.”

Although there might be a case of different opinions as this person opined that they would prefer her to be with someone from her race, writing, "thank you sister, we'll get you a nice Latino @selenagomez."

Only some first meetings have to go well, and sometimes it is not always love at first sight, it might be an annoyance or just a plain lack of vibes. Although they were spotted on a bowling date in New York City, The Blast shared that the presumed couple did not always like each other. 

The 33-year-old hinted on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that they were having a lot of fun together. The EDM artist admitted to Alex Cooper that he is in a relationship and had been for a couple of months while noting that at first, there was "ZERO VIBES" after they first met.

He explained how they met, saying, "We got set up on a date a year ago, and it was the WORST date either of us had ever been on. Yeah, it was like ZERO vibes, just missed connection, and we didn't see each other for, I think, six months after that." 

The award-winning musician went on to say that they kept running into each other last summer, and one conversation they had to joke about was the initial bad date. He concluded by saying, "we like hit it off on the Fourth of July and started hanging out and then started dating in, like, September, I guess."
