Selena Gomez follows The Weeknd on Instagram, appears to confirm relationship

Selena Gomez has begun following The Weeknd on Instagram and thereby confirming her relationship with the singer.

Singer-actor Selena Gomez appears to have confirmed her relationship with The Weeknd by following him on Instagram. The Hands To Myself hitmaker has been rumoured to be dating the Starboy rapper since the pair were spotted locking lips earlier this month.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have been dating each other for a while.

Gomez has proved things are heating up between them by clicking the follow button on his profile on the photo-sharing app, as she only follows 256 people, reported Us magazine.

Gomez’s cousin and close family friend Priscilla DeLeon is also following the Grammy winner, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye.
