Selena Gomez and The Weeknd news: Couple still strong despite rumors involving Justin Bieber

American singer and pop star, Selena Gomez has been intimately dating The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye. However, recent reports have stated that Gomez has been getting close to Canadian pop star Justin Bieber as well, and fans of Gomez have been wondering what Tesfaye thinks of the reconnection.

In a report by E News Online, the 23-year-old Bieber had "freaked out" upon hearing the news of Gomez's kidney transplant, which took place last September. The news, which Bieber heard from mutual friends, had sparked him to go and pay her a visit. The two had finally met in person last Sunday, Oct. 22, at Gomez's home in Los Angeles, wherein they were described to have a "friendly relationship."

To make sure that Tesfaye does not get uncomfortable with the whole situation, Gomez has ensured him that the visits and meet-ups would be limited. Despite this news, some sources still doubt the current status of Gomez and Tesfaye's relationship. According to Elite Daily, Bieber and Gomez had been spotted last weekend with their mutual friends from church, whom Gomez introduced to Bieber at an attempt to help the pop singer change his life.

The two may have been together when they were still teenagers, but it seems that they both have spent enough time apart for them to grow up and become more mature. After two years of not dating, Bieber and Gomez have finally moved on, and decided to become friends, according to OK! Some people speculated that Tesfaye was not around due to him being upset with the situation.

However, he was simply engaged with his tour, which is why he could not be part of the reunion between Gomez and Bieber. In fact, Glamour has reported that Bieber was not the only person Gomez has been trying to reconnect with after her kidney transplant. Demi Lovato, Gomez's former best friend, was one of the notable people Gomez was also trying to make peace with. Perhaps, it is safe to assume that the successful operation has changed the perspective of Gomez.
