Williams shared a video of her and Gomez on social media and captioned it, "She said I was hilarious."

The Laugh Factory also shared a picture of the chuckling couple on their Instagram account. It was captioned, "Date night at the Laugh Factory with The Weeknd and Selena Gomez."

Gomez recently dished about her relationship to Ryan Seacrest, "It's too much pressure, and I think everyone gets over everything eventually... I just want to be happy. If that's me just being myself, then I don't really care."

She also said that she tried keeping her private life to herself but found it very tiresome.

In related news, fans are speculating on whether Gomez will attend the 2017 Video Music Awards (VMAs) to support The Weeknd, who is up for five awards and is scheduled to perform at the show. Gomez is not up for any awards and has been known to skip the VMAs.

Last year, she had a falling out with her ex-beau Justin Bieber which caused a feud on social media which led to them not posting updates for a while. When the VMAs came, none of them attended even if they were up for some awards.

Now, however, Gomez appears to be smitten with The Weeknd and is expected to attend the 2017 VMAs on Sunday, Aug. 27 to support him.
