American singer Selena Gomez, who stated “a boyfriend is nowhere near the top of my list of priorities,” is now reported to be dating NBA star Jimmy Butler.
According to a report by Daily Mirror, the 28-year-old has met the Miami Heat player, 31, “a few times.”
A supply told the tabloid that Jimmy asked Selena out for dinner when they had been in NYC and they had a “great time.”
The supply added that Selena is “single but open to dating.”
Gomez got stardom in 2007 at age 15 by way of “The Wizards of Waverly Place”. She stated that “the way the media has sometimes tried to explain things has made it sound really bad”.
“When in reality, there’s nothing wrong with the fact that I needed to go away or that I fell in love,” she stated, referring to her stints at mental well being facilities and her relationships with former boyfriends like Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.
“I had to start opening up because people were taking away my narrative, and it was killing me,” she stated, adding: “I’m so young, and I’m going to keep changing, and no one has the right to tell me how my life’s going.”
Selena dated Justin in 2011 and broke up inside a year. They seemed to be friendly once more in 2017 but confirmed they are not with each other in 2018.
Gomez was in a partnership with The Weeknd for a short period in 2017.
In April, Selena released the song “Boyfriend” which appeared on the deluxe version of her album titled “Rare”.
“Many of you know how excited I’ve been to release a song called ‘Boyfriend.’ It’s a lighthearted song about falling down and getting back up time and time again in love, but also knowing that you don’t need anyone other than yourself to be happy,” she stated on Instagram.
Gomez added: “We wrote it long before our current crisis, but in the context of today, I want to be clear that a boyfriend is nowhere near the top of my list of priorities. Just like the rest of the world, I’m praying for safety, unity and recovery during this pandemic.”
