Relationship rumors have been flying around Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber after the two were seen hanging out once again, riding their bikes together and enjoying a coffee "date." And while neither singer has confirmed their relationship status, "sources" are whispering that the two celebs are officially back together.
Selena and Justin were spotted again last night [Friday, November 3] where they reportedly had dinner at Morton’s The Steakhouse after attending a church service together. And it sounds like the meal was super-private; the celebs had the entire restaurant closed to the public as they enjoyed their dinner.
Naturally, Selena looked completely stylish for the [possible] date night; the singer wore a white cowl-necked sweater with buckles on the sleeves paired with skinny black jeans. She finished off the look with shiny black mules, a black belt, and a sleek pulled-back hairstyle. Leave it to Selena to make even the simplest outfit look runway-ready, and she's definitely inspired our autumn weekend looks for the remainder of the month.

It seemed like a nice idea. Last fall, an older and supposedly more mature Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber rekindled their childhood romance following her kidney transplant surgery and his reported efforts to re-focus on his faith. But happily ever after? Apparently not, with reports coming in that the pop lovebirds are taking a break — and possibly for good.
“They’re supposedly taking a break,” a source told Page Six. “She has trust issues. He has trust issues. There’s a lot going on there. They do this all the time. They get into arguments.”
Another source added to People that their “break” has nothing to do with Gomez’ mom, Mandy Teefey, who has made it clear she didn’t approve of her 25-year-old daughter getting back together with Bieber, who just turned 24.
“They’re not on a break because of her relationship with her mom,” a source said about the couple. “They have their own issues and are always on and off. She wouldn’t base her relationship off of what her mom thinks.”
Earlier this year, Teefey told People she was “not happy” about the rekindled romance, but added that “Selena can live her life however she wants as long as she is happy, safe and healthy.”
Reports started circulating in the fall that Gomez and Bieber had mended fences. The “Wolves” singer had also recently split from The Weeknd. Gomez and Bieber dated on and off from 2011 to 2014.

The heart wants what it wants. Justin Bieberhas been wrapped up in drama with Selena Gomezand Hailey Bieber [née Baldwin] for more than a decade — and we’re breaking it all down on Us Weekly’s “Hot Hollywood” podcast.
Justin and Gomez were romantically linked for the first time in 2011 after claiming they were just friends for two years.
“I wouldn’t be with somebody if I wasn’t in love,” the “Baby” singer told New! magazine of Gomez in October 2011. “She makes me laugh and she puts up with my practical jokes. She has really strong family values as well. We were both raised by our moms in single-parent households, and that’s given us a lot of the same family values in life.”
The twosome’s on and off relationship hit a breaking point in 2015. After they split, Justin and Hailey’s friendship turned romantic. The “Sorry” crooner and the model were spotted making out on New Year’s Eve in December 2015. After dating for several months, however, they broke up.
“I know that in the past I’ve hurt people and said things that I didn’t mean to make them happy in the moment. So now I’m just more so looking at the future, making sure I’m not damaging them,” Justin told GQ magazine in March 2016. “What if Hailey ends up being the girl I’m gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it’s always gonna be damaged. It’s really hard to fix wounds like that. It’s so hard. … I just don’t want to hurt her.”
Justin also referred to his relationship with Gomez as “cordial” during the interview.
“We don’t talk often,” he said. “If she needs something, I’m there for her. If I need something, she’s there for me.”
Justin continued: “I don’t want to put anyone in a position where they feel like I’m only theirs, only to be hurt in the end. Right now in my life, I don’t want to be held down by anything. I already have a lot that I have to commit to. A lot of responsibilities. I don’t want to feel like the girl I love is an added responsibility.”
Over a year later, Justin and Gomez gave their relationship another shot. It wasn’t long before they split again, however, and Justin reconnected with Hailey. Two months after Us Weekly confirmed that the Grammy winner and the “Hands to Myself” songstress broke up in May 2018, Justin proposed to Hailey.
The pair tied the knot in September 2018. A year [and another wedding] later, Gomez seemingly called out her ex for moving on so quickly in a song titled “Lose You to Love Me.”
