Recently, the suspicion that the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) Organizing Committee changed the seating after placing Selena Gomez near the couple Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet has sparked controversy in public opinion. At this time, many audiences across social networking sites from TikTok to Facebook have been talking about the sensitive relationship of this trio, raising the suspicion that Kylie intentionally avoided Selena and asked the Organizing Committee to intervene in the seating arrangement because she was afraid of losing her boyfriend Timothée.
In 2024, the female singer born in 1992 was suspected of approaching a Hollywood muse but was rejected by her “first wife” Kylie in the artist row at the Golden Globe Awards. Before the end of 2023, Kylie Jenner joined Hailey Baldwin to mock Selena Gomez. Although the female billionaire denied it, she was still heavily criticized by netizens, losing more than 1 million followers on Instagram in just 5 days, officially losing the title of most followed woman to Selena Gomez. However, the most notable reason, mentioned by a series of viewers under this topic, is Selena Gomez’s love history with a series of ex-boyfriends of her friends with the comment “If you have a handsome boyfriend, you have to keep him safe”. It is known that the famous female singer has dated Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Justin Bieber, Orlando Bloom, The Weeknd… and coincidentally, these male stars have all had romantic relationships with Selena’s close sisters in showbiz.
Selena Gomez has been repeatedly accused of not getting along with Kylie Jenner, and was rejected by the beauty for fear of “stealing” Timothée Chalamet.
From here, the audience suddenly reminded Selena Gomez of her love history with the ex-lovers of her close sisters.
Dating Nick Jonas – Miley Cyrus’s ex-boyfriend
Both starting out as child stars, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez grew up together under the Disney “roof”. However, these two stars have a complicated relationship, they are both friends and enemies because of the competition for fame, a series of stormy controversies since 2006 and the climax is the drama related to the famous handsome man Nick Jonas at that time.
From 2006 to 2008, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas maintained a complicated relationship, deeply in love but constantly breaking up, according to the “Disney princess” herself. “Nick and I truly loved each other, and we still love each other very much. For the past 2 years, he has been by my side 24/7. But it’s really hard to keep this relationship out of the eyes of others.”
What surprised the public the most was that in an interview with Seventeen magazine in 2011, Selena Gomez confided about her first love, and too many details of this first love coincided with Nick Jonas. The suspicion that Selena was in between Nick and Miley was all over the major newspapers. It wasn’t until 2016 that the Wizards of Waverly Place star clarified the details to W magazine about her relationship with Miley: “We never argued. We both liked the same guy when we were 16… Now we’re both stable.” In 2023, this pair of rivals surprised the public when they posted stories supporting each other, talking about their good relationship after years of rumors of discord.
Miley and Selena Gomez are now both grown up and support each other
Selena and Taylor Swift – Soulmates who dated “Werewolf” Taylor Lautner in the same year
In showbiz, everyone knows that Selena Gomez has a close sister, Taylor Swift. But perhaps many people do not know that these two best friends once liked and dated the same guy in the same year. According to People , Selena briefly dated Taylor Lautner while she was filming Ramona and Beezus, while the hottest “wolf” in Hollywood was filming Twilight: New Moon .
The couple met because Kristen Stewart stayed at the same hotel as Selena, and Lautner kept visiting her there. “We would run into each other in the lobby all the time, and then go out for lunch and dinner. But at that point, I knew the paparazzi were following him and me. We really just wanted to spend time together, go bowling. It went too far, and people were crazy about us together.”
In the same year, in October 2009, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner fell in love while filming the music video Valentine’s Day together . After only 2 months of getting to know each other and publicly dating, the Taylor duo broke up. In 2010, Taylor Swift even released a song about her ex, and this song Back to December became her lifelong hit.
Although the relationship circle of these 3 stars is quite complicated, they have become a model of “civilized breakup” in European and American showbiz because until now Selena and the Taylor duo have become good friends, supporting each other publicly. The “snake queen” even invited Taylor Lautner and his wife to her concert.
Suspected of “stealing” Justin Bieber from his old friend Jasmine Villegas
Jasmine Villegas (also known as Jasmine V) is not a very famous name among the stars from Disney, but she is often mentioned because of her connection with Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. In 2010, Justin Bieber was said to be dating both Selena and Jasmine. Specifically, from January to September 2010, the male singer had a fleeting feeling for his partner Jasmin during the My World tour. After filming the billion-view MV Baby , Justin asked for this beauty’s number to get to know her. But the two only dated for 9 months, and Jasmine herself once confided that she felt “not on the same level” as her boyfriend. The female singer was heartbroken and felt inferior when Justin only loved her in secret, but publicly dated Selena Gomez to the world right after breaking up with her.
“At that time, I had to exclaim, ‘Oh my gosh. I’m not a superstar like those two, maybe that’s why I couldn’t come out to him.’ I had to go through a relationship and hide everything just so he could come out to others. At that time, I was too young and there were too many factors involved. But there were times when I felt really awkward when I went on tour (Justin Bieber’s tour, because she would come to those shows while he and I were still dating. I was right there! I even played a role in Wizards of Waverly Place before , it’s really a cycle of life,” Jasmine shared.
Jasmine shares a hint about Selena often approaching and being close to Justin Bieber when she dated this male singer.
Jasmine’s story sparked suspicions that Selena flirted with and “stole” Justin while she was still dating the charming singer. Coincidentally, the 1993-born singer was also a colleague who had a good relationship with Selena. They both starred in the hit Disney series Wizards of Waverly Place . Initially, the relationship between the Jelena couple was especially supported by the public because they were both superstars and looked very good together, but then public opinion was divided into two directions. One side criticized Selena for being the third person, the other side defended both Selena and Jasmine and blamed Justin because the male singer deliberately hid his love affair with his less famous girlfriend to move towards his older senior.
Selena and Jasmine co-starred in a movie and had a good relationship.
Twice rumored to have an affair with Orlando Bloom – Katy Perry’s husband
Katy Perry and Selena Gomez have been not only close colleagues but also friends for many years. However, these two beauties have both been involved in rumors of a feud because of actor Orlando Bloom. In April 2014, TMZ released photos of Selena Gomez dating Orlando at the Chelsea Handler comedy show, claiming that the couple was flirting to annoy Miranda Kerr and Justin Bieber. The reason was because before that, the singer born in 1994 revealed a moment of flirting with Miranda at the Victoria’s Secret show. The rumors between Selena and Orlando were quickly extinguished by the owner.
Continuing in May 2016, the Disney princess and The Lord of the Rings actor were rumored to be dating for the second time. TMZ shocked everyone when it released photos of Orlando leaning close to each other and lying on each other’s laps at an after-party in Las Vegas.

This was considered a big shock for the owner of the hit song Roar, all public opinion was directed towards the couple who revealed their intimate photos.
Selena and Orlando were photographed intimately twice by TMZ, but both firmly denied their relationship.
Selena and Orlando share the same manager and both attended the annual We Day California conference. Although the two stars repeatedly denied the love rumors and claimed to be just friends, the public still did not believe it. What the audience found most confusing was the attitude of the three artists afterward. No one spoke up about the series of photos, neither denying nor admitting. After 17 hours since the shocking news was announced, Katy finally dispelled the rumors of her breakup with Orlando when she tweeted about the article the actor wrote for Time about his charity work in Eastern Ukraine. 3 years later, the couple got engaged and have been happy ever since.
Katy and Selena are good friends, but Selena’s intimate photos with Katy’s partner were leaked twice.

Bella wasn’t surprised that Abel and Selena broke up. She never thought it would last. She doesn’t feel sorry for him anymore. Bella loved Abel and was friends with Selena, so when they got together, Bella was devastated. Bella doesn’t want to be mean, but she certainly wasn’t upset that they broke up.
