The singer talks relationships both past and present
Selena Gomez spoke easily about her relationship with "The Weeknd" and stated that he is more like a best friend than an influence in her life. Gomez stated that she is not the kind of person to rely on her romantic life as a source of her happiness but has revealed that she is currently very happy in her relationship with "The Weeknd."
The star spoke candidly, about how her ex Justin Bieber taught her a lot about what she should not look for in a relationship.
According to The Sun, Gomez stated that Bieber made her feel very insecure in herself and this caused her to be easily influenced by her boyfriend at the time.
She stated that it is important to have a relationship that adds to one's life and not someone who controls it. Gomez and Bieber had an on and off relationship from the years 2010 to 2015.
Gomez has revealed that their relationship was not healthy for either of them and that they both decided to call it quits back in 2015.
Fans of Gomez were extremely impressed by the celebrity's honesty and have praised Gomez for not relying on a man for her happiness.
