Selena Gomez has opened up about rekindling her romance with Justin Bieber.

Gomez explains that maturity has made all the difference in their relationship.

“I’m 25. I’m not 18, or 19, or 20,” she told Billboard.

“I cherish people who have really impacted my life.

“So maybe before, it could have been forcing something that wasn’t right. But that doesn’t mean caring for someone ever goes away.”

The couple, who first dated from 2010 – 2015, were spotted together again this week, attending a church service in Los Angeles before going for a drink just the two of them at the Montage Hotel.

Selena, who underwent a life-saving kidney transplant this year, also discussed her split from The Weeknd. They broke up in October after 10 months together.

“Something that I’m really proud of is that there’s such a true friendship [between me and The Weeknd],” she said.

“I truly have never experienced anything like that in my life. We ended it as best friends, and it was genuinely about encouraging and caring [for each other], and that was pretty remarkable for me.”

Even if Selena and the Starboy singer are on good terms, apparently he doesn’t want to see her on Instagram anymore. Eagle-eyed fans noted in recent days The Weeknd deleted all pics of Selena from his Instagram account, and unfollowed her.
