Selena Gomez’s dating résumé reads like a highlight reel of pop culture’s last decade.

Before she turned 25, Selena Gomez had already dated a Jonas brother, a Twilight star, a Grammy-winning producer, and pop’s most talked-about on-off boyfriend. By May 2017, her relationship with Canadian singer The Weeknd had become the latest chapter in a dating history that fans have tracked almost as closely as her music career. Here’s a rundown of the guys who’ve defined that history, from her Disney Channel days to her Met Gala debut with Abel Tesfaye.

• Selena and Justin Bieber’s on-and-off “Jelena” relationship began in late 2010 and went through very public splits in 2012 and again in late 2014.
• Gomez and The Weeknd sparked romance rumors in January 2017 after being photographed kissing in Santa Monica, and made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala on May 1, 2017.
• She confirmed a real spark with Zedd, telling reporters she “definitely had a thing with him” after they collaborated on “I Want You to Know” in early 2015.

The Jelena Era

No relationship on this list generated more headlines than Selena’s on-and-off run with Justin Bieber. It started in late 2010, when both were still teenage Disney and Island Def Jam properties, and it never stayed broken up for long — the pair split publicly in 2012, reunited, then split again in late 2014, with paparazzi and fan accounts tracking every reconciliation in between. The relationship turned “Jelena” into shorthand for celebrity-couple chaos years before it became a permanent internet meme.

The Disney Channel Years

Gomez’s earliest dating history ran through her own Disney Channel circle. She dated Nick Jonas on and off between 2008 and 2010, a pairing that got a very public push after she appeared in the Jonas Brothers’ “Burnin’ Up” video. Around the same period, in 2009, she briefly dated Taylor Lautner while the two were shooting on opposite coasts of the same franchise moment — Gomez filming “Ramona and Beezus” in Vancouver while Lautner was there for “Twilight: New Moon.”

Zedd, Charlie Puth, and the Collaborator Pattern

A recurring theme in Gomez’s love life is the studio-to-relationship pipeline. She dated Russian-German DJ and producer Zedd (Anton Zaslavski) in early 2015 while the two worked on “I Want You to Know,” and she later put the rumors to rest herself.

She “definitely had a thing with him.”

A similar dynamic followed her 2016 duet with Charlie Puth, “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” which fueled dating chatter even though nothing was ever confirmed the way it was with Zedd. Rounding out the recent rumor mill were a linkup with One Direction’s Niall Horan in late 2015 and reported ties to actor Orlando Bloom — the kind of media-fueled speculation that has followed Gomez since her relationship history first became tabloid fodder as a teenager.

Enter The Weeknd

Gomez’s most current chapter as of May 2017 arrived fast. She and Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, were first photographed kissing in Santa Monica in January 2017. From there the relationship moved quickly and publicly: a vacation together in Italy, an Instagram-official rollout, and finally a red-carpet debut as a couple at the Met Gala on May 1, 2017 — a coming-out moment that instantly made them one of music’s most photographed new pairs.

Between the Jonas brothers, the Twilight star, the DJ behind one of her biggest hits, and now The Weeknd, Gomez’s dating history has tracked almost step for step with her career milestones — every high-profile boyfriend arriving right alongside a new song, video, or awards-season moment. Whatever comes next for her and Tesfaye, it’s already following the same pattern: red carpets, Instagram, and a fanbase watching every frame.
