It’s 2017 and Selena Gomez is the most followed person on Instagram. Her brand is evolving to be more mature and sexier, enhanced by her new relationship with the mysterious Abel Tesfaye (aka: The Weekend). Oh no—queue the conspiracies that this was a PR contract.  

By all accounts, this relationship seemed to be evolving sweetly until it was abruptly interrupted by Selena’s ex Justin Bieber crawling back one last time. But is that the full story? 

Join us as we dissect their full ten-month timeline. We’re talking about that awkward grey area of dating the ex of someone in your social circle who you’re not THAT close with (ahem, Bella Hadid). Plus, we touch on the impact of going through something intense, like Selena’s transplant, in the early stages of a relationship. Finally, we are asking once again, do some celebrity couples REALLY fake their relationships? Listen and decide for yourself!
