Selena Gomez’s relationship with ex Justin Bieber was often marred by drama, but it sounds like her relationship with The Weeknd is the exact opposite.
Gomez opened up about the Starboy singer, who she’s been dating since January, in an interview with US Instyle, explaining that they’re happy because she has a balanced, full life.
“I don’t depend on one area of my life to make me happy,” she said.
“It’s really important for me to love and nourish my friends and family and to make sure that I never get influenced by a guy.”
The 25-year-old said that in the past she wasn’t in a good place.
“I’ve wanted to be in a strong head space for years, and I really wasn’t. Before, I was so young and easily influenced, and I’d feel insecure.
“You want someone to add to your life, not to complete you, if that makes sense.
“I’m lucky because he’s more of a best friend than anything else.”
In the interview she also revealed that her 90-day stay in rehab last year was “the best thing that I ever could’ve done.”
“I had no phone, nothing, and I was scared. But it was amazing, and I learned a lot.
“Everything I cared about, I stopped caring about,” she continued.
“I came out, and it felt like, ‘Okay, I can only go forward.’ And there are still days. I go to therapy. I believe in that and talking about where you are. But I’m in a really, really healthy place.”
