The NBA stars often find themselves surrounded by dating rumors, and most of the time, the rumors are associated with Hollywood biggies. Furthermore, the ‘vigilant’ audience on the internet never comes short of giving updates on the dating life of Selena Gomez. Back in 2020, Jimmy Butler and her rumored association caught the headlines.
And this time, it’s the Los Angeles Lakers star forward who has fallen prey to the trend. On X, a user claims that “Selena Gomez and Rui Hachimura have been “quietly hanging out”.” However, the so-called breaking news seems to be nothing more than a stunt to gain traction on the internet.

There has been no proof to support these claims. Let’s debunk this myth, citing some recent news based on facts and the celebrities’ statements.
Who are Rui Hachimura and Selena Gomez dating?
Rui Hachimura, the star forward of the Los Angeles Lakers, has been in a relationship with influencer-turned-model Briana Delgado for a couple of years now. Although the couple has been quite private about their relationship, the duo has been living together since Hachimura was traded to the Lakers in January 2023.
Hachimura’s girlfriend has amassed approximately 291 thousand followers on her Instagram handle and stays very active on all her social media. Apart from Instagram, Delgado also owns a FanFix account, where fans can make a tip to start a conversation with her.
Although there is not much information available in terms of their ongoing relationship, the couple has been sharing the same abode for quite some years now. Selena Gomez, on the other hand, is quite vocal about her relationship status.
Selena made a statement back in September 2023 on TikTok saying, “Guess who has a boyfriend? Not me bitch. Y’all stay safe out there.” This statement alone says a lot about how the famous singer is busy doing her own thing and doesn’t feel any sort of pressure to commit to a person.
While the two seem to have no association with each other, the above-mentioned breaking news on X turns out to be a ‘false alarm’ and nothing else. While Rui Hachimura is down with a nasal fracture, Selena Gomez is busy living her life.
