Selena Gomez is no stranger to being in the headlines as the iconic singer always manages to turn into a newsworthy topic. Normally, the tabloids speak of her public appearances or music releases, but the latest instance of her going viral is quite different. On this occasion, the 30-year-old became a centerpiece of attention through her silly and flirtatious antics at a local Soccer game.
Known for her chart-topping hits, the ‘Same Old Love’ singer is currently single, something that she is incredibly comfortable with. Despite having a vivid dating history, including an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber, Gomez is yet to settle down. But that fact has not stopped her from living her best life.
As per recent rumors, the actress was said to having an affair with fellow artist Zayn Malik. But Gomez has now effectively quashed these rumors by proudly announcing that she is indeed single.

Her choice of venue to make the bold declaration caught the internet by surprise, as Gomez buoyantly yelled out her relationship status while spectating a local game of Soccer.
The discovery was made after the singer posted a TikTok displaying the entire interaction. As seen in it, Gomez is seated pitchside along with some of her friends. Covered in blankets with a scarf hung around her neck, the Rare Beauty founder looks noticeably cozy, and her attention appeared to be fixated on the players.
The game on display had clearly piqued her interest, as the singer brazenly yelled out “I’m single. I’m just a little high-maintenance. But I’ll love you sooooooo much.”

Surprisingly enough, her plea drew little in terms of a reaction from the players, who simply continued playing.
Nevertheless, Soccer fans online made sure to offer up their reactions to Selena’s admission.
Selena Gomez’s dating history
The ‘Only Muders in the Building’ star has dated a number of celebrities, including some of her music contemporaries and even a few actors. The list of her ex-boyfriends includes; Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Orlando Bloom, Zedd, Niall Horan, Samuel Krost, Charlie Puth, The Weeknd, and most recently, Andrew Taggart.
To note the obvious exception, Selena dated Justin Bieber for at least three different periods of time, truly living up to the on-again-off-again label.
Nevertheless, the singer remains single as of right now. And as per her SNL monologue from 2022, it’s not by choice. Gomez famously said that she was looking for her “soulmate”, and that matters had reached the point where she would “take anyone.”

Hopefully, her attempts at getting a partner on the Soccer pitch prove successful.
