Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are back together for the nth time. The pop stars have rekindled their romance at the South by Southwest film, interactive, and music festival in Texas.
The young couple was seen all over Texas in each other's company. According to E! News, they had breakfast at Don Pepe's in McAllen, then shopped and ate in Dallas. Other reports also said they went to a Starbucks.
The confirmation came when Bieber did an acoustic performance of his hit song, "As Long As You Love Me" at SXSW. He told the audience, "This song goes out to my baby," while looking at Gomez who was standing at the side of the venue.
Both Bieber and Gomez also dropped hints all weekend and even before that. The troubled singer Instagrammed photos of Gomez at the Vanity Fair party with the caption, "Most elegant princess in the world."
Gomez, a Texan, then posted a photo of herself in Starbucks with the caption, "Hidalgo, I've missed this J ill see you soooon," referring to her post-rehab show in the area. Bieber tweeted the next day, "Saw a great show last night :)."
Speculations about the on-and-off pair have been flying since the start of the year. They were spotted last January 2 riding segways together in the streets of The Oaks in Calabasas, where Bieber lives. The Canadian singer also posted a photo on Instagram of Gomez looking down on him with her arms around his shoulders while he looked straight at the camera and took the picture. It had the caption, "Love the way you look at me." Their representatives declined to comment on anything however, and a source for E! News denied that they were back on. A couple of months later, it appears the rumors were true after all.
Gomez and Bieber began dating in 2010 and went public with their relationship in 2011. Bieber was only 17, while Gomez was 18 at the time, and the pop stars basically grew up together.
