It looks like Selena Gomez and beau Abel, aka The Weeknd, are getting even more serious.
According to Entertainment Tonight the couple has moved into an apartment in NYC’s Greenwich Village. However, the move is said to only be temporary. Selena is currently filming a yet-to-be-titled Woody Allen project in the city and the Weeknd is on tour.
The source says the move is “a big deal” for Gomez as she typically stays in hotels when working on projects but, although LA is still her home, she’s “definitely immersing” herself into the “nitty gritty of New York.”
The couples rented apartment is said to be “a low-rise luxury building in the heart of the Village” which features high ceilings, Juliette glass balconies and English kitchens. Reportedly it’s costing around $16 000 (R207 000) a month. Sure.
The pair were first reported to be dating at the end of last year but went public at this year’s Met Gala.
Speaking on Ryan Seacrest’s TV show back in June, Selena revealed the reason why she decided to confirm her relationship with The Weeknd: “It’s really hard when I would want to spend so much time hiding things. It’s too much pressure, and I think everyone gets over everything eventually. I just want to be happy. If that’s me just being myself, then I don’t really care.”
Selena also opened up about putting herself and her relationships first, over her career: “I’ve been doing this for so long and I needed a second to breathe. When I did that, I came back and I had it for a while, and I think it’s safe to say I feel like I have a whole album put together at this point. I wanted to make sure my life was balanced and happy and healthy first.”
Good for you girl! After all, she did look extremely happy next to her man that night, didn’t she?
