New York City– It has been years since Selena Gomez dated anyone. Recently PDA photos of her in character with her Only Murders in the Building co-star and on-screen love interest Aaron Dominguez came out and some fans thought that it was a real romance. Because of that, they started harassing Dominguez on social media. Dominguez made light of it and so did Gomez. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Disney alum candidly reflected on how this attention and commentary on her love life makes it impossible to date.
On the topic of Dominguez, Gomez shared: “We had just started working together. I honestly thought, ‘No wonder guys don’t want to date me!’ I think people only care because I’m young, and the older I get, the less they’ll care. For now, it’s a part of the job that I don’t really like. I’m actually grateful that I’m not involved with anyone right now.”
In a report by Elle, Gomez also talked about the viral photo that came out of her flipping off a paparazzo while working on her show.
“Somebody was being disrespectful,” she said. “And I don’t do well with that. Look, I am a very modest person, until you disrespect people. Maybe [it wasn’t] my best moment, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. And I felt very okay with being like…‘Don’t talk to people that way!’”
For the past few months, Gomez and Dominguez have been shooting Only Murders in the Building, an upcoming Hulu comedy, in New York City.
Gomez spoke a little about what the show will be like during an Instagram Live last month: “The show is actually really fun,” she said. “It’s kind of a dramedy, so there’s moments that are real and then there are other moments that are complete chaos and hilarious. I’m working with Steve Martin and Martin Short and if you don’t know their work, by the way, they’re pretty amazing people to be around.”/TISG
