Did Selena Gomez Pick This Mystery Man Over Met Gala? Here’s The Truth

Looks like “Wolves” singer Selena Gomez is changing priorities and is back to the dating scene after being seen curled up with a mystery man. Is she picking love, and is it the reason behind her missing Met Gala 2019? The answer might disappoint fans.

Gomez and ex-boyfriend-now-married Justin Bieber were last seen as a couple in Disneyland. On May 5, Gomez returned to Disneyland again, same date as last year. Only this time she’s with her closest friends and potentially with a new love.

Or is he? Gomez shared her happy day with her fans through Instagram as she uploaded several photos of her closest friends in Disneyland. The singer opted for a comfy outfit, a black-hooded sweatshirt and leggings.

What others missed in Gomez’s Instagram posts is her photo with a mystery man in gray-hooded sweatshirt and black trousers. The two were snapped together, with Gomez curled up with the mystery man.

The photo quickly circulated online with speculations on Gomez’s new reason for seemingly being happier and inspired recently. In addition, Gomez missed this year’s Met Gala, which was held a day after her Disneyland escapade. She has been a regular attendee of the event since 2014.

Is the mystery man the reason Gomez missed the Met Gala? Did she skip the event so they could spend some time together? The answer is an likely no. An insider revealed that the mystery man everyone is now focusing on is a male friend of Gomez.

Gomez may have moved on from Bieber, but the singer-actress is not ready to date yet. A source disclosed that Gomez “loves to work and stay busy.” She is spending more time with family and friends now as her way to maintain her mental health.

In April, Gomez got involved in a dating rumor with One Direction alum singer Niall Horan. The rumor quickly died down as a source close to Gomez cleared it up. Gomez admires Horan for his talent.

As to what hindered Gomez from attending the Met Gala, an Instagram caption from Gomez’s friend, who reposted Gomez’s Instagram photos, might be the answer — “Soooo last night we walked 6 miles at Disney lol my feet hurt still.”
