Outside of acting and singing, the Disney darling has always made headlines with her complicated high-profile love life during her time in the spotlight. However, when talking about Selena's romances, most people only acknowledge her on-and-off relationship with superstar Justin Bieber, which spanned seven years. In fact, the Back To You singer has dated far more many guys, most of whom are famous Hollywood celebrities. From her courtship with the Hobbit actor Orlando Bloom to the youngest lad of the Jonas brothers, let's take a walk down memory lane to see who Selena Gomez has loved over the years.

Selena and the youngest brother of the Jonas trio briefly dated for a few months in 2008 when both were just teenagers. Selena even starred as Nick's love interest in the music video for the boy band's hit Burning Up.

During her fling with Nick Jonas, Selena also became best friend with Taylor Swift, who was dating Nick's brother Joe Jonas at the time.

Who could forget the sexy image of Taylor Lautner during his prime in Twilight? It was also when Taylor was filming for the romantic fantasy film that he met and dated Selena Gomez, who was filming for Ramona and Beezus at the time, for a short while. However, their relationship was short-lived, which Selena put down to the excessive public interest. In September 2009, Selena told Seventeen: 'We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him, and I had paparazzi following me. People were getting a little crazy about us.'

Justin and Selena first sparked relationship rumors when they were spotted eating pancakes at pancake house restaurant IHOP in 2010. After repeatedly shutting down rumors that they were in a relationship, Gomez and Bieber confirmed their romance in February 2011.

The couple split for the first time in November 2012 due to trust issues but rekindled their relationships only five months later after Selena released her debut song, Come & Get It, which certainly made reference to the Sorry singer. Despite this, the couple continued to date on and off until April 2014.

Things really went downhill for the rambunctious teenage couple in 2014 when Justin Bieber was arrested for drunk driving and accused of vandalism, while Selena was also hospitalized for Lupus.

Orlando Bloom

Before you read on, this is a very bizarre kind of relationship. In 2014, many outlets reported that Selena and The Hobbit star Orlando Bloom were in a relationship after being seen chilling outside of a Chelsea Handler show.

Remember their seemingly official breakup in April 2014? Turned out it was only part of the several times Justin and Selena broke up and reconciled.

However, Selena and Justin only stayed together until October the same year after the Baby star blatantly lied to Selena and secretly had dinner with Kendall Jenner - that same girl leading to their split in April 2014.

However, their fling was short-lived, which the Russian-German DJ put down to excessive public interference in their private life. In 2017, Zedd told PEOPLE, reflecting on his high-profile courtship with Selena: 'Reporters were calling my parents. People were hacking my friends’ phones. I was pissed. [Although] I kind of knew what I was getting myself into.… She is one of the most talked about people in the world, but I had no idea how much that would change my life.'

It took nearly three years for the Attention singer to admit there was a thing between them. In 2017, Puth told Billboard that their romance was 'short-lived but very impactful'. He said:

'I don't kiss and tell, but the only way a song like We Don't Talk Anymore can come across as real is if there's something else going on behind the scenes. And that's what was happening [with Gomez]. Very short-lived, very small, but very impactful. And it really messed me up. I'm trying to put this the best way possible: It wasn't like I was the only person on her mind. And I think I knew that going in — what I was getting myself into.'
