Selena Gomez appeared on the Today show and admitted to Sheinelle Jones that the real reason she was following Abel around on tour was because she was finally able to make her personal life a priority.
After taking canceling the remainder of her tour last year due to mental and physical exhaustion, Selena Gomez flew to Tenessee to take some time for herself and began a program where she had professional therapy for 90 days with a small group of women.
Selena reemerged at the American Music Awards in November, and by January, she had sparked a romantic interest with The Weekend, aka Abel Tesfaye.

The busy actress and singer is currently working on an album, shooting fashion campaigns, and producing multiple television series. However, Selena realized the importance of focusing on herself and her love life, according to Elle.
“I’m actually enjoying finding moments for myself, whether I’m in the studio, and I’ve been in the studio for a week straight and haven’t really said anything about it. I like having a little mystery to where I’m at and I think that makes me feel very empowered.
“That makes me feel in control of where I’m at. Also, I’m taking time to have a personal life so I’m enjoying mixing that because I’ve always been kind of straight work. Now, it’s just taking my time.”
