Is Selena Gomez dating Ed Sheeran while in rehab?
On November 5, a report surfaced claiming Selena Gomez could be ready to put an end to her on-again, off-again romance with Justin Bieber after striking up a romance with Sheeran, who has been a close friend of her longtime friend Taylor Swift for years.
According to Jobs & Hire, Selena Gomez is still in rehab, but during her stint in treatment, she has reportedly received visits from Sheeran and her friend Swift. The outlet also claimed that Selena Gomez and her rumored new man were spotted staying close to one another during a recent concert and enjoyed a dinner date at the Sunset Tower Hotel.
However, no official confirmation of a romance between the two has been confirmed and no photos of Sheeran and Swift visiting Gomez have surfaced.

Selena Gomez first announced she was taking a break from her “Revival World Tour” in August.
“As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,” Selena Gomez explained in a statement to People Magazine. “I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.”
“I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off. Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues,” she continued.
Unfortunately, just weeks later, a source told In Touch Weekly magazine that Selena Gomez was “miserable” as she treated symptoms of lupus at a Tennessee rehab. According to the report, Selena Gomez hates the facility and began complaining about her time there as soon as the effects of her detox starting impacting her body. The source also noted that those close to Selena Gomez were worried about her mental state.
Around the time of the report, Selena Gomez was spotted in the area of her rehab and appeared to be doing well. In regard to her public appearances, a source told Us Weekly magazine in October that Selena Gomez was really nice while spending time with her mother and stepfather at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Alcoa, Tennessee. Then, the following day, another source said she was laughing a lot as she enjoyed breakfast with her grandparents at the Riverstone Restaurant in Townsend, Tennessee, and noted that the singer seemed “happy and relaxed.”

Following the announcement of Selena Gomez’s career hiatus, rumors swirled in regard to potential drug use, but a People Magazine source insisted her time off was “absolutely not related to alcohol or substance abuse” and was prompted after she “hadn’t felt like herself” over the past couple months.
“[Selena Gomez] decided to clear her calendar for the year in order to have this be her priority for future happiness and didn’t want to leave any promoters at bay,” the source said. “She feels relieved that she can now make more sense of why she was feeling the way she was and is optimistic about the future.”
