Selena Gomez’s ‘Love’ For Justin Bieber: ‘He’s Been In My Life A Very Long Time’

Selena Gomez doesn’t mind being bombarded with questions about her rumored romance with Justin Bieber – but she’s still not giving up much info.

“I think it’s awesome people are interested – I don’t understand why,” Selena laughed when Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush asked the Disney darling if she was dating The Biebs on the red carpet at the Grammys on Sunday night.

While Selena, 18, continued to play coy about whether or not the 16-year-old “Never Say Never” star just might be her special someone on Valentine’s Day, she did admit that Justin holds a special place in her heart.

“I love him. He’s been in my life a very long time,” she added. “He’s my friend.”

So who will be Selena’s Valentine?

“I’m actually going to be working all day, so my Valentine will be my fans,” she smiled.

Last week, during a visit to the Access Hollywood studios where Justin sat down for an interview with Billy on “The Billy Bush Show,” the teen phenom spoke briefly about his love life.

“Are you a single man? Are you a dating man?” Billy asked Justin.

“I’m dating – I date a lot of different people,” Justin said. “I’m 16, so I just have fun.”
