Gomez and The Weeknd, born Abel Tesfaye, were first linked in January following the singer's split from model Bella Hadid. The couple rented out a movie theater for a date night in March during a trip to The Weeknd's hometown of Toronto.

"They both didn't expect this to go as fast as it has, but it's fine by them," a source recently told E! News. "They are both happy and have a great connection, physically and mentally."

Gomez last released the album Revival in 2015, and attended the premiere of her Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why, last week. The Weeknd released the album Starboy in November.
