Charlie Puth: 'There is no romance with Selena Gomez'
Charlie Puth is playing down fresh rumors linking him romantically to Selena Gomez.
The See You Again hitmaker teamed up with Selena last year (15) for his song We Don't Talk Anymore, and the pair has repeatedly been linked as lovers ever since they posted a video on social media app Snapchat in January (16) after the Golden Globes.
Selena denied the reports at the time, telling Eonline.com, "We're
not (dating), that's for sure", but the status of their
relationship hit headlines once again earlier this week
(begs28Mar16), amid new claims suggesting they have been enjoying a
secret fling for months.
"It's not serious, but she's super into him," a source told
UsMagazine.com.
Charlie was quizzed about the latest romance allegations during an
appearance on The Tommy Show on 94.7 Fresh FM, and he was adamant
there is still no truth to the rumors.
"We're friends, and I'm very happy to have collaborated with her,"
he said, according to Entertainment Tonight. "She's a really
awesome singer."
"We did a song together and people think that there's more, but we
just musically collaborated," he added. "I'm going on tour with
her. She's gracious enough to let me come on a couple dates with
her."
The cheeky hosts teased Charlie about his use of the word "dates",
prompting the 24-year-old to laugh and clarify, "Music...! Tour
dates! Yes, tour dates."
Continuing to gush about Selena's talents, he concluded, "She's
really, really awesome and she's a really, really fantastic singer
and kills it in the studio, and I love working with singers who
just know what to do right away."
Selena is set to kick off The Revival Tour in May (16), with
Charlie joining Justin Bieber's ex as her opening act in Anaheim,
California in July (16).
