The 17-year-old Disney star loves hanging out with the 16-year-old Baby hit-maker.

“Justin Bieber’s one of my best friends,” Selena told Now.

“He’s very sweeet, but I have healthy balance of industry friends and friends from the third grade. To them, I’m the girl I’ve always been.”

Any rumours about the pair being linked romantically are not true, with Selena insisting that she is single at the moment.

“When I’m linked with guys it’s like: ‘Oh, they’re my friend. That’s awkward’,” she said.

“My kind of guy is nice, honest, very secure and makes me laugh.”

“My family have to like him, too!”
