KEY POINTS

  • Selena Gomez is not in a rush to jump into another serious relationship, a report says
  • Gomez reportedly wants a confident, supportive, trustworthy and reliable man to be her future partner
  • This comes amid reports that she went on a "casual" date with Jimmy Butler in New York City

Selena Gomez is not in a rush to find a new boyfriend amid rumors that she is dating NBA star Jimmy Butler.

Despite reports of Gomez going on a few dates with Butler, the "Rare" singer is focusing on the things that make her happy and is not ready to jump into a serious relationship right now, Entertainment Tonight reported.

"Selena has enjoyed hanging out with Jimmy, but she is keeping her options open in terms of guys," an unnamed source told the outlet.

"She is comfortable dating, but also comfortable being single. She’s not rushing into anything whatsoever," the insider continued.

At present, Gomez is after the things that make her happy, regardless if it's a relationship or not. But though she's not ready to settle down, the singer apparently already knows the qualities that she wants in a future partner.

"The qualities that stand out to her in terms of a potential boyfriend are confident, supportive, smart, funny, trustworthy, and reliable," the insider said.

This comes weeks after reports surfaced that the Rare Beauty founder stepped out with Butler in New York City. An unnamed source told E! News that the Miami Heat player "asked her to go to dinner and they had a great time."

The date was reportedly "very casual" and Gomez is "open to seeing where things go" with him. However, the insider also said that the singer "isn't settling down just yet."

Meanwhile, Gomez continues to have her name associated to one of her exes, Justin Bieber, despite ending their relationship years ago.

Just recently, Bieber called out a woman who encouraged other fans of Gomez to go after his wife, Hailey Baldwin. The “Sorry” singer didn’t mention his ex-girlfriend’s name and decided to take the high road but said it was very difficult because those people were attacking the person he loved the most.

"This sad excuse of a human just encouraged people on video to literally go after my wife telling people to say that my previous relationship was better so on and so fourth [sic]. I just wanted to share this so that people get an idea of what we face on a day to day," Bieber wrote on Instagram Story.

"It is extremely hard to choose the high road when I see people this try and rally to gather people to bully the person I love the most in this world. It is not right," he continued.

Bieber also asked fans for prayers because he knows that there are people who will always go after them since they are in the spotlight.
