Brooklyn Beckham might have broken-up with Chloe Grace Moretz because of his crush on Selena Gomez

There is speculation in the media that Brooklyn Beckham dumped his girlfriend, Chloe Grace Moretz, because of his huge crush on Selena Gomez. The son of David and Victoria Beckham was reportedly smitten by Gomez while dating Moretz in 2014.

"He was smitten with Selena even while he was dating Chloe, which was one of the reasons they broke up," an insider told OK magazine. The magazine also writes that the footballer “drools about her [Gomez] to all his friends and thinks she’s the hottest woman alive.”

However, the “Good For You” songstress was in love with Justin Bieber at that time and ignored all dating requests from 16-year-old Brooklyn. The 23-year-old was flattered that the British heartthrob had a crush on her, writes the magazine, adding that she was not very sure their relationship would work.

The two met during the New York Fashion Week on Sept. 11 and got their pictures clicked. “She says Brooklyn’s sweet and all, but he’s just too young for her,” the insider told the magazine, adding that she only sees him as a friend and not a lover.

However, Gomez has said in her previous interview that she is now over Bieber and wants to move on in her life. She started dating the Canadian pop star in 2011 and has been in a tumultuous relationship with him since then. However she still considers him her best friend.

"I'll forever support him and love him in a way that...We grew up together,” Gomez told Elle. “I respect him. And I think he respects me, in a healthy manner,” said the singer. Both Gomez and Bieber are currently gearing up for the releases of their albums in October and November, respectively.
