If you want to know what love looks like, look no further than images of Selena Gomez and The Weeknd canoodling – yes, canoodling – like love-sick puppies at the 2017 Met Gala on Monday.

Making their first public outing as a bonafide couple, the 24-year-old singer glowed in an embellished pink slip gown by Coach's Stuart Vevers, as she walked hand-in-hand with her Canadian boyfriend, pausing to snuggle into his chest, kiss him on the red carpet and caress his neck in front of the paparazzi.

I mean, if we were dating The Weekend (real name Abel Tesfaye), we'd be all over him too.

Strike that, if we were dating Selena Gomez, we'd be all over her.

Just look at the woman.

One word: Glorious.

However, four months into the pair's relationship and it appears the 13 Reasons Why executive producer and the 'Starboy' singer have taken their romance to the next level.

According to E!, Selena was heard whispering sweet nothings into her boyfriend's ear, including those three magic words: 'I love you'.

Selena's confession reportedly happened while the duo were walking past Yolanda Hadid, mother of The Weeknd's ex Bella Hadid, however, unlike at the 2016 Victoria's Secret show when the Canadian crooner was spotted kissing his then recent ex's mother on the cheek, the pair didn't interact at the Gala.

To be fair, we have a feeling The Weeknd was the last thing on Bella's mind during the Gala

Selena loves The Weeknd, Bella looked smoking in a catsuit – all is well in the world.
