Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber haven't been photographed together since Gomez got Bieber to go to a hot Pilates class with her on January 3rd. But despite weeks publicly apart, Jelena is actually doing just fine privately—rest assured—E! reports. 'Justin and Selena are still going strong,' a source told the outlet. 'Everything is so different this time around.'
'They are still together,' a second source additionally confirmed, 'and speak all the time when they are not together.'
Like literally, the first source detailed. 'They do a good job keeping in touch when they are away from each other. Selena and Justin text all day and even FaceTime from time to time.'
The Biebs has generally really stepped it up. 'Justin is behaving like a gentlemen and showing how much he cares about her,' the first source continued. 'He's is a lot more open about his feelings towards Selena, which has been a big sign of him maturing.' Basically, he 'wants to make this work,' the second source told the outlet.
Things are also getting better between Gomez and her mother Mandy Teefey. Teefey and Gomez publicly unfollowed each other on Instagram right before the holiday, reportedly in part because her mother isn't happy about Gomez's reconciled romance with Bieber. But now, 'everything is better with Selena and her mother,' the second source said. 'A small percentage of it had to do with Justin but there were other issues they had to work on.' Phew!
