Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez top the list of most adorable celebrity couples. But it seems like their relationship may be getting a little bit more serious than we thought. Apparently the young teen sensation is telling the world that he’s in love with his girlfriend of a year, Selena Gomez.

The New Zealand Herald reported that when they asked Justin if he was in love with Selena, he responded: “I wouldn’t be with somebody if I wasn’t in love.”

While there were some rumors speculating that the two were breaking up, it sounds like the duo is better than ever. After a year of dating, things are going strong. Bieber also shared why his connection with Selena runs so deep, saying, “Everybody can see she is hot and that’s great, but there is so much more to her than that. She makes me laugh and she puts up with my practical jokes. She has really strong family values as well. We were both raised by our mums in single-parent households, and that’s given us a lot of the same family values in life.”

The two are definitely taking time to enjoy eachother’s company and we’re hoping that they continue their adorable romance.  Sounds like that’s exactly what he wants too, “We are just a young couple who are enjoying spending time with each other.”
