We enjoyed social media stalking Selena Gomez as she traveled across the Emirates with her celebrity buds Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Cody Simpson among others, whose group became known as "the new brat pack". It seemed the actress was joyful once again and had finally moved on from her rollercoaster, Justin Bieber past, especially when rumors arose that she had found a new beau on her UAE adventure in the form of her tour guide, Harith Bukhash.
She and the Dubai businessman were seen in many an image online during their travels around the Middle Eastern city, and BANG Showbiz shared that a source had stated, "She is having the best time of her life in Dubai. She really bonded with Harith. He has helped show Selena how she really deserves to be treated, like a princess.
"Plus, he makes her laugh and that's all they have been doing while in Dubai, laughing and having fun!"
We were so pleased that the "Baby" htimaker was officially a thing of the past, and we were pumped that she had an excuse to keep coming o the region.
All our hopes were dashed, however, when 7DAYS in Dubai announced on Tuesday that Harith's brother and business partner Moadh Bukhash denied that a budding romance existed.
He said in an email that the “relationship with them is strictly professional and sharing such information would violate confidentiality agreements, which I’m sure you understand,” 7DAYS reported.
It looks like her biggest gossip-stirring experience during her visit is now left to that naughty exposed ankle at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
