Justin Bieber has yoghurt with Gomez

The 16-year-old Canadian heartthrob was spotted laughing and joking with the Disney star in California earlier this week. The pair spent time together at Menchie’s frozen yoghurt store in Encino and appeared to be on a date. They both opted for cake batter flavour and were seen enjoying their frozen treats before leaving together.

“She grabbed Justin's hand to pull him out of the store and they held hands as they left," an onlooker told People magazine.

Another source has claimed the pair looked “really cute together”.

Justin and Selena first sparked romance rumours when they were seen watching a high school American football match together in California.

Justin has so far remained coy about his relationship with the 18-year-old singer, insisting he is just a normal teenager who enjoys spending time with girls and going on dates.

However, he did recently reveal he has a soft spot for the pretty brunette. “She's sweet. She's a sweetheart,” he gushed.
