Justin Bieber is yet to confirm his romance with Selena Gomez but the teen pop sensation has admitted he is smitten by her.
The 17-year-old began dating the Disney starlet last year but never made it official despite being seen cozying up in public. "Selena is amazing. She makes me really happy," Bieber said.
Gomez recently opened up about their relationship saying she was glad to have found someone who could understand the pressures of a career in the limelight.
"He's been in my life for so long and it's just nice to have someone that understands what you're going through," she said.
Gomez, who was recently criticised by Bieber fans on twitter, said, "I've been best friends with him for a very long time. It does hurt my feelings a lot but I try not to focus on it," she added.
