Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez rumoured to have split up

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez have reportedly split after it emerged Justin was seen  ‘chatting up’ models backstage at the Victoria’s Secret show on Wednesday.

Justin has since been seen taking 19-year-old Hungarian fashion model Barbara Palvin to see The Lion King on Broadway.

According to a source, Selina and Justin broke up about a week ago, last being spotted together on October 20.

An insider said:”‘Because of their crazy schedules, it was getting harder and harder to maintain a relationship.”

Amongst claims they split last week, Selena angrily posted a picture on her Twitter page showing Justin with his rumoured new squeeze in the background on Thursday.

To add even more  drama to the story, it has emerged the fashion model attacked the Wizards of Waverly Place star earlier this year.

In a webchat 11 months ago she offered to sing her fans a song of their choice, but added: “I don’t like Selena Gomez by the way…”

Yesterday Barbara denied there is anything going on but friendship between her and Justin for the second time via her Twitter account.

She wrote: “last time im saying it. please calm down.there is nothing going on w him.i met him and did a pic w him. wouldnt u do the same?:) #friendship”
