Neymar & Selena Gomez: Why Justin Bieber’s Standing In The Way Of A Romance

After Selena Gomez was spotted out and about with soccer stud Neymar Jr. in NYC, it left many wondering whether he's her new beau! But there's one small issue -- he's friends with the Biebs, so would he dare go after his buddy's ex? HollywoodLife.com has the EXCLUSIVE details. Selena Gomez, 23, was recently seen enjoying a night out on the town with Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr, 24, while visiting the Big Apple for her Revival Tour. Speculation of a possible romance only started after the pair exited the same hotel within five minutes of each other and then, went clubbing later that night at Up & Down. So would Neyman ever cross his friend Justin Bieber, 23, to go after the songstress? We've got the EXCLUSIVE scoop!

“Neymar definitely thinks Selena is stunning, but he wouldn’t break bro-code with Justin and try and date her,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He’s really building up a great bond with Justin while he’s staying in LA, and the pair have become really close. They respect each other’s talents, and love hanging out and playing soccer or listening to music. But Neymar would never betray Justin and pursue anything with Selena. He’s just too good a friend.”

Although Jelena have been broken up for quite some time now, there are always little hints suggesting a possible reconciliation between the two musical forces. The “Company” singer” did just re-follow Selena on Instagram which makes us think he wants to see what Sel is up to these days and he may be seeking her attention once again. Justin’s new music video for the fourth single on his Purpose album also includes a cryptic message “LOVE YOU” which could be directed at Selena or another one of his A-list admirers including Hailey Baldwin, Kourtney Kardashian, or Nicola Pietz.

With Selena’s career currently skyrocketing and her Revival Tour lasting throughout the summer, it would be hard not to notice her in all her glory. Her latest video “Kill Em With Kindness” dropped on June 6, and it showcased four seductive outfit choices, her smooth voice and gorgeous locks. It also garnered over 6 million views already and is still counting. She’s got a full plate and is clearly not too worried about her former flame. “Selena is busy and enjoying being on tour,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “She loves not having to miss Justin. She loves not having to be bored and text Justin to pass the time.”

Do you think Neymar should forget bro-code and go after Selena, HollywoodLifers? Or does he not even stand a chance?! Let us know!
