Selena Gomez Seeing Austin Mahone
Ummm... is this even legal? Isn't he underage? 
Seems like a PR stunt to me anyway... Justin is out & now Austin can swoop in to be the next Bieber and what better way to do that, then date Selena.
Taylor Swift is all about making love connections -- even when they're not for her! As revealed in the new issue of Us Weekly, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress, 24, opened her little black book for Selena Gomez and plucked out a very well-known name: Austin Mahone.
After setting her BFF up with Ed Sheeran last summer, Swift played matchmaker for the "Come and Get It" singer, 21, and the "Say Something" sensation, 17, who opened for her on tour. "They're seeing each other," a source tells Us of the Texas-born star and Gomez.
For now, though, they're keeping the romance relatively quiet. Leaving the Beats Music concert on Jan. 24, they "sneaked out separately," a second source shares, "then got in the same car!"
Gomez -- whose most high-profile relationship to date was with fellow pop superstar Justin Bieber -- recently spoke with Seventeen magazine about what she's looking for in a boyfriend. Having gone through what she called a "really bad breakup" with Bieber, she needed time to figure out what she wants. But now she knows she's ready.
"I actually talked to Katy Perry about guys who are intimidated by strong girls," she said. "I haven't found someone yet who could understand my lifestyle, support it, love me through it, and not be threatened by it. It's hard. I do think I might scare some guys, because I'm like, 'I want to change the world! I have dreams! What do you want to do?' But I only know how to be me."

Re: Selena Gomez Seeing Austin Mahone
Many states have 17 (and younger!) as the age of consent, so no, it's no illegal. It's weird to me though. I'm not one to usually get hung up on age, but I look at it this way- women mature way faster than men so in the late teens/early twenties I find a huge gap in the maturity between men and women of even the same age. And then add seven years to that! Weird, but you're right, probably a PR stunt.

Re: Selena Gomez Seeing Austin Mahone
I don't think she's 24...she's 21.
eta: I'm right...she was born in july of 1992.
ehhh I was dating a 22 year old at 17, doesn't seem that crazy to me. Only difference is usually it's the female who is dating the older male at that age.

Ah ha- that makes it a little better. My DH and I are the same number of years apart and we started dating at that age. But still, it is usually the guy who goes younger. Still say it's a PR move!

The article says she's 21. They're referring to Taylor Swift as the 24 year old.

Really? I have never heard of him before!
I guess Selena likes younger men--Justin is only 19.

He's the newest teeny bopper to emerge. Last year I took my 13 year old SD to see him help light the xmas tree at the Tanger outlets. I don't think he even had his own songs...he was doing covers. He's really getting popular now.
