Selena Gomez ignores press speculation about her private life, and wonders how people can go into work just to create the rumours.

Selena Gomez doesn’t pay attention to the speculation about her love-life, a new interview will reveal.

The 20-year-old star spoke to Nylon magazine before her split with Justin Bieber – her on/off boyfriend of two years – and she admits she doesn’t understand why the media has to create stories about her romances.

She said: “It blows my mind that somebody wakes up every morning and goes to their little office and meets with people to just make stuff up … [I don't read them] unless it’s really bad and I need to know.”

“At the end of the day, love is such a normal thing, and everyone deals with it. Just because it’s a different lifestyle doesn’t change the meaning of what I’ve been raised on, which is fairy tales.”

Her relationship with Justin was a source of great speculation in the media, but at the time of the interview Selena seemed happy, claiming she was “having fun.”

She has since ended it, and the ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ star will likely turn to her celebrity friend Taylor Swift for advice.

Selena revealed: “We have both experienced the same things at the same time … But we’ve never once talked about our industry.

“She just became the person I’d go to for an issue with my family or boyfriend. It’s so hard to trust girls, so I’m lucky to have her.”

The pair will probably help each other now as they both go through public break-ups.
