Nick Jonas & Selena Gomez: Are They Dating?Could it be a match made in Disney heaven? For weeks rumors have
swirled that two Disney Channel stars, Jonas Brothers hunk Nick Jonas
and Selena Gomez, are dating.
Now, a source confirms to PEOPLE that Jonas, 15, and Gomez, 16, are an item, saying, "They've been dating for months."
A rep for the Jonas Brothers maintains there's no romance.
"They are not girlfriend and boyfriend. They're friends. All of the
Jonas Brothers are friends with Selena."
Evidence suggests that the pair are close. Gomez, who appears
in the Jonas Brothers' video "Burnin Up," has been photographed
skateboarding wearing an Elvis Costello T-shirt, an item which Jonas
told PEOPLE was one of his favorite things. And, Gomez was seen dancing
with all three of the Jonas Brothers at the Disney Channel Games in
Orlando, Fla., in March.
Back in April, Gomez told
PEOPLE she was unattached. "Of course, boys are on every girl's mind.
But I am only 15. I don't think I need a boyfriend right now. I have
crushes and I go on dates ... but younger kids my age take that stuff
way too seriously."
Gomez's rep did not immediately return a request for comment.
The dating debate was reignited Wednesday when
Rolling Stone published a cozy-looking photo of Jonas and Gomez in the August issue of the magazine.
Dating or not, the pair do have plenty in common: Beyond their
celebrity, both Jonas and Gomez wear promise rings as a symbol of
chastity. Said Gomez: "That was something we bonded over."
