Dating rumors between Austin Mahone and Selena Gomez are nothing new. The two have been seen snapping pictures together and even hit up Disneyland in the past, but could there be a future relationship with these two or are they forever friends?

When Austin EXCLUSIVELY talked to J-14.com, he gave us the scoop on Selena, saying they're just friends — well, right now at least.

"Right now we're just friends. I've hung out with her a couple times — she was in Miami for her show, so she invited me out to come watch it. It was incredible — she killed the show," Austin told J-14.com. "It's good to have somebody to talk to about the industry. I ask her about songs and advice about other things. She's just a cool person."

They might be friends right now, but who knows what could happen in the future — Austin seems to leave the option pretty open! Since he continues to tell us about how dating another celeb could be a good thing with the reasoning behind it being exactly what he described his friendship with Selena like, maybe these two should give it a go!

"The bad about dating another celeb is you probably wouldn't see each other that much because you're both really busy traveling and doing all this other stuff, but what's good about it is you can talk to them about what's going on and you have someone you can relate to about the industry and you have someone who can help you through it in case you're going through a tough time," Austin spilled.

Since Austin told us his relationship with Camila Cabello from Fifth Harmony was a total rumor, and since Sel is so done with Justin Bieber, maybe Austin has a chance after all!
