Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up months ago. However, the former couple dined together on Thursday evening in Los Angeles.
TMZ reports the twosome had dinner at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, then left in the same car and drove to a West Hollywood hotel. The website published a photo of the pair from the evening.
Multiple witnesses also spotted the two stars out together and tweeted details. Inevitably, some young fan s who seem unaware the end of a romance doesn’t necessarily mean the end of a friendship, are confused.
According to eyewitnesses identified on Twitter as @Stalker Sarah and @ItsMandizzle , Justin, 20, picked up Selena, 22, and took her to dinner. After their steakhouse meal, the Biebs was seen dropping the starlet to the hotel where she got into a friend’s car.
Among her many tweets, Sarah claimed paparazzi filmed the pair arriving and leaving the restaurant, so it’s possible more pics and video will surface later today.

So Justin picked Selena up and they had dinner together and he just dropped her back off. Plot twist people.

@Stalker Sarah also noted that Justin and Selena seemed to be good friends during their interaction, which is in sync with many statements the starlet has made in interviews since their split.
However, @ItsMandizzle thought the actress-singer “didn’t seem happy” as she walked to her pal’s car after Justin dropped her off. There could be any number of reasons for that.

It was also noted that the “Confident” singer dined with model pal Kendall Jenner at La Scala restaurant in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

Despite some fans ranting over why Justin and Selena met up last night, the reality is they have been friends for years and will no doubt continue to be pals, despite Gomez’s reveal of her heartbreak over their ended romance in her latest single “The Heart Wants What It Wants.”
The pop princess is rumored to be in a new relationship with the producer DJ Zedd , after they were seen holding hands at Golden Globes after parties last Sunday. Meanwhile, the Biebs has repeatedly stated he is single, although he has spent a lot of time recently with longtime pal, model Hailey Baldwin.
As one fan tweeted, amid the still continuing flurry of Beliebers, Jelenators and Selenators commenting online,
Yall do know that it is possible to be friends with an ex right…? Especially one that you’ve been with for 4+ plus years.

Another added,
I think it’s cool that they can still hang out with each other regardless of their personal situations – it’s mature.

Interestingly, when asked for her opinion as to whether Zedd and Selena were dating, @Stalker Sarah replied,
Friendship RT @marieperfe : @SarahMOnline Do you think That Zedd and Selena are in relationship or friendship?
— Stalker Sarah (@SarahMOnline) January 16, 2015
Obviously, the details of whatever Justin and Selena talked about during their one-on-one dinner date are not known, and it’s entirely possible they met up to talk about the ongoing legal cases the Biebs is involved with which the Latina may have to give evidence in as a witness.
No doubt, gossip sites like Hollywood Life and others will claim to know “exclusive!” details about what the pair talked about during their dinner date, and speculate that it is all part of some love triangle dynamic . Intelligent fans will know such claims are guesswork.
Bottom line? Justin and Selena communicate and most likely always will, because they’re friends with years of history between them.
