They’ve Grown Up
“Selena and Justin both feel like they have taken time apart and dated enough and are back together for the long haul,” says a source. “They are ready to be together forever.”
friends for bridesmaids.” Selena’s dream may come true times two. While she wants the ceremony to take place in her native Texas, Justin is aiming to walk down the aisle in LA, says the source, “so they might do one of each!”
A SPECIAL GUEST?
Selena may need to wait on getting her wedding dress, though. “She could
be pregnant already,” says the source, noting that the star hasn’t been drinking. “And if she is pregnant, she will be over the moon.”
Selena and Justin, who were often photographed doting on his younger siblings when they dated on and off from 2009 to 2014, have even been happily discussing baby names. “They both say they want a little girl,” shares the insider. “Names they’re playing with are Eva or Ava, Marie, Harlow and Stella.” Selena is also considering Francia, notes the source, after her pal Francia Raisa, 29, who donated a kidney to Selena. And if they have a boy? Selena “loves the name Jacob,” says the source. “She knows she wants a ‘J’ name that will fit per- fectly with Justin. She has always wanted children with Justin.”
Yes, children — as in more than one. “Selena’s family plan was always to marry in her mid-20s and start having children soon after,” says the insider. “She’s always said she wanted to be a young mom.” Justin’s also proclaimed that he wants “to be a young dad.” And
Carl, author of the recently released Own the Moment ( which tells how he came to lead Hillsong and offers tips on how to stay connected to faith in the modern world), thinks his pal is a natural for the role. “He will be a phenomenal, amazing father,” raves the pas- tor, “because being a father is about care and about trust and about investment and commitment, and he’s great at all those things.”
MOVING FAST
Selena’s family isn’t feeling as positive about Justin. Long before Justin began to rededicate himself to the church, he made Selena miserable with his penchant for partying and other women. “Her family knows she is planning a life with Justin and they are devastated,” says the source, noting that they view the coupling as toxic. “They want Selena to remain healthy and feel this could be the biggest mistake of her life.”
But their wariness of Justin isn’t the only concern family members have. “After her kidney transplant, she really needs to focus on herself and her own health,” says the source.
Besides, the star just got out of another relationship. She and singer The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye), 27, broke up in October after 10 months together. Though she and Justin went public with their renewed relationship right away, Selena isn’t really worried about her ex’s feelings. “All she cares about,” says the source, “is her love for Justin and their future.”
LOVE WINS
Justin’s on the same page. “He has grown up, he’s a changed man,” insists the insider. “He really wants this relationship to work.” For Justin, Selena’s health scare, which she termed a “life or death” situation, was a wake-up call. Life, he now realizes, is too short. “The moment Justin realized he could lose her, he was sure he wanted to be with her for the rest of their lives,” says the source. “The idea of never seeing Selena again made him realize he wanted her forever.”
“I definitely want to be married by 25.” — Justin, who turns 24 on March 1, has said
