Despite the rumors going around, Austin Mahone, 17, and Selena Gomez, 21, are not dating. “We’re just friends,” Mahone says. “She’s really cool…I mean, I think she’s really pretty but every time I’m in L.A., she’s like, ‘Hey, you’re in L.A., lets hang out,’” he added at the Aquafina FlavorSplash press conference this Wednesday. “So it’s cool.” An industry insider, having worked with both of the teen stars, claims that though they are not dating, Mahone and Gomez certainly have a special connection. “They’ve been hanging out over the last few months,” the source tells People. “They have a lot of respect for each other.”
