'Love em!' Selena Gomez cuddles up to Samuel Krost on night out after reports she's dating Charlie Puth

While it was recently reported that she's started dating collaborator Charlie Puth, Selena Gomez spent Thursday partying with another handsome young man.

The 23-year-old took to Instagram to share a snap alongside rumored love Samuel Krost - as well as two female friends - captioning it: 'Love em.'

She could be seen making a kissy face in the photo, as she draped an arm around a smiling Samuel.

Selena kicked her leg up in one of the photos, showing off a pair of daring, black leather thigh-high boots.

She covered her taut figure with an orange dress which was baggy in style and had a thigh-split on one side.

The singer's long, brunette tresses were styled straight, and she accessorized for a low-key look with a navy NY baseball cap on top of her head.

Samuel also showed off a low-key style, sporting a black, short-sleeved T-shirt with a pair of coordinating trousers.

Tactile display: Selena could be seen holding onto Samuel's hand as she left the club  

She was later spotted being led out of The Roxy music venue in Los Angeles by Samuel, who held Selena's hand as he led the way. 

The outing comes after Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share his mood after it was reported that Selena had moved on with Charlie.   

In one post he put up a quote about letting go of things 'not meant for you' and in another he looked morose as he took a shirtless selfie.

Ready to go: Selena kept her head down as she was spotted leaving in her stiletto, thigh-high black boots 

'In the end only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you,' the 22-year-old pop singer posted.

On Thursday he showed off his tattooed physique.

'My body looks like eyes nose and mouth,' Bieber captioned the snapshot marking his chest feature similarities to his facial ones.

According to a Wednesday report from Us Weekly, the Hands To Myself hit maker has been romancing Puth.

'She's super into him,' a source told the site. 

During her Anaheim concert on July 9, the 24-year-old Puth will serve as the opening act for her show. Her tour kicks off in May. 

'I don't know if anyone really understands me, which is why I hang out with Selena Gomez. She gets me,' Charlie told the publication back in November.

Gomez, 23, and Puth first met last August at an MTV Video Music Awards party and the pair later recorded We Don't Talk Anymore together.

The following month Charlie posted a humorous Instagram snapshot of the twosome sticking their tongues out for the camera.

He captioned the image: 'The realest and most down to earth person I know. good to know you @selenagomez your album is going to be incredible!'

But before Justin learned of Selena's new romance, he was still vying for her attention and the insider said he 'wants her back.'

'He'd love to be with her but she won't go for it,' the source revealed.

The Grammy winner made his advances clear earlier this month as he posted a sweet throwback of the pair sharing a tender kiss.

Justin summed the snapshot with a single word: 'feels.'

The gesture certainly caught the attention of Gomez, who was among the 838,046 people to leave a comment, hers reading just: 'Perfect.'

But despite the insider's comments, Gomez was spotted among the crowd at Bieber's concert last week.

News of Selena at the concert was confirmed when one fan named Cassandra Snapchatted the Hands To Myself singer, who had landed an enviable seat in the sound mixers area.

The two celebrities dated from late 2010 to mid-2014 before going their separate ways as the What Do You Mean singer began to embrace a new bad boy image.
