Lately Selena Gomez has been rocking a gold band on her ring finger leading many people to speculate whether she and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber was engaged. According to Hollywood Life, the gold band is not an engagement ring but is a special gift Bieber got for her.
A source told the site that Bieber wants to prove to Gomez that he is serious about their relationship. The two rekindled their romance a few months ago and have been pretty much inseparable ever since.
"The ring was a gift from Justin, it's not an engagement ring, but they are back on and very serious," a source told Hollywood Life.
The 21-year-old has been spotted several times wearing her new piece of jewelry. Even though she loves the ring and what it symbolizes, Hollywood Life reports that her family is not crazy about it and are afraid Bieber and Gomez may secretly get married.
"Her family is extremely worried that she'll do something crazy like elope with him," the source said. "Selena is totally wrapped back up in Justin, it's the same pattern happening all over again."
"She's telling everyone that she's fine, that they're all overreacting but that's not making anyone feel better about this," the source added. "The problem is no one wants to alienate her. She's an adult now, it's not like her parents can tell her what to do, so it's a very delicate situation."
The source went on to say that Gomez's family and friends are not happy that she is dating the 20-year-old pop star again. Reportedly they want to stage an intervention "to get her away from him" but they fear that it would only push her closer to Bieber.
"Until he screws up again there's not much that anyone can do," the source said.
