Selena Gomez still loves her ex-beau

LOS ANGELES - Actress Selena Gomez has happily moved on after her split with singer Nick Jonas, and says she is content with her single status.

“I’m very, very glad that all of that’s in the past and that I can move forward. It’s very difficult, but… I love him, he’s great,” Selena was quoted as saying about her former beau by aceshowbiz.com.

Before dating Jonas, the 18-year-old was romantically involved with “Twilight” actor Taylor Lautner. However, ever since her split from the former lover earlier this year, she has been single.

“I’m not looking. I’m very happily single and enjoying being 18 and just think boys are kind of not an option at the moment, because I’m kind of really busy,” she said.

Further justifying her single status, she added: “But that’s okay. I think boys give me a little bit of a headache.”
