Maria Canala confirms Gomez-Bieber romance

LONDON - Actress Selena Gomez’s onscreen mother Maria Canala-Barrera has confirmed the teenager’s romance with pop star Justin Bieber.

Canals-Barrera, who stars alongside Gomez in the TV show Wizards of Waverly Place, has commented on the relationship saying she approves of the match.

“He’s very sweet. I’ve met him a few times. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be for two superstars like that to actually have a budding romance, but I wish them the very best. From what I have seen so far, he’s a nice young man,” dailystar.co.uk quoted her as saying.

“They probably have a lot in common because they come from a regular life and were discovered young to have special talent and passion for singing and acting. And they became superstars at a very young age, both of them,” she added.
