You might expect Bieber and Gomez to begin their relationship with a “bang.” Instead, it seems like an unromantic beginning: in 2009, Bieber’s manager contacted Gomez’s manager saying he wanted to meet her. Bieber was just 15 and Gomez was just 17 at the time.

They first publicly hung out together in 2010 at an IHOP in Philly in a classic “is this or is this not a date” situation. Gomez denied they were dating or that she had anything other than sisterly feelings for him. But eventually, they went both official and glitzy when they premiered as a couple at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscars party. And there was nothing “sisterly” about the affection Gomez showed him, as their photo booth pics proved.
