Justin Bieber, Ashley Moore Dating: Selena Gomez Replaced By A Model?

Justin Bieber chose to have a pre-birthday celebration with model Ashey Moore. The model, who he calls a "friend", was seen cozying up to Selena Gomez's ex and showing a bit of PDA during a rocky canyon hike in Los Angeles.

This was not the first time that the "Sorry" singer was spotted with Moore. Two years ago, the leggy beauty hung out with Bieber during a Los Angeles Clippers basketball game. The couple was seen getting flirty with each other to a point where Bieber was seen hugging her close to his chest and even planting a kiss on her forehead.

However, before rumors could spread like wildfire about the two of them being romantically involved, Bieber clarified to the media that they were nothing more than just good friends. From the looks of the present scenario, his previous explanation might not hold true.

Moore, dressed in black Nike sports bra and tight leggings, showing off her perfectly toned abs, was seen playfully challenging Bieber to a race to the rocky canyon, reports Mail Online. Even though the outing mimicked a workout routine, Bieber was seen caressing Moore's hands at one point.

"If there's one thing we know about Bieber ... he tends to open up in the wilderness. Bodes well for Ashley. Plus they've hung out before - couple years ago at a Clippers game - so, seems like they've got a connection," Celebuzz reports.

It is unclear whether Bieber has actually moved on from his previous relationship with Gomez or is he deliberately hanging around beautiful models just to make his ex-flame jealous. The "Same Old Love" singer, on the other hand, is completely over Bieber, as she is in a steady relationship with The Weeknd, who, incidentally, is the ex-boyfriend of Bella Hadid.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had started dating in 2011 and temporarily broke it off in 2012. They got back together in 2013 and continued their relationship till October 2014, where they officially declared that they had broken up for good. Bieber has not entered into any serious relationship since then, even though he has been spotted with multiple women at various times.

Even though "Jelena" fans still want Bieber and Gomez to get back together, it does not seem likely that their wish is going to come true anytime soon. Should they start figuring out a couple name for Bieber and Moore instead?
