Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra’s husband caught chatting up ‘old flame’ Selena Gomez, both have intimate gestures with each other at post-VMA party as brother Joe Jonas plays DJ set

He was her first love years before she started dating Justin Bieber.

And Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez were looking very cosy as they chatted together at a post-VMA party where his brother Joe was playing a DJ set in West Hollywood on Sunday.

He was caught talking into the giggling former Disney kid’s ear as they enjoyed the smooth tunes spilling from his sibling’s turntables at popular nightspot Ysabel.

Skinhead Nick looked quite the little tough guy as he puffed on a cigar in between whispering sweet nothings into his old flame’s ear.

His 23-year-old single ex, whom he dated from 2008 until 2010, seemed to be lapping up the attention, and was caught giggling by the event photographers.

Conveniently enough the Levels singer split from saucy model Olivia Culpo in June, and has since been romantically linked to the likes of Kendall Jenner

Talking about how he found single life this month, he said: ‘It’s still an adjustment, getting use to my life on my own is an interesting thing.

Awkward: Nick did not look amused when his brother Joe butted in to offer Selena a warm handshake

‘I’m in a good place of being young and grow and do what I need to do right now.’

And last month he hinted he might be getting close to Selena again when he said it was ‘nice to reconnect’ with his former flame when they ran into each other and then went for dinner.

The Jonas Brothers favourite had dressed to impress, and was wearing a denim and leather jacket, jeans and shoes.

Selena meanwhile looked ravishing in a skimpy black minidress and stacked heels,

The Wizards of Waverly Place starlet also looked like she was having a ball as she was smooched by her pal Taylor Swift at the party as fellow members of their clique, including Hailee Steinfeld and Serayah McNeill, watched with delight

However the self-styled ‘squad’ of ‘musicians, actresses, models, entrepreneurs’ has been mocked by Miley Cyrus, who said she would rather hang out with ‘real’ people who can inspire her.

The Hannah Montana star said: ‘I’m not trying to be in the squad.

‘None of my friends are famous and not because of any other reason than I just like real people who are living real lives, because I’m inspired by them.’

Shameless Swift likes nothing more than posting Instagram photos of herself with her group of famous friends, which even includes the likes of roly poly Girls creator Lena Dunham.
