The 26-year-old musician - whose real name is Abel Tesfaye - set tongues wagging he was dating the 24-year-old songstress last month, and the pair are rumoured to be getting even closer as he regularly tells the brunette beauty how much he "cares" for her.

Speaking about the 'Starboy' hitmaker's love life, a source told E! News: "They are falling for each other.

"[He] has told [Selena] how much he cares for her."

And the couple share a "crazy connection" and enjoy each others company, especially The Weeknd who is "proud" to have Selena in his life.

The source explained: "[They have a ] crazy connection.

"[Selena] feel really confident. Abel is proud to have Selena by his side."

And the publication has reported the 'Kill Em With Kindness' hitmaker has introduced the vocalist to her friends, and vice versa.

However, it is claimed the former Disney actress - who played the role of Alex Russo in the series 'Wizards of Waverly Place' - has yet to bring The Weeknd home to meet her family, and neither has he.

And the duo have been talking "every day" since they were spotted locking lips earlier this year and have a "sexy and flirty relationship".

A source previously said: "He really likes her. They text every day. They have a really sexy and flirty relationship. They laugh and like each others personalities."

And whilst it seems things are quickly heating up between the pair, sources insist they are "just having fun" for the time being and aren't getting too serious.

The insider added: "As of now, they are just having fun and enjoying each other."

However, Selena - who has previously dated Justin Bieber - has been described as being a "passionate" person who becomes obsessed with things "real fast".

A source said: "She is happy and doesn't mind sharing that with the world.

"Abel makes her feel secure and Selena has nothing to hide. Selena gets passionate about things real fast and that is exactly what she is doing with The Weeknd."
