Selena Gomez 'Brave' Instagram Photo Garners Nearly 1 Million Likes
Selena Gomez recently described herself as "brave" in a post on Instagram amid reports that she is back on with Justin Bieber.
The former Disney star, 21, shared a bikini shot with her 9 million followers on the social networking site.
"Soy valiente," Gomez captioned alongside the photo.
Soy valiente is Spanish for "I am brave" and Gomez is seen sporting braided pigtails in the photo and wearing a bright orange swim suit. The photo garnered close to 1 million likes.
It is unclear what inspired the post however some fans were quick to link the message to Gomez's on-again romance with Bieber, 20.
The pair, who have dated on and off since 2011, split in April and reconciled in recent weeks. They have enjoyed a series of romantic dates in recent days, including a trip to the movies and a zoo outing, which for many fans is confirmation that they are working on their relationship.
"They were very affectionate with each other and they held hands throughout the day," a source told E! about the pair's zoo date in Los Angeles on Sunday.
On Friday, they enjoyed a dinner date at Hollywood hot spot Mastro's followed by a viewing of "Think Like a Man Too" at the Westfield Century City mall theater in Los Angeles.
"Justin's extremely doting on her, and there hasn't been one second where he hasn't been touchy-feely and sweet with her," a source told people.com. "They're pretty inseparable and very affectionate."
In a more recent Instagram post the "Come & Get it" singer complained about sinus problems. On Tuesday, she shared a photo which appeared to be taken from a doctor's office.
"Fabulously/intensely dealing with sinus problems. Clearly. #blamethe70sflarepants," Gomez captioned alongside the photo.
The actress was pictured wearing a denim jacket paired with grey crop top, white pants and aviator sunglasses.
