'Stay The Night' sensation Zedd has revealed that his relationship with Selena Gomez made him feel strange because suddenly everyone was interested in his private life. 

Speaking to Billboard about his romance with Gomez and how it ended up being the focus of his public persona, the DJ confessed that it came as a shock because prior to that his personal life was rarely mentioned in the press:

"I don't think I've ever been in the press in my life for anything but my music, and I've appreciated that a lot. I've never had any scandals and I've never done anything bad, and everyone only talked about my music. I liked that - that's how I want it to be. Then, out of nowhere, suddenly people started talking about things that had nothing to do with my music. I was like, 'Wait, we've got a song. Why don't you talk about that song?' It took me a really long time to do this."

Zedd went onto add that the gossip about his relationship with Gomez was nothing but a 'distraction' and he wasn't comfortable with how it took over everything about his career as a DJ and producer:

"My dad would text me something like, 'Hey, have you seen this?' At that point it (the romance news) went over four stations and four languages and turned into something completely different. I'm like, 'Dad, if I tell you something, that's what it is, and just don't believe anything you read online'."
