Barbara Palvin has blamed Selena Gomez for starting rumours linking her to Justin Bieber.

The Victoria's Secret model was immediately associated with the 'Believe' star after his girlfriend Gomez retweeted a picture of the pair on Twitter along with the caption '...'.

The duo were also pictured at a Victoria's Secret show last year - but Palvin insists nothing happened. She said:

"You know how the drama started? Selena re-tweeted the picture."

The beauty continued: "I'm okay to talk about it because I know there's nothing. I wanted to meet him real bad. I watched his movie [Never Say Never] and I was like: 'He's such a cool kid, I want to meet him'. And then when I did at the Victoria's Secret show we met and of course we had a conversation and then I took the picture with him."

Tabloid media, however, have reported in the past few weeks that Bieber and Gomez are no longer together, but no official confirmation has been issued.
