He’ only 17 but smitten teenager Justin Bieber has already gushed the ‘L’ word to girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Despite deeming himself a bit of ladies man, the ‘Baby’ hitmaker has admittedly fallen head over heels for the talented Selena.

While the young couple have only been dating since March, it looks as though all is rosy in the land of love…

When quized if he was ‘in love’ with Selena, the popstar loudly responded with: “I wouldn’t be with somebody if I wasn’t in love.”

Justin doesn’t mind being a bit of a toyboy in the budding relationship and confessed his is attracted to the 19-year-old beauty because she is ‘hot’ – sophisticated. However, the mini superstar also insists they share a connection because of their similar family backgrounds. (What about personality, interests, hobbies, opinions anything else?)

He explained: “Everybody can see she is hot and that’s great, but there is so much more to her than that. She makes me laugh and she puts up with my practical jokes. She has really strong family values as well. We were both raised by our moms in single-parent households, and that’s given us a lot of the same family values in life.”

Although the four-by-four of love seems to be driving pretty smoothly along the road of romance, Justin has squashed any rumours that the pair are moving in together.

He told new! mag: “At the moment we’re so busy, it’s pretty much hotel rooms for me for most of the year. She could be in one part of the world and I could be in the other. We are just a young couple who are enjoying spending time with each other . But we both took time off last month and it was just really cool to be able to spend time together and just do normal things like go to the beach and have dinner together.”
