The pop brat is said to have told a pal about the first time they had steamy romp, with a trip to Palm Springs, California, set up for that exact purpose.

And he apparently confessed to the trip with 21-year-old Gomez “with no embarrassment or shyness whatsoever”.

The pal revealed: “It was in the summer of 2011. They flew to Palm Springs for a couple days and had a super private place to stay.

“The purpose of the trip was 100 per cent because Selena finally said ‘yes’ to “steamy romp” with him.

“They agreed because they both said they were in love.”

The source added to RadarOnline: “Justin told me, ‘I knew she was in love with me when she gave me her v.ir.gin.ity.’

“He said it with no embarrassment or shyness whatsoever.”

The couple began dating in December 2010, and split up two years later.

They later briefly got back together but split for a second time in January last year.

Despite their break-up, the two have remained close, and were recently pictured hanging out together near 19-year-old Bieber’s Calabasas mansion.
