He's best friends with her ex.

So it may raise a few eyebrows to see Justin Bieber's BFF Alfred Flores walking arm and arm with Selena Gomez.

But Justin needn't worry, as the 25-year-old video editor was simply being a gentleman.

Despite first appearances, it seems Flores was merely walking the 20-year-old Disney star to her car after a late night on Sunday.

The two were with a party of friends who had attended the Warner Music Group/In Style 2013 after party at the Chateau Marmont in LA.

It's not the first time the sight of Gomez and Flores together have caused tongues to wag.

They were pictured together this summer at Ashley Tisdale's 27th birthday bash in Malibu, Ca. Selena and Flores were there with tons of other pals while Justin was home sick.

But it was confirmed their relationship is merely platonic.

Alfred is known as a director and editor and Bieber's best friends. He's typically beside his buddy at awards shows. But since Bieber was not nominated for any Grammy awards, the 18-year-old wasn't in attendance.

Instead, the Baby singer sent a video of himself to fans while on vacation with his family.

Selena had a New Year's bust up with Bieber in Mexico, the final nail in the coffin for the hot teen power couple. It's been reported the Spring Breakers star is said to now be interested in dating an older man.

'Everyone reminds her that she has been saying she wanted to date someone older for a long time,' a friend of the singer and actress told HollywoodLife.com.
