Selena Gomez 'holds hands' with former co-star Luke Bracey following split with Justin Bieber
She may have just split from the world's most sought after teen.
But newly single Selena Gomez is not wasting anytime with moving on.
After reportedly flirting with Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson at a Golden Globes after party last Sunday night, the 22-year-old Disney star was also apparently getting very close to former co-star, Australian hunk Luke Bracey, the same night.

Causing more drama: Following her split with Bieber, Selena retweeted a photo of her ex with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin
Fans will be relieved to see Selena has some solid female friends to call upon during this tricky time.
Not true: Palvin has repeatedly denied that there is anything going on between her and Bieber
And one friend in particular seems have inspired her to exercise some hurt in the studio.
Selena has apparently been channeling some of the anger she feels for her ex-boyfriend through the medium of music, perhaps on the advice of her friend Taylor Swift.
A source told Hollywood Life that fans might be surprised that Selena has a harsh streak.
They told the website: 'Justin was so mean to Selena that she can’t wait to spill all the s**t about him in her new songs.
'All his flirting and all his…bulls**t are on the table. Her fans will be shocked about how much of a bada** she can be when she’s out for revenge.'
Selena split from Bieber only a few weeks ago..
The final nail in the coffin came while they were in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico celebrating the New Year where the pair got into a row over Justin still seeing Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin.
'They had another huge fight, and Selena won't forgive him,' a source told Us Weekly.
Justin, on the other hand, saw his name linked with Palvin's once again after the beautiful supermodel insisted there was nothing between them.
The 19-year-old model became a target for fans of Justin and Selena after the Disney cutie angrily posted an image of her beau with the model.
'You know how the drama started — Selena retweeted the picture,' Barbara told Celebuzz. 'I’m okay to talk about it because I know there’s nothing. It’s ridiculous how this got to the news.'
Barbara added that she was just 'hanging out' with the Baby singer during a fashion show last fall.
'That was it . . . that’s why it was so weird. They thought I caused a big drama, their break-up.'
The two also fanned the rumour flames when they went to see The Lion King on Broadway the night after the fashion show.
