overshadows it': Selena Gomez takes a swipe at ex Justin Bieber as she stuns in midriff-baring outfit on Vogue cover
Her relationship with 'bad boy' Justin Bieber consistently made headlines throughout their four-year romance.
And in the latest edition of Vogue Australia, for which she is the latest cover girl, Selena Gomez took a swipe at her ex-boyfriend.
Speaking
to the publication, the 24-year-old pop star revealed that she once
struggled to be taken seriously as an artist because her 'private life
was the most talked about thing.'

Honest: Selena Gomez took a swipe at
her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber as she stunned in a Louis Vuitton
ensemble on the front cover of Vogue Australia
'Nobody
really knows everything and they can only assume,' she said, adding:
'You want to do what you love but all this other stuff overshadows it so
it makes it a little harder for people to take me seriously.'
The
Can't Keep My Hands To Myself singer added that she later realised that
the scrutiny surrounding her and Bieber, who she was romantically linked
to from 2011 to 2015, was only 'temporary.'
'I feel like that fortunately and unfortunately it’s where my life is at the moment and I have to accept it,' she said.

it was hard adjusting to the spotlight when her 'private life was the

The Daily Telegraph previously reported that Selena also told the magazine that she's looking for a more 'low-key' relationship.
'The
guys that do have the confidence to hit on me are not necessarily my
type ... I’d be so stoked with a writer or producer or actor who is
low-key, but those kind of guys are terrified of me!' she said.
Selena flew to Australia on Friday for several tour dates and she performed her first show in Melbourne on Saturday.

On
the Vogue cover, the Texan beauty, whose parents are of Mexican and
Italian descent, sizzles in a colourful midriff-baring look.
While leaning back in an armchair, Selena positioned her lower body to one side, while gazing directly at the camera lens.
During her shoot, the former child star posed on an untidy bed while dressed in a pink and grey long-sleeve gown.
