Hey, the world may be on fire and ending all around us, but at least Selena Gomez is here to play up to the paps and distract us from it all.

Yes existence as we know it may be slowly coming to an end but Selena Gomez and Abel Tesfaye are making sure you have something to look at and talk about as they got papped coming out of a restaurant in Los Angeles last night, with Gomez going heavy on the petting for all to see.

TMZ has a gallery of 46 photos of the pair as they left Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles and, for all intents and purposes, it looks like the two are an item.

If you're wondering where this fits into the tapestry of Hollywood romance/inbreeding, Abel used to date Bella Hadid, sister of Gomez's friend Gigi, and of course Selena dated Justin Bieber, who has appeared pally with The Weeknd in the past.

Whether they're all still peachy after this is another story. Not that it matters with the coming apocalypse.
