Singer Justin Bieber feels Selena Gomez is his "soulmate", and he "hates" being apart from the actress since he split from her late last year.

"For him, they weren't just in love, they were soulmates, and he hates when he can't have her in his life," said a source.

The "Baby" hitmaker has been spotted spending time with model Hailey Baldwin and reality TV star Kendall Jenner in recent months, sparking rumours of flings with both girls. However, the source insists Gomez is still the apple of Bieber's eye.

"Despite things with Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin, Justin has always held a torch for Selena," the source told HollywoodLife.com, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
