Apparently, there’s a limit to the opportunities that come from being the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs.

For example, it can’t buy Eve Jobs a happy love life, at least not at the moment. The 24-year-old model recently broke up with Drew Taggart, and the Chainsmokers DJ has already started a romance with Selena Gomez, an even more famous celebrity who happens to share his musical interests, Us Weekly reported.

This news about Taggart and Gomez, which came via Us Weekly on Monday, apparently prompted Jobs to deactivate her Instagram account, just a few weeks after she posted a tribute to Taggart in December, celebrating his 33rd birthday, Page Six said. She gushed in a caption,  “Happy birthday lover.”

Jobs, an accomplished equestrian whose mother is Laurene Powell Jobs, and Taggart reportedly started what Us Weekly described as a “casual summer fling” last year. The romance supposedly fizzled by the end of the year, though Us Weekly said the split was “totally amicable.”

Gomez will put her quarantine cooking skills on display in a 10-episode series for the upcoming streaming service HBO Max. After an angry mob of President Donald Trump supporters took control of the U.S. Capitol in a violent insurrection, Gomez laid much of the blame at the feet of Big Tech. It's the latest effort by the 28-year-old actress-singer to draw attention to the danger of internet companies critics say have profited from misinformation and hate on their platforms..

Still, it must be disconcerting for Jobs to have her private life caught up in the maw of celebrity news, especially as Taggart and Gomez, 30, started their romance so quickly and are not “trying to hide” it, a source told Us Weekly.

Gomez is “so affectionate” with Taggart and “can hardly keep her hands off him,” the source also said. Still, the two are trying to keep the relationship “very casual and low-key” while they are “having lots of fun together.”

Gomez’s love life has been the subject of celebrity gossip for years. The singer has experienced her shares of high and lows when it comes to her love life, particularly her high-profile, on-off romance with Justin Bieber from 2011 to 2018. On one of her breaks from Bieber, she dated The Weeknd for nine months in 2017. She’s also been linked to Niall Horan, Zedd and Charlie Puth.

“I feel like giving myself completely to something is the best way I can love,” Gomez said in an interview in November for Jay Shetty‘s “On Purpose” podcast. “But I never wanted the pain that I endured to put some sort of guard on myself — an armor if you will — and I never let that happen because I still believe and I still hope. … I would rather continue to get my heart broken than to not feel at all.”

Eve Jobs previously dated singer-songwriter Harry Hudson, who’s pals of Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith.
