Selena Gomez sparked wild speculation about her sexuality when she was seen puckering up to her chum Cara Delevingne at a basketball game in November.
Now, the actress, 29, has said she and Cara decided to get matching rosebud tattoos because the bisexual model had made such a profound impact on her life.
Selena explained she's got 'multiple' tattoos with 'people who've left a significant mark on [her] life'.
'She left a mark on my life': Selena Gomez has explained the reason behind the matching tattoos she got inked with close friend Cara Delevingne last month (pictured in 2014)
Speaking on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Selena explained: 'It means a couple of different things, Me and Cara, one of my best friends that I’ve known for — I was maybe 16 when I met her — she calls me Rosebud.
'So, it’s a nickname and I’ve always wanted a rose. Now, I got one and I love it.'
She added: 'I have, actually, multiple tattoos with people who have honestly left a significant mark on my life'
Last month, Cara and Selena showed off their matching watercolour rose tattoos by celebrated artist Bang Bang.
