Selena Gomez has joked she made Justin Bieber cry when they split up.

The 20-year-old actress and Justin, 19, went their separate ways in January after two years together and while the Spring Breakers star feels "good" about being single, her pop star ex-boyfriend may not share her positive mood.

Appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, the host said: "Last time you were here, you were with a Justin Bieber. That's not going on now."

Selena replied: "No, I'm single. I'm so good."

The presenter went on to claim he had upset Justin to the point of making him cry the last time he had appeared on the show, prompting Selena to reply: "Well then, that makes two of us."

It was recently claimed Selena is keen to date an older man following her split from 19-year-old Justin.

A source said: "Selena is looking to date an older man this time. She finally sees how toxic it was to date a toddler like Justin.

"Selena is doing really well and feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders now that Justin is out of the picture. She finds Justin to be embarrassing since their breakup. He's turned into exactly the kind of person she'd never want to be with."
