Zedd got a taste of the dark side of fame when he briefly dated Selena Gomez in 2015. The 27-year-old record producer covers the latest issue of Billboard magazine, and opens up for the first time about his relationship with the 25-year-old singer, admitting that it wasn't easy to be with someone who was so in the public eye. He said, "Reporters were calling my parents. People were hacking my friends? phones. I was pissed." Zedd adds that he did half expected something like that would happen when he started dating Gomez.
