Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner reportedly embarked on a "forbidden flirt-a-thon" after his latest split from fellow musician Selena Gomez.

Years after the Hollywood stars were first linked to one another, a new report has surfaced which suggests that Bieber and Jenner could be ready to give their potential feelings for one another a real chance.

“At first it started as flirty text exchanges between buddies but it could turn into something more,” a source told Radar Online on March 22. 

As the report revealed, Bieber and Jenner have been friends for a number of years and hang out with a lot of the same people. Jenner has also reportedly been known to have a crush on Bieber, and when it comes to the singer, he allegedly finds Jenner to be quite "beautiful.”

While things between Bieber and Jenner have never been confirmed as romantic, the Radar Online insider said that Jenner may be ready to try out a romance with Bieber because he's become much calmer recently. 

“He’s grown up a lot and he’s gotten his act together, and she likes that,” the source said.

Bieber used to be known for his wild ways but after finding God and focusing on his faith with Pastor Carl Lentz and the Hillsong Church in Los Angeles, he seems to be a new man. That said, he reportedly hasn't been able to make his relationship with Gomez work -- for the umpteenth time they've tried.

Just months into their reunion, Bieber and Gomez reportedly chose to cool off their romance and take a break from one another. As Radar Online explained, Gomez felt as if Bieber was constantly smothering her and couldn't handle his ongoing questions. 

Apparently, Bieber began forcing himself back into Gomez's life after she underwent a kidney transplant in 2017. However, months later, as Gomez continues to focus on her career, she simply doesn't have time to worry about Bieber. 

Following their reported split, Gomez traveled to Texas before vacationing in Australia with friends. Meanwhile, Bieber was recently spotted hanging out with Baskin Champion, the sister of Patrick Schwarzenegger‘s girlfriend. That said, sources have claimed Bieber did so only to make Gomez jealous.
