Selena was on the Ellen Degeneres Show today and was teased about her secret boyfriend when Ellen played a clip of her comments about him from the past. The Disney starlet was seen saying in defense of the romance rumors a while back (via Us magazine): "He's like my little brother. That's weird to me."

When Ellen turned to her for an explanation, Selena was pretty defenseless. She said: "Don't take me to jail! I don't know! I don't know." Poor girl!

The talk show host continued: "Now you've made [the relationship] public," DeGeneres pointed out. "[You've] made me a fool."

"No, I really didn't...He's just sweet!" was Selena's response.

Of course, Ellen had to keeping poking fun at the starlet: "He's not like your little brother, is he? No, he's not. And he's a fantastic guy. You can't try to hide that forever. I know you all were sneaking around but that's crazy. You're both huge stars and you can't hide from us!" she said.

Selena simply replied: "I didn't lie to you. I didn't though. I'll say that."

"No, you didn't blatantly lie," DeGeneres said. "[But] a little brother is not someone you want to date."

"Well, no," Gomez replied. "That would be weird."
