The news was shared by a Twitter user called 'Chris Piro', who tweeted saying that Butler and Gomez are a "weird couple man". When asked for a source, they asked people to trust them, saying they saw the two of them with their own eyes. A text screenshot was also shared, which provided more details about the possible date.

The messages added that they were seen together at the 'Lucien'. The source clarified that it cannot be said if it was a date or not, but the two were definitely together. The person texting expressed concern over the news, thinking about how Gomez's fans can get. While NBA fans reacted to the news as well, some of Gomez's fans were unhappy, going as far to call the NBA star 'ugly'. 

Most fans refused to believe the situation completely owing to the lack of photos, which fails to confirm the source many claim was 'unreliable'. "Jimmy Butler went to the finals and bagged Selena Gomez in the same year. 2020 MVP," one fan wrote. Another fan spoke about the NBA rumours being shared, and how they are only concerned about finding out if Butler and Gomez are dating.
