Selena Gomez is taking a trip down memory lane with a playful nod to her ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas. The pop icon, 34, revisited the Jonas Brothers' 2008 hit 'Burnin' Up' in a TikTok video showcasing her red-hot look at the 2026 Rare Impact Fund Benefit on Wednesday, October 14.
Gomez wore a custom Prada gown and satin heels as she lip-synced the song's famous 'high heels, red dress' line, a cheeky reference to her history with Nick. The pair began dating in 2008 after meeting through their Disney Channel careers, with Gomez starring in 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and Nick appearing in 'Camp Rock' before launching the series 'Jonas'.
Both were around 15 when their romance began, and they had an on-again, off-again relationship before splitting for good in 2010. Gomez has since married music producer Benny Blanco.
The couple tied the knot in September 2025 and recently marked their first anniversary by eating frozen wedding cake in their pajamas and watching their wedding videos. Nick, meanwhile, married Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra in December 2018.
They welcomed daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas in January 2022. Fans across social media quickly noticed the reference, flooding comment sections with nostalgia about the early days of Disney Channel pop culture.
The playful video accumulated millions of views within hours of being posted on the platform. Observers noted that both stars have successfully moved forward in their personal and professional lives, making the lighthearted nod a fun moment for long-time followers rather than any serious statement.
Gomez continues to focus heavily on her philanthropic work through the Rare Impact Fund, which aims to expand mental health access for young people globally. Her recent red carpet appearance was part of ongoing efforts to raise awareness and support for the cause.
Nick Jonas remains active in the music industry with his brothers, touring arenas worldwide and releasing new material. Both artists maintain successful independent careers while occasionally engaging with their massive digital followings through social media trends.
As pop culture moments go, this brief throwback serves as a reminder of how intertwined early celebrity histories can be, delighting generations of fans who grew up watching them on television screens worldwide.
