Happy fans: The crowd cheered as Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez gave each other a big kiss during the Billboard Awards
She might have been sitting next to her boyfriend’s mother, but that didn’t stop Selena Gomez giving Justin Bieber a big kiss at the Billboard Music Awards last night.
The young couple couldn’t hide their affection for each other, as Bieber scooped six awards last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Selena, 18, followed up the kiss with a big hug, before 17-year-old Bieber went to collect his gong in a sparkling gold tuxedo jacket.

They’ve previously been very coy about their relationship but seem to have finally decided to display their affection for one another in front of fans.
But after starting their romance with secret dates on the back of tour buses, Justin and Selena are no longer sneaking around and have officially gone public with their relationship.
Bieber bet Bruno Mars and Nicki Minaj for best new artist last night and told the audience: ‘I’m 17… every day is crazy to me because I see so many people and I get to make so many people smile.’

The Canadian-born pop star also won Digital Artist of the Year, Fan Favourite of the Year, Top Social Artist, Top Streaming Artist, Top Pop Album and Top Pop Album.
Bieber and Gomez were also presenters during the award show, as were Kylie Minogue, Trey Songz, Scott Weiland and Taylor Swift.
Controversial rapper Eminem also picked up six awards, dominating the event with Bieber.
Eminem won: Top Artist, Top Male Artist, Top Billboard 200 Albums, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Song and Top Rap Album.
He previously won two Billboard Music Awards in 2002 for Best Album of the Year and Best R&B Hip Hop Album of the Year, giving him a total of eight career Billboard Music Awards.

But it wasn’t just the boys stealing the show, as Katy Perry, Rihanna and Shakira managed to nab two gongs each, while Beyonce Knowles was honoured with a Millennium Award for her career achievements so far.
The Awards’ finalists and winners were chosen from a combination of chart performances and social and streaming activity as listed in Billboard magazine and Billboard.com over the past year.
The 46 award categories are based on Billboard data, which measures radio airplay, streaming data, social media consumption and tour grosses tracked by Billboard Boxscore.
During the night a number of performances kept the audience entertained in-between awards being handed out.

Britney Spears and Rihanna put on a spectacular show, which ended in a kiss between Brit, 29, and the 23-year-old pop star.
The ladies performed Rihanna’s hit single S&M in black and white bondage outfits, before Beyonce took to the stage in a risqué bodysuit of her own.
She sand Run the World (Girls) alongside 100 back-up dancers as her mother Tina and sister Solange watched from the audience.
The Black Eyed Peas also sang a medley of their hits on stage in neon coloured outfits.
