Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez will sit next to each other at the Billboard Music Awards.

The 'Baby' hitmaker and the 'Come & Get It' singer appear to have patched things up since their split in the New Year and are expected to go public at the annual music awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night (19.05.13).

According to Us Weekly, a source has revealed Selena, 20, will be sitting on the front row at the MGM Grand Garden Arena right next to Justin, with her close friend Taylor Swift on her other side.

The insider said it was ''clearly no accident'', adding, ''Their camps must have requested this seating arrangement. No way would it have happened without their go-ahead.''

Rumours have been circulating the pair are back together since they were caught kissing backstage in Norway, and were then seen cuddling in a picture uploaded to Instagram by Justin last month before he deleted it.

The 19-year-old superstar and the former Disney starlet arrived in Vegas early, and were spotted at the Cirque du Soleil's 'Love' show together last night (18.05.13).

Justin tried to enter the Mirage venue incognito, but was rumbled when an onlooker shouted out his name.

He then spent the entire night ''nuzzling right into'' his former girlfriend as they snacked on M&M chocolates, People magazine are reporting.
