Talk about PDA!
Despite keeping their romance on the down-low in the past, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez put their young love on full display at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards -- openly kissing and hugging in the audience for all the world to see.
The cutie-pie couple locked lips as Bieber, 17, won top new artist of the year -- one of six awards he picked up during the evening. (Bieber tied with Eminem for most wins).
In addition to their televised smooch, Gomez, 18, was photographed with her hand sweetly draped on Bieber's knee at one point.
The Disney darling has apparently won over her boyfriend's family, as she sat with her arm around Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette.
Despite their public display of affection, the Canadian singing sensation did not mention Gomez by name in his acceptance speeches.
Instead, he thanked his family, his fans, manager Scooter Braun and Usher, who signed the then-unknown teenager to his record label and turned him into an internatiional superstar.
