Two weeks after announcing his split from wife Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux is breaking his social media silence — with a little help from Selena Gomez. Yes, that Selena Gomez.

The Leftovers star took to Instagram to share adorable photos of puppies that are up for adoption and name-dropped the pop star for the cause. “Another very inspiring visit with the incredible people and pups @austinpetsalive,” he captioned the album full of doggie pics. “I cannot understand how they do what they do, day after day, so consistently and lovingly to save so many dogs and cats.” He went on to use the hashtag #SelenaGomez and explained why.

“Yeah that’s right Selena I did it to you again but if you saw these guys you’d do whatever you could too also I know you’re chill like that [sic],” he jokingly added. While it may seem strange that the 46-year-old actor has a relationship with the former Disney star, Selena previously opened up about her close friendship with Jennifer, 49, before her separation.

“Honestly, she’s amazing. We met through my management. They manage her as well, so it was kind of like a friendly meeting and instantly she’s, like, inviting me to her house,” Selena told KTU’s Cubby and Carolina in 2015. “She’s very cool and very sweet. She kind of gives me a lot of, like, maternal advice.”

While Justin may be turning to puppies and Selena amid his divorce, In Touch previously reported that the Friends actress is leaning on her ex-husband Brad Pitt. “Jen made a tearful, late-night call to Brad one night recently and explained how Justin went off to the East Coast three months ago, and she felt he was never coming back,” a friend of Jen’s said. “She confided in him about all the missteps and problems in the relationship, and Brad provided the calming words that she needed to hear.” To each their own.
