You know it's real when it's mom-approved.

Fans of Seleknd (Selena Gomez and The Weeknd) were delighted when the couple made their red carpet debut Monday night at the Met Gala. But, apparently, none more so than Selena's mother, Mandy Teefey, who voiced her approval of their relationship on Instagram.

The Weeknd posted an adorable photo of him and Gomez posing on the red carpet looking like the next king and queen of prom.

Teefy, while using the Instagram account for her production company "kicked2thecurb", left a comment under the photo pointing out how "healthy" and "in love" they looked while also cementing her approval of their relationship.
