Things are heating up between Justin Bieber and his rumored new squeeze, wannabe model Yovanna Ventura — the couple shared an intimate lunch in LA Tuesday, and Ventura later posted an Instagram picture of them cuddling with the gooey caption “sweetest guy ever!”

So who exactly is this beautiful brunette who appears to have replaced Disney star Selena Gomez in the fickle affections of the Biebs?
Here are the 10 must-know facts about the 18-year-old superbabe:
Ventura recently graduated from Miami Senior High School. Her fellow students had hoped that Bieber would take her to prom, but it didn’t pan out.
A friend of Kardashian scion Kendall Jenner, Ventura first showed up in the Bieber entourage when his posse attended a Floyd Mayweather fight in Las Vegas in May.
She’s a compulsive poser and selfie-taker. Her Instagram feed is chock-full of watermarked photos of Ventura in skimpy bikinis, pouting in front of bathroom mirrors.
In one of her Instagram videos, speaking in a breathless, Marilyn Monroe-like helium voice, she reveals: “Today I have a casting for another fashion show. And I’m a little nervous. Not a lot. Just a little bit. Wish me luck. I hope I do good. Bye!”

At 5-foot-9, she exactly is the same height as 20-year-old Bieber. But she towers over her beau when she is wearing heels.
She has 446,000 Instagram followers who lap up her workout and diet tips, which are often featured on so-called “‘gympiration” videos. Proving that you don’t necessarily need money to stay fit, she uses water bottles as hand weights.

Her super-toned butt is her proudest asset, and her go-to exercise technique is a sideways glut-lift, which looks a lot like a dog cocking its leg against a lampost.
Bilingual in Spanish and English, the Miami native refers to Bieber on social media as her amigo.
Ventura’s Facebook profile recently included the fact that she was signed to Elite Model Management in Miami, Fla.
It was hastily deleted after Elite denied any knowledge of her.
She and the Biebs love to flirt online.
When Yovanna posted an image of herself trying on a figure-hugging black dress for prom, Justin copied the image onto his own account adding the caption: “I see you in that Dolce Dress. Glad u had fun.”
She returned the compliment by posting a shot of him in a tailored suit at the Cannes film festival.
She wrote: “#mcm [man crush Monday] looking great in that suit).”
