Bieber's manager denies engagement reports

Los Angeles, April 23 (IANS) Justin Bieber's representative has denied that the teenage singer is ready to get engaged with his girlfriend Selena Gomez.

The young couple was spotted shopping for engagement rings together by a reporter of Chicago Sun-Times.

Its website suggested the couple was ready to commit to one another and become man and wife.

"Several people close to the superstar couple say they're convinced an engagement is in the very near future. The teen idols were spied closely eyeing some pricy bling in a couple of major jewelry stores - especially major diamond baubles that could only be described as the kind usually slipped on a woman's left-hand ring finger," read the report.

However, Bieber's manager Scooter Braun has said these rumours are completely false and reveals he and his team are laughing at the inaccurate speculation, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Bieber and Gomez began dating in late 2010.
