According to RadarOnline, the former couple, who dated on and off from 2010 to 2018, has undeniably moved on, however, “It stung for a brief second because even though they’ll never be friends or date again, it marks the official end of an era.” The insider added that while Bieber is happily married with a child, he couldn’t help but feel a fleeting sting upon hearing the news.
“His past is so connected with Selena, and now that she is engaged, he is married and a father, it’s a bit of a shock to the system that everyone is getting older,” the source added. “Justin is only 30, but he has lived a life, and an important part of his past is now officially moved on just as much as he has moved on. He won’t be stressing much about it and hopes that she is well and happy at the end of the day.”

While the Yummy singer is yet to publicly react to Gomez’s engagement, his wife Hailey sure did stop to drop a heart on the singer’s post of the announcement. Insiders believe that Justin probably thinks this will finally stop fans’ stanning for that relationship—” it’s been over, and now this should put the nail in the coffin.” Fans, however, were quick to decipher some clues.
Right after the announcement, Bieber posted a photo of himself with his wife, Hailey Bieber. The close-up shot showed Bieber wearing a cap while Hailey kissed his cheek. However, the choice of song—”All My Ghosts” by Lizzy McAlpine—drew attention. Lyrics like “I can see it now, the wedding of the year” and “I can see it now, when all my ghosts disappear” seem to hint at a message to his ex. Fans are speculating whether it’s a cryptic nod to his feelings after Gomez’s engagement.
