Justin Bieber appears to have moved on from his tumultuous past, even as his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez celebrates her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco.
According to a report by Daily Mail, an insider revealed that while the Baby hitmaker is happily focused on his family life, he couldn’t help but feel a brief moment of nostalgia upon hearing the news of Selena’s engagement.
“Justin is married and has a kid, we all know that,” the source explained. “But when he heard that Selena was engaged, he’ll even admit, it stung for a brief second. Because even though they will never be friends or date again or anything like that, it is officially the end of an era.”
The source went on to reflect on how both stars have grown and moved on from their shared history, surprising many fans who followed their decade-long on-again, off-again relationship.
“It’s incredible to see how quickly both Justin and Selena have matured and moved past their troubled love story,” the tipster remarked.
The report comes after Justin seemingly reacted to Selena’s engagement news by sharing a series of intimate family photos with his wife, Hailey Bieber. On December 16, the Peaches singer posted rare snapshots of their recent celebrations, showcasing the couple’s close bond and joyful moments.
As Justin’s post gained traction on social media, fans were quick to speculate that his timing might have been a subtle response to Selena’s engagement. The back-to-back displays of happiness from both exes with their respective partners seemed to signify a clear and final chapter in their story.
For those unversed, Justin and Selena’s high-profile relationship spanned nearly a decade before they officially parted ways in 2018. Despite their rollercoaster romance, both have now found peace in their personal lives.
Selena is reportedly “thrilled” to start this new chapter with Blanco, while Justin remains focused on his marriage to Hailey and his growing family.
The engagement announcement and Justin’s quiet acknowledgment mark what many see as a symbolic “end of an era” for the two pop icons—a sign that both have fully embraced their separate futures.
