The heart wants what it wants. Justin Bieber has been wrapped up in drama with Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) for more than a decade – and Us Weekly it’s broken all down.
Justin and Gomez were romantically linked for the first time in 2011 after claiming to be just friends for two years.
“I wouldn’t be with someone if I didn’t love them,” said the “Baby” singer. New! magazine in October 2011. “He makes me laugh and he does practical jokes. He also has very strong family values. We were both raised by single mothers in a single household, and that gives us a lot of the same family values. in life.
The two’s on-and-off relationship ended in 2015. After their breakup, Justin and Hailey’s friendship turned romantic. The “Sorry” crooner and the model were spotted making out on New Year’s Eve in December 2015. After dating for a few months, however, they broke up.
“I know that in the past I’ve hurt people and said things I didn’t mean to make them happy. So now I’m just looking more to the future, making sure I don’t hurt them,” said Justin GQ magazine in March 2016. “What if Hailey was the girl I was going to be rooting for, right? If I rush into something, if I break her, it’s going to be broken. It’s hard to heal a wound like that. It’s so hard. … I I just don’t want to hurt him.”
Justin also referred to his relationship with Gomez as “friendly” during the interview.
“We don’t talk often,” he said. “If he needs anything, I’m there for him. If I need anything, he’s there for me.
Justin continued: “I don’t want to put anyone in a position where they feel like I’m theirs, they’re just going to get hurt. Right now in my life, I don’t want to be held back by anything. I’ve got a lot to live up to. A lot of responsibilities. I’m not want to feel that the girl I love is an additional responsibility.”
Over a year later, Justin and Gomez gave their relationship another shot. It wasn’t long before they broke up again, and Justin reconnected with Hailey. Two months after Us Weekly confirmed that the Grammy winner and “Hands to Myself” singer broke up in May 2018, Justin proposed to Hailey.
The couple married in September 2018. A year (and another wedding) later, Gomez seems to call out her ex for going too fast in a song titled “Lose You to Love Me.”
