THE Canadian singer posted a throwback snap of himself kissing now ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez (#Jelena) on the social media app this weekend, leaving us scratching our heads. Haven’t we moved past these cryptic flashback posts? And what about Hailey Baldwin? (We know you were more than just friends.)
Oh, and to make matters more confusing, he captioned the photo: “Feels.”
Clearly, The Biebs still has Selena on his mind, but maybe it’s finally time to act on his words and be sorry for continuing to dredge up these old memories. Because as we all know, Gomez is sick of that same old love.
Our guess is Bieber doesn’t care. He probably just keeps telling himself to “never say never.”
And proving that the feeling is still very much reciprocated, Selena left a comment under the picture, simply saying: “Perfect.”
The on-off couple began dating in 2011 before splitting for the last time in October 2014, though they remain good friends and have regularly been seen in each other’s company since.
Speaking last month about their relationship, Selena said she isn’t prepared to put herself on the front line again by dating him.
“At first I didn’t care. To me it was: I’m 18, I have a boyfriend, we look cute together, we like that. Then I got my heart broken and I cared,” she explained.
“Because people had no idea what was going on, but everywhere it was a million different things. I was kind of in a corner, banging my head against the wall. I didn’t know where to go.”
While late last year Justin gave a candid interview to Access Hollywood where he admitted he still loves his ex “dearly”.
The 22-year-old said: “[She] is someone I love dearly. I’m never going to stop loving her. I’m never going to stop checking in on her.
“I don’t think if you end a relationship, you should end that, unless it was super toxic and you guys were hurting each other physically or mentally. We always respected each other and we still respect each other.”
The pair have been friends since 2009 when their managers set them up but didn’t confirm their relationship until two years later. The following four-year relationship saw break-up rumours, engagement rumours, and countless loved-up ‘back together’ selfies.
The singer added: “It was really tough. I don’t know if I’m over it yet. I think that I’m definitely in another place and I think we’ve definitely went our separate ways. I love her and I want her to be awesome, but there are things that remind me of her.”
