Selena Gomez's engagement: Justin Bieber reflects on past

Last week, fans of Selena Gomez received quite unexpected news. The singer announced via Instagram that she is engaged to her current partner, Benny Blanco. She also displayed an impressive ring online. The couple has been dating since early 2023 and appears to have serious intentions towards each other.

Such an important event in Selena's life would not be complete without media reports on how her ex-boyfriend reacted to the news. She and Justin Bieber, as he is the one in question, broke up many years ago, and their relationship was notably turbulent. Even though he is now married and has a child, people are once again curious about whether and how the news of his ex's engagement affected him.

The Daily Mail investigated the matter and reached out to a "well-informed" source from the star's circle. Reportedly, the musician was pleased to hear about Selena's engagement, but at the same time, he felt a twinge of emotion, realizing this was definitively the end of a certain phase in his life.

Justin is married and has a kid, we all know that 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 - explained the informant.

We also learn that Justin can finally breathe a sigh of relief and, of course, wishes Selena all the best.

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. 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. He hopes this will finally get fans to stop stanning for that relationship, it's been over and now this should put the nail in the coffin.
