Her Dating History and Relationship with Former Boyfriend Justin Bieber

She has been in an on-and-off controversial relationship with Justin Bieber. They have been breaking up and coming back together since January 2011 when the couple confirmed to their fans that they were an item following a public display of affection while on a vacation together.

All doubts were cleared when they walked the red carpet together for the first time in February 2011. This was only a confirmation because the rumours about the two having an affair started in 2010, prompting the derivation “Jelena”.

Following an accusation by a fan that Justin Bieber was the father of her 4-month-old child, rumors began to circulate that Selena Gomez had dumped the pop singer for good. That, however, wasn’t true. Fast forward to 10 months later – the first official break-up occurred. The couple said they were too busy for each other, thanks to their tight schedules.

Of course, the Jelena fans were gutted but that wasn’t for long as the lovebirds resumed their love affair in January 2013. Soon after, it circulated that Bieber has left Selena for a model, Hailey Baldwin. As the insinuations about Bieber dating Baldwin continued to swell, Selena took her own pound of flesh with DJ Zedd. The pair released a single together but broke up shortly after. According to Zedd, Selena’s huge popularity was a huge factor in his decision to part ways with the singer. Moving on from DJ Zedd, Gomez was seen with The Weeknd. The move stirred a feud between Bieber and The Weeknd.

After a while, Gomez parted with Weeknd and returned to Bieber. In November 2017, they were seen kissing again in a public show of love. This sent their fans into a wild frenzy on Twitter. As they go back and forth in the relationship, reports surfaced that Gomez’s family does not like the idea of a reconciliation between the two lovebirds.

When asked why she is back with Bieber, Gomez said it is because he is her first love. That’s so cute! In March 2018, they called it quits for good. The “Baby” singer eventually married wife Hailey Baldwin in September 2018.

In January 2020, Gomez made headlines when she accused Bieber of “emotional abuse” in their relationship. Her 2020 album, Rare, featured several songs alluding to the breakup they had, including “Lose You to Love Me.”
