Los Angeles, Dec 19 (NationPress) Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber appears to be stung by the news of his first love, actress-singer Selena Gomez's engagement to American record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.
The ‘Let Me Love You’ singer had an on-and-off relationship with Selena, 32, from 2010 until 2018, as reported by Mirror.co.uk.
In the same year they parted ways for the last time, Justin moved on and married model Hailey Baldwin, with whom he now shares a four-month-old son named Jack.
Although both seem to be happy with their respective partners now, and Justin was the first to marry, he is said to have felt stung by Selena's announcement, which he reportedly believes signifies the end of an era.
According to Mirror.co.uk, Benny, who has collaborated with both Selena and Justin, reportedly proposed to Selena back in August after dating for just over a year.
However, the couple chose to keep their engagement under wraps until recently, as it coincided with the month when Justin and Hailey welcomed their first child. Selena wanted to ensure her engagement did not divert attention from Justin's new baby or appear as though she was trying to outdo him.
Selena went public with her engagement a week ago, sharing a picture of her stunning diamond ring with her 423 million followers on Instagram.
She captioned the post, ‘Forever begins now…’ New father Justin is said to wish for Selena's happiness. Although he hasn't publicly congratulated her, a source informed the Daily Mail, “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.”
Benny and Selena began dating in June 2023, but they only confirmed their relationship in December of that same year.
