Justin Bieber has progressed in his life with a wife and child, yet the announcement of Selena Gomez's engagement still elicited a brief sense of discomfort. For many years, admirers have passionately followed the well-known relationship between Jelena, a narrative that persisted even after the Baby singer wed Hailey Baldwin.

Nevertheless, it appears that this engagement revelation could ultimately signify the conclusion of that chapter. A source disclosed that although Bieber feels pleased for Gomez, he is unable to dismiss a feeling of finality.

Justin Bieber ‘stunned’ over Selena Gomez’s engagement news

Selena Gomez, following a vibrant summer marked by her romantic involvement with music producer Benny Blanco, recently showcased her substantial diamond ring while sharing her engagement announcement on Instagram. This revelation came as a pleasant surprise to her fans, yet it left supporters of both Selena and Justin Bieber in a state of astonishment, eagerly awaiting the pop star's response. Some even attempted to interpret a cryptic message they believed was aimed at Gomez.

As reported by RadarOnline, the former couple, who had an on-and-off relationship from 2010 to 2018, has moved forward in their lives. However, an insider noted, “It stung for a brief moment because, even though they will never be friends or rekindle their romance, it signifies the definitive conclusion of an era.” The source further mentioned that while Bieber is now happily married with a child, he experienced a momentary pang upon learning of Gomez's engagement.

“His history with Selena is deeply intertwined with his life, and now that she is engaged while he is married and a father, it serves as a jarring reminder that time is passing,” the insider elaborated. “Justin is only 30, yet he has experienced a great deal, and an essential chapter of his past has now officially concluded, just as he has moved on. He is unlikely to dwell on it too much and genuinely hopes that she finds happiness.”

The singer known for "Yummy" has not yet made a public statement regarding Gomez's engagement; however, his wife, Hailey, did take a moment to express her support by leaving a heart on the announcement post. Sources suggest that Justin may believe this development will finally quell the fans' admiration for that past relationship, stating, "It's been over, and now this should put the nail in the coffin." Nevertheless, fans were quick to pick up on various hints.

Immediately following the announcement, Bieber shared a photograph featuring himself and his wife, Hailey Bieber. The intimate image captured Bieber in a cap while Hailey affectionately kissed his cheek. Notably, the song he chose to accompany the post—"All My Ghosts" by Lizzy McAlpine—has garnered attention. Lyrics such as "I can see it now, the wedding of the year" and "I can see it now when all my ghosts disappear" appear to suggest a message directed at his former partner. Fans are now speculating whether this could be a subtle reference to his emotions in light of Gomez's engagement.
