Social media has been buzzing with the news of Selena Gomez’s ex, Justin Bieber, expecting his first child with his wife, Hailey Bieber. Despite the speculation and comments from various sources, Gomez has chosen to focus on the positive in her life. She took to Instagram to share her happiness about her new show, Selena + Restaurant, and posted a black and white photo holding hands with her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, where a big ring could be seen on her finger. The couple has been dating since June 2023, with Gomez publicly expressing how Blanco has treated her better than any other person she has been with.
According to sources close to Gomez, she considers Blanco to be “the love of her life” and is confident about the future of their relationship. They have even discussed marriage and having children, showing that they are on the same page when it comes to their future together. Blanco himself spoke about his realization of being in love with Gomez after a decade of friendship, admitting that he was clueless about his feelings until one day he just knew he was in love.
Despite Gomez’s history with Justin Bieber, who she dated on and off for eight years, she has put that chapter behind her. The final breakup between them occurred in spring 2018, and Gomez opened up about the experience in her documentary My Mind and Me. She discussed writing the song “Lose You to Love Me,” released in October 2019, and shared that their breakup was the best thing that happened to her. Although she did not mention Bieber by name, Gomez expressed how liberating it was to let go of a past relationship that had haunted her. She emphasized the importance of going through heartbreak and rediscovering herself, ultimately leading to a stronger and more confident version of herself.
Recognizing Personal Growth
In reflecting on her past experiences, Gomez acknowledged the struggles she faced in moving on from a high-profile relationship. She admitted to feeling haunted by the public scrutiny of her breakup but through that pain, she found the courage to let go and move forward. Gomez’s journey of self-discovery and healing serves as a reminder that letting go of the past is necessary for personal growth and development. The documentary director, Alek Keshishian, prompted Gomez to reiterate the transformative nature of her breakup and the positive impact it had on her life.
Selena Gomez’s ability to focus on her present happiness and flourishing relationship with Benny Blanco demonstrates her resilience and strength in overcoming past challenges. By prioritizing her emotional well-being and personal growth, Gomez serves as an inspiration for others facing similar struggles in moving on from difficult relationships and embracing new beginnings.
