Selena Gomez’s Post After The Biebers’ Baby Reveal Has Her In The Hot Seat

All eyes have been on Justin Bieber’s ex, Selena Gomez, since news of the Baby singer and his wife, Hailey Bieber, having their first child together broke yesterday.

Gomez caught the attention of many when she flaunted her relationship with her record producer boyfriend, Benny Blanco, following the Biebers’ pregnancy reveal. Some speculated that the ex-Disney star’s Instagram Story slide featuring a photo of her and Blanco holding hands shared on Thursday indirectly responded to Justin and Hailey’s baby announcement on that day.

The Wizards of Waverly Place actor’s pic captured a glimpse into her almost year-long happy relationship with her beau, which is the message that Gomez seemed to want to send to fans. However, the message didn’t make its intended impact since the romantic snap she shared of her and Blanco appeared to be a throwback.

Around the time Gomez shared the snap of her and Blanco locking hands on her Instagram Stories timeline yesterday, TMZ obtained snaps and a video of Blanco gambling at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel in Nevada. The news outlet’s discovery revealed that the lovey-dovey image she shared of her and Blanco wasn’t taken at that moment since the producer was in Sin City. Meaning that most likely, Gomez uploaded an old photo of them.

Many on X, fka Twitter, claimed that Gomez only showed the sweet snap of her and Blanco to appear unbothered by Justin and Hailey’s pregnancy announcement.

“No, this is actually kinda sad (and pathetic). It’s really giving ‘omg, he’s truly over our relationship. Quick, I need to show how happier I am without HIM!,'” one slammed on X.

A second fan added: “So embarrassing.”

Someone else agreed: “Lmaoo that’s so embarrassing for her.”

Days before Justin unveiled that Hailey had a bun in the oven on Instagram, the Same Old Love songstress limited the people who could comment on her Instagram account to only those she followed. She seemed to want to minimize the amount of people who could bring up Justin in her Instagram comment section.

Gomez, the most followed woman on Instagram with almost 430 million followers, recently explained on the Today show why she adjusted her comment section.

“I think I’ve created boundaries to help myself,” Gomez said on the morning show last week. “Obviously people were concerned about that, they care about everything.”

Despite the split, Gomez and Bieber are among the most famous former couples. They were affectionately known as “Jelena” when they dated on and off between 2009 and 2018. The ex-couple hasn’t left people’s minds, even though both entertainers are involved with other people and haven’t dated since 2018.

Fans can’t seem to let go of this ex-couple. Even after the pregnancy news, fans are still dragging Gomez into the conversation. Every move Gomez makes is often under scrutiny, fueling rumors of things like Gomez feuding with Hailey, which have been drawing reactions from fans for years.
