Everything You Need To Know About Justin And Selena A Timeline
In the last couple of weeks actress and singer Selena Gomez has been in the media with the best of news and the worst of news. The former Disney star was diagnosed with Lupus between 2012 and 2014. She later then checked herself into rehab for emotional health, and also underwent chemotherapy treatments for her lupus. Needless to say, the "Same Old Love" singer has had it pretty hard the last few years health wise.
Being a voice of people young people coming together and bringing awareness to a crumbling world around us. Becoming the youngest UNICEF ambassador ever at the age of 17. She's become a large part of the WE Charity. You can tell her heart is where she can enlighten and educate young people about mental health, politics, and just being all around good people, but I digress. Even though she's gone through so much emotionally and physically, undergoing a kidney transplant in 2017 she needs the people around her to be able to support her through every step and every journey. And in Hollywood, that's not always easy.
In October of 2017, the former Wizard of Waverly Place broke up with boyfriend of 10 months, Canadian singer The Weeknd and has subsequently been seen with old flame Justin Bieber. Could this be a sweet reunion or was it a bitter breakup?
15 Where It All Began
In 2010 speculations of the teeny bopper duo arose. In an interview with Ellen of that same year, when she was asked about the relationship she was very quick to shut down any rumors of the pair ever being romantically involved with one another. However, that following year, it was clear that the two were definitely not like little brother and big sister.
After a vacation trip to St. Lucia in early 2011 it was even more clear that the pair are indeed romantically involved. The "couple" was shown showing quite a bit of PDA while on the beach. Now I don't know about you guys, but I think if you wanted to keep a relationship under wraps then maybe one of them should've kept their hands to themselves.
14 The First of Many
In November of 2012, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez called it quits for allegedly the first time. After over a year and come change the young couple split and we thought the world was going to end (mainly because some guy said the mayan calendar ended or something). The 2012 breakup came as a result of both of their busy schedules. Shortly after the news of the break broke the web, fans took it as an opportunity to link him to the first woman Bieber was photographed with, Victoria's Secret model (and not his first model after that) Barbara Palvin. The Hungarian lingerie Angel took to Twitter to shut down all the rumors further solidifying the fact that they are indeed just friends. #friendship
13 The Great Wall of Shenanigans
Justin Bieber is arguably one of the most hated celebrities out there. In the last few years he's portrayed several acts of spoiled rich kid antics that probably inspired Logan Paul. To the numerous noise complaints from distraught and annoyed neighbours, peeing in a mop bucket at a restaurant, and most notably being carried across China's Great Wall. When the Canadian pop star first came on the scene he was known to be the apple of every preteen girls' mind. Guys hated him because of all the over exposed hype, older moms had those weird Milf like crushes on him and fan girls were just that… fan girls. #cutforbieber
Needless to say the singer is slowly redeeming himself in the public eye but for most people no one saw the catch between the two.
12 The Heart Wants What It Wants
On November 6, 2014 the "Bad Liar" singer released on of her most open hearted songs to date. "The Heart Wants What It Wants" paints a portrait of a girl who is stuck in a relationship with a person who gives her multiple reasons why it would not work, yet stays anyway because the wants ultimately wants what it wants.
The video, shot in black and white, starts off with a short monologue of Selena clearly talking about… you guessed it, Justin:
"But I didn't realize that I-I-I feeling so confidentFeeling so great about myselfAnd then it just be completely shatteredBy one thing, by something so stupidBut then you make me feel crazyYou make me feel like it's my fault"
Shortly after the release of the song Selena performed the heartbreaking hit at the AMAs seemingly in tears.
11 Do It For The Gram
Both Selena and Justin have a crazy amount of fans that love them more than you should love someone you don't know personally. In 2016, Gomez, the Biebs, poor Sofia Richie, and fangirls alike took to Instagram to get in a little brawl that led to Justin deleting his account all together. After posting several photos of his alleged new girlfriend, Bieber took the time to threaten to delete his account on Richie's behalf after fans commented #TeamSelena. After the "threat", Selena responded, “If you can't handle the hate, stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol-it should be special between you two only. Don't be mad at your fans. They love you and supported you before anyone ever did.”#micdrop
Bieber then accused Selena of using him and their relationship for attention. Now I'm not a marketing expert but I think Selena can hold her own.
10 Is it Too Late Now To Say Sorry?
In late 2015, it seemed that Justin Bieber was actually gaining a great deal of respect from more critics and artists alike. While simultaneously expanding a wider fan base aside from the typical fan girl, Bieber released hit after hit in 2015 and has yet to stop. After releasing What Do You Mean, Sorry, and Where Are Ü Now Bieber seemed to be unstoppable. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres in November of that year, Ellen asks the obvious question on whether or not he'd get back together with the "Same Old Love" singer. He responds, "I think we're both just on our own journeys, figuring ourselves out and once we've figured ourselves out we could maybe come together and make an awesome duo." He later states that he just wants her to be happy.
9 Revival Oxymoron
In late August of 2016 Selena Gomez unfortunately had to cancel the rest of her Revival tour for health complications with auto-immune disease Lupus. A few months later it was reported that Justin visited the singer while she was recovering… allegedly. Gomez has been battling lupus for about two years and has been getting treated for it. However, with the added stress of touring and recording more music, it can get a little overwhelming. Symptoms surrounding lupus includes anxiety and panic. We all know how scary feeling anxiety and panic is while we are just taking a test or laying in bed. Imagine feeling as such when on stage in front of thousands nearly everyday of the week. Get well soon, Selena.
8 Looking Forward to the Weeknd
Is it me or am I the only one LIVING for this duo? The pair made it "official" posting pics of vacationing, wining and dining in Venice and Florence, Italy. This news is still giving me life. The Weeknd, 27, is a Canadian singer who's rise to fame with his single "Wicked Games" and being a commonly featured artist, collaborating frequently with fellow Canadian artist Drake, as well as being the featured artist on Ariana Grande's "Love me Harder." He reached mainstream success with his hit "Earned It" for the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack and 2015 summer hit "Can't Feel My Face." Needless to say, everyone approves of the interracial pair and for one will forever and always be here for it.
7 It Ain't Me
While out and about minding his own business, paparazzi did what paparazzi do best, get a rise out of human beings. A pap asked Justin Bieber, Selena's ex, if she would listen to the Weeknd's (Selena's current flame) music. Bieber quickly replied, "Hell no" before going on about his life. Now, this is not something to make a huge deal out of but when you have history with someone as the Bieber and Gomez have, anything you say about their new beau can and will be use against you in the court of gossip mags. Shortly after The Weeknd releases a song in which he says "I think your girl / think your girl / fell in love with me." The next day Selena released "It Ain't Me" with Kygo in which the song could be used as another dig at Bieber… but we are reaching here.
6 Bad Liar
Here goes the internet, being the internet again. After Selena teases her new single "Bad Liar" the pop star definitely stirred up some type of… drama of sorts. Writing the lyrics of the hit single on a mirror obviously drew quite a bit of speculation. Now most people are obviously going to link her new hit singles with the rebel without a cause ex boo thing. Others are also wondering whether or not the single will be featured on season 2 of 13 Reasons Why. Obviously just by looking at it you aren't able to tell who or what that's about. But you are able to tell that after 6 months, a sampled version of a Talking Heads song sounds awesome and Selena has great taste in music.
5 Jelena Fangirls Rise Again
Over the summer, Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman tour came to a screeching hault when a terrorist attack plagued the city of Manchester with fear and panic. After the attacks the "Love Me Harder" singer put together a benefit concert for the people and families of those who were affected by the attack. Selena was asked about what she thought of the concert while on air on Sirius XM's Morning Mashup stating it was beautiful before adding "I thought Justin did great." Jelena fans went WILD. Which is fair, people who were fans of the couple want their OTP to be happy… together. Jelena fans took to Twitter to share their excitement, speculating that these two will get back together. The excitement is real.
4 Weeknd Kidney
After news broke that best friend to Gomez, Francia Raisa who is best known for her role on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, donated her kidney, everyone was in awe at the ultimate #BFFGoals. “There aren't words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa,” Gomez wrote in the post. “She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis,” Selena says in a shared pic of the two on her Instagram. An insider tells People,“Abel has been one of her biggest supports. She had been traveling with him on his tour and he was off during her surgery and right after during her recovery." Another source reported that the singer scheduled his performances around Selena's surgery. So… what happened?
3 His Choice
Since the news broke about the Jelena reunion, the union of Selena and The Weeknd has also been under watchful eyes of #TeamWeeknders everywhere. We are all wondering what happend? About a week after Selena went public about her kidney transplant everyone praised Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) about being as supportive as ever during this time and scheduling appearances and performances around her medical schedule so that he could be with her. So, what happened?! Turns out, it was his decision. According to an article on Elle India a source reported, it seemed that the relationship just seemed to fizzle out due to their conflicting schedules, while other's were saying that he couldn't handle the emotional side of Selena. We might never really know the truth!
2 Reunited And It Feel So Good?
Because of the awful timing, Selena and Justin's apparent reunion raised a few eyebrows as it was also reported that the singer and The Weeknd broke up. Questions arose about whether or not Selena broke up with The Weeknd because she was getting back together with Justin and so on. The two have been spotted out and about and it has been driving people insane. It's been reported that Justin was also in contact with Selena since earlier in the year being another source of support during a trying time. With everything going on at the same time and being a person to which she has quite a bit of history you can't blame the girl for seeing the Sorry singer a little differently since her Heart Wants What It Wants days. Growth is attractive af.
1 Take Me To Church
The on again off again couple has been seen going to church not once, but twice. Over the last year we've seen Justin grow into a better person and getting back into his faith. We've known Justin for being the rambunctious young adult with all the fame and money anyone could ever ask for and a minor menace to society. Justin took to Instagram to acknowledge his past behaviour while also acknowledging that he's not perfect but he's trying to be better and is blessed. They can be seen walking out of church services over the weekend with Selena sporting a low key church appropriate outfit as Justin stays comfy in a hoody and some shorts. It is still unclear whether or not the two are officially dating, but who are we kidding amiright?
