Justin Bieber allegedly called Selena Gomez 23 times on the very day he tied the knot with Hailey Bieber, according to lyrics from the latter’s song Ring. Gomez sings in the track:
I received your message. All 23. You know I’m Jordan with it… G.O.A.T. Obviously, I’m aware of that, I’m breaking hearts like a heart attack.
These lyrics reignited speculation about the drama surrounding their final breakup.
Sources claim that Bieber was devastated by the split and continued sending messages of “I Love You” to Gomez hours before his courthouse wedding with Hailey. While these claims spark curiosity, neither Bieber nor Gomez has confirmed the 23-call story. Both stars are currently happily married to their separate partners. Gomez and Bieber dated on and off from around 2010‑2018, but their romantic relationship ended in 2018.
Are Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Still Friends? Why He Won’t Let Wife End Feud With Fetish Singer
No, it doesn’t appear that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are actively friends. Even years after their breakup, tension lingers between the former couple, and insiders say the Baby singer might be fueling it. Reports indicate that Justin encourages Hailey Bieber to continue engaging in the feud, interpreting her actions as a demonstration of loyalty. A source told the Daily Mail:
Justin trusts Hailey to say what she wants to say and if she gets them into some drama, he’s going to ride or die with her, whether it is about Selena or not.
While Gomez appears ready to move on, Hailey’s public comments, like her October 14 interview with the Wall Street Journal addressing comparisons between her Rhode Beauty line and Gomez’s Rare Beauty, have reignited attention:
It’s always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn’t ask for that.
The source explained that despite the lingering tension, it is now largely a professional rivalry, and if Gomez and Hailey were in the same room, “they’d be very nice to each other.”
Selena Gomez Called Justin Bieber’s Breakup the ‘Best Thing That Ever Happened’
Despite the high-profile heartbreak, Selena Gomez views the split from Justin Bieber as a turning point in her life. In her Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me, Gomez reflected (via Billboard):
Everything was so public. I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of. Then I just moved past it, and I wasn’t afraid anymore.
Her on-and-off relationship with Bieber spanned nearly a decade, ending in 2018, just months before he married Hailey. Gomez described the painful journey of public scrutiny and heartbreak, but emphasized the personal growth she experienced:
I feel like I had to go through the worst possible heartbreak ever and then just forgetting everything at the drop of the hand, it was really confusing… ultimately it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Gomez also recounted writing her Billboard Hot 100-topping single Lose You to Love Me, inspired by her breakup. “We wrote the song in 45 minutes. The fastest song I’ve ever written,” she revealed, adding:
It’s about more than a lost love. It’s me learning to choose myself, to choose life, but also hoping that people can find grace and peace in that too. The song is about knowing that you completely lost every part of who you are just to rediscover yourself again.
