Also. This video is a collaboration with Molly on pop She's doing a video all about the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. So be sure to check that out I will link it below and up top. Anyway, let's get back into the video To start this story we have to travel back to the early 2000s when a young Selena Gomez was just getting her start on the Disney Channel Gary Marsh Michael Poirier's and the rest of the Disney Channel executive crew had tested a young Selena on three different TV shows before Casting her in Wizards of Waverly Place The first was the Suite Life of Zack and Cody where Selena played Cody's love interest The second was a spin-off of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody that never aired titled Arwen and the third was a planned Lizzie McGuire spin-off focused on the lanes character Miranda the latter two shows where Selena was the star would fall victim to the 2007 writers guild strike when the Disney Channel had to make drastic cuts for its programming lineup Despite these shows being canceled before they even began Disney Channel knew they had a star in Selena So they tried to put her in every show possible This eventually landed her the starring role of Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place Now me and Shelby have actually never done a deep dive on Selena Gomez But Wizards of Waverly Place was one of the most successful Disney Channel shows of all time The world had already experienced the phenomenon of Hilary Duff Raven Simone and Miley Cyrus But they were about to experience the true hype that was Selena Gomez when Wizards debuted to 5.9 million viewers Selena instantly became a Disney Channel celebrity There were Wizards of Waverly Place school supplies dolls toys wands anything you could imagine Selena was officially enchanting millions of kids TV screens and becoming a bonafide Disney Channel icon She signed a deal with Hollywood Records to transform her into their latest pop star and soon Selena would tour with her band the scene by 2008 Selena was acting singing and dancing Pretty much everywhere. You looked on the Disney Channel. It was a takeover The network hadn't seen since Miley Cyrus Selena Gomez was a household name The shows Michael Poirier's and Gary Marsh were creating back then were more than just kids shows They were massive TV shows that appealed to the entire family Thus when a 15 year old Canadian singer named Justin Bieber first laid eyes on Alex Russo Selena Gomez's character in Wizards of Waverly Place it was love at first sight Justin wasn't just an ordinary kid He had the voice of an angel in 2008 a year after Selena debuted on Disney Channel Justin was discovered by music executive Scooter Braun who after watching YouTube videos of him singing flew him out to Atlanta and signed him To Raymond Braun Media Group a joint venture between Scooter and Usher by May 2009 Justin debuted his first single one time while promoting it. He was often asked super invasive and borderline Inappropriate questions for a 15 year old boy One of those questions was who his celebrity crush was and without hesitation Justin said he had a massive crush on Disney Channel starlet Selena Gomez. Let me play some sound from you for you This is from from 2009 Well, we did an interview with a with a guy named Justin Bieber Who in Hollywood are you a little bit obsessed with what girl out there? Beyonce Beyonce She's a little old But there's got to be somebody in Hollywood who's in your age group I know you're trying to get this answer to me, but I think Selena Gomez is pretty. Oh, I don't like her I think she's cute. I think she's a cutie, but That's what I needed to know Because now Selena Gomez may hear this and she may say Justin Bieber. Oh my god I think I don't like him. I don't like him because you know, we can't like this Yeah, like no, but if I happen to run into him He might be somebody I'd consider hanging out with it took me a while to get the answer. I don't want I don't like I understand at your age. You're not allowed to like girls. No, I do like girls. No, I was the same way I was afraid I don't I'm not afraid seriously. I'm not afraid so Selena Gomez if she came into the room you talk to her Of course, I would absolutely So he had you on his mind in 2009 He's not When he came in that day he hugged Carolina and he grabbed a handful of her He's gonna be cute Now this was before Justin had really hit the mainstream But that would change with the release of his first EP my world in November of 2009 While that project was gearing up to release Selena Gomez told Access Hollywood that she thought Justin was adorable and that she loved him But added it's weird because he's like my little brother. You know what? He's the cutest sweetest kid in the face of the planet I feel like a cougar cuz I totally have a crush on you're two years older, right? Cute he is so cute. He's got swagger. I saw a video of you getting serenaded by him. I know it was so cute We were doing the Dick Clark's Rockin New Year's Eve And I performed first and then I was leaving to do press on backstage and Justin runs back and he goes Selena He's like what he's like, can you can you come on stage for me for one less lonely girl? I was like, I mean Justin he's like, please please please and I go fine. Okay, what do I do? He's like, oh, I'll do all the work Okay, so then he runs No, he runs offstage and then he runs back and he goes wait, can you take your heels off? I don't want you to be taller. Oh Were you still taller than I'm not gonna take my heels off No, we're actually the same height without heels cut to two months later as Justin's brand new EP was blowing up He took the opportunity to shoot a shot at Selena one more time this time because he was already a Huge-huge celebrity it made headlines Do you have a crush on like in this industry if you've met him or not? Like there's one person that you like have a crush on if you saw that you would like I would crush on Selena Gomez Suddenly Justin's celebrity crush was everywhere after a truly suspenseful build-up in December 2009 Scooter Braun and Disney Channel arranged for Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber to briefly meet in Person little did either of them know that this meeting would alter their lives and pop culture history forever But that life-changing romance would actually have to be put on pause for almost a year at the time Selena was fresh off her relationship with Nick Jonas and was dating Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner, which complete sidebar I have an entire video dropping on him very soon. So stay tuned for that Meanwhile, Justin Bieber was dating a singer named Jasmine B who was signed to veteran songwriter Esther Dean Selena was on every red carpet with Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner and Justin was seen with Jasmine B in all of his major music Videos that kick-started his career However, that didn't stop the media from ridiculing Justin Jasmine Selena and Taylor Jasmine got the brunt of the backlash After all, she was the star of Justin Bieber's music videos and his large female fan base hated her Jasmine was experiencing a small-scale version of what Selena's life experience would be transformed into by September 2010 Selena and Justin's comments about each other were all the media wanted to talk about Reporters pointed out Justin's obvious crush and Selena referring to him as her quote little brother But for the entirety of 2010 Justin and Selena barely spoke publicly about each other The first concrete sighting of the pair together happened after a cue 102 jingle ball concert in Philadelphia Paparazzi caught them walking out of an IHOP arm-in-arm Which tabloids would hype as a pancake date Selena laughed off the rumors to MTV News saying it was pancakes Who doesn't like pancakes? She explains that we were both performing in the same place. So we went and had pancakes together It was all innocent. However, notably at the same show Justin told a fan that Selena was his favorite Disney celebrity Who's your favorite Disney girl? Favorite Disney girl Favorite Disney girl, you know, we got Selena Gomez here. Yeah, Selena Gomez. Yeah the stage. Yeah, probably Selena And on New Year's Eve 2010 Justin and Selena were photographed ringing in the year together Kissing on a yacht. They were also both seen entering a hotel together in Miami Beach It was official Justin and Selena were more than just friends and the news exploded on February 28th 2011 Justin and Selena made their official couple debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar party wearing matching black and red Coordinating outfit there was no longer any questions The pair were officially dating even though neither had confirmed it yet publicly every magazine began Freaking out not just the pop star and Tiger B crowd, but people magazine Cosmopolitan and every grocery store publication Started feverishly reporting on their every move this marked a massive step for Justin and Selena Just when the world didn't think they could get any more famous they both quadrupled their fame stretching their 15 minutes of fame into an hour and eventually into a lifetime of Celebrity a few days later Selena was spotted with Justin and their mutual friend Chris Brown Celebrating Justin's 17th birthday Exactly two weeks later Selena appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and was grilled about her relationship with Justin This is you and Justin Bieber You guys look very happy there, how long have you known him almost like two years two years, where did you meet? People gotta meet somewhere right? Yeah, actually his manager called my mom who's my manager. I heard he was your paperboy and All right, that's enough Yeah, but is there I mean you're I don't know are you dating you're not dating It's been in my life for so long and it's just nice to have someone that understands what you're going through Now listen, this is not my first rodeo I Understand because of your circumstance and his circumstance the reluctance Necessary in discussing a relationship like this, so I'm not gonna press anything. Oh Well, that's very sweet. Yeah, so But good luck. Thank you However, Selena finally came forward in her own words in the May issue of 17 magazine. She said I don't like hiding. I'm 18 I'm going to fall in love It's important to note that this was one of the first relationships Disney Channel had dealt with where both parties weren't signed to the network Obviously Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift have been first but Selena and Justin were even more high-profile if you can believe it on May 22nd 2011 Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber shared a public kiss right before Justin accepted an award in late May The two were seen on the beach together fueling even more coverage of their new romance in June 2011 back to where it all started Selena presented Justin with an award at much music The next month Justin surprised Selena during her concert at the Orange County Fair Then they hugged the VMAs and walked the red carpet together This is when both of their media teams realized just how powerful their relationship was There might be a bit of buzz if either of them won a big award But if there was a hug a kiss or even just a glance the media would cover it that much more This fueled all of Selena's Disney Channel projects and boosted Justin's music career just as much They became one of the most insanely famous most talked-about teenage power couples of all time on September 23rd 2011 Justin and Selena attended Demi Lovato's concert at the Staples Center and after the show Justin rented out the entire Arena to watch Titanic with Selena the media was pitching him as every girl's dream boyfriend But the next year would bring the first troubles Justin and Selena would face as a couple Justin Bieber was entering his believe era a pop music Masterpiece fusing the most popular hip-hop artists of the time with the biggest male pop star alive The world had Bieber fever It was Britney Spears round to Selena stepped away from the Disney Channel to focus on her music projects with Hollywood records By this point Selena had proven herself to the network Her music had more mainstream radio crossover than anyone they'd represented since Miley Cyrus She was in her second year of officially dating global Sensation Justin Bieber and Disney kind of gave her the freedom to move into more adult roles while still not completely cutting ties with the network The only alleged agreement was that she stay with Justin Bieber as their relationship was benefiting her career and the multi-billion dollar Disney brand as well. This was the first time the network allowed such a breakout considering that two years earlier They completely blocked can't be tamed from performing as it should have she scooped up Miley's role in Hotel Transylvania That year after Miley was dropped from the project But Miley got her lick back when she openly flirted with Justin Bieber on TV during her episode of Punk'd where the two were Magically paired up You can't **** me. You cannot **** me. I'm unpunctable. I'm Unpunctable, I can't believe I think you just got Punk'd she just got Punk'd Tabloids began reporting that Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were an item and that he had cheated on Selena with the star of Hannah Montana if you had told me that sentence back in 2011 when it was happening, I might have passed out I was not aware of this at all. He's obviously Justin Bieber She got on to Justin the last time we were at Good Morning America or the view She was like, is your teacher here Justin? Have you done your school today? Do you need me to sign your permit? I was like you're embarrassing me in front of the Biebs You know, he prank called me that not realizing the time difference yesterday I'd like three o'clock in the morning and you're about to have no more fever fever cuz I was not that kill He kept bringing to the real Justin Bieber. It's what he gets picked up in the morning Yeah, and I thought it was I was like yelling cuz I thought it was someone that got cuz my number gets out That's probably why I didn't respond cuz I changed it So I changed my number and he kept pranking me and I really didn't believe it was like a kid or something So I was like, I can't really yell cuz I think it's a kid, but I'm not really sure So finally, I was like in the morning and he's like, ha ha ha ha. It's Bieber I'll be back and I was like, oh my god. Did you cut your hair? Yeah, you know, it's just uh, it's an image change. I also do the middle fingernail. So You know, well there's no reason why you wouldn't because it's totally legal yo Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus's flirtation ship seemed very purposeful I mean listen to us are basically insinuate that he tried to set Miley and Justin up it Where were we? I think amaze with the amaze and I'm like, oh my I'm like, listen, I got this kid I'm telling you trust me. This kid is gonna be huge. You better call me back. I'm gonna give you my number Let's talk. Let's figure it out. So she's just kind of brushed And to be honest It was a little too much to just overlook Justin and Miley performed in his movie never seen ever that came to theaters make no mistake Justin's team knew his fan base and who if they could even just get a conversation with Miley Rumors would fly but to put her up on stage with him Selena's mortal enemy Not just once but multiple times was a direct slap in the face to Selena Gomez Now Miley and Selena have years of beef at this point Girls you never take your best friends ex just a rule Okay. Well, did you hear that everyone some words of wisdom for you from the pop princess herself? I'm glad to see that even though Hannah Montana and Mikaela are ultimate rivals on the show Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez are actually friends in real life I mean you are really friends in real life, right? I hate being mean to my lady He's complete and I'm really not mean in real life. So she's kind of the the teen pop rival Well said so for Miley to sort of poke the bear or even entertain Justin at all was immediately framed as a direct shot And trust me these rumors would continue into 2013 and we'll get to that Anyway, while Miley was flirting with Justin and planning her bangers era Selena would have a little mini bangers era of her own She filmed alongside at Disney Channel royalty Vanessa Hutchins and the truly iconic films spring breakers But this is where the cracks in their relationship really started to show in May 2012 a chaotic paparazzi encounter in Calabasas made headlines when Justin allegedly got into an altercation with a photographer blocking their car now the paparazzi would go Absolutely out of bounds for Justin Bieber photos Unsafe driving conditions having his car surrounded and being constantly followed were Justin's normal Driving pretty crazy, bro. I think you should slow down a little don't you think? My parents I make them proud bro, I make them proud. Yeah **** But much like Britney Spears the paparazzi would fight back And that little May altercation with Selena Gomez would lands Justin in a lot of legal trouble Where during his deposition all the paparazzi's lawyers wanted to ask Justin about was his relationship with Selena Gomez Justin Bieber made time Tuesday to wave to fans before a concert in Norway and to release die in your arms The second single off his new album what he is not made time for is talking to police after more than three days LA County Sheriff's investigators still have not spoken to Bieber about charges that he roughed up this photographer once they do talk to the star They say they'll most likely forward the case to the DA who could charge Bieber with battery Meantime new details and video are emerging from the scuffle this newly released video shows the still unnamed Photographer getting into an ambulance being treated by paramedics He says he was pushed by the 18 year old pop star Witnesses including other photographers say Bieber lost his cool and his shoe after the paparazzo Snapped photos of Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez later blocking their car got out of the car came this way and then Humble was right here Boom just punched him against the car during the aftermath as Gomez apparently tried to calm down her boyfriend Witnesses say she lost her phone and some even accused the paparazzi of taking it. We don't have the phone At a Memorial Day party Gomez, however was in no mood to chat blowing off questions about the incident The photographer would press charges against Justin and the legal situation would follow him until 2014 when he would be publicly deposed in front of the entire world But it seems like the only thing the paparazzi's lawyer was interested in doing was asking Justin about Selena Gomez Yes What's the relevance of that why are you asking that question because I'm allowed to ask you know You're not have you ever talked with Selena Gomez and discussed your feelings about paparazzi's with? Don't ask me about her again sir Don't ask me about her again This wasn't their only public fight or mishap Justin and Selena would also be caught fighting in a parking garage Looking visibly angry at each other at the airport and even caught on video in a really seedy area of Hollywood We're tabloids and the person filming accused them of purchasing illicit substances. Hey, can you see how you defensive? No, all right. Hey, I got Justin Bieber here to Swami though. Are you in my hood homie MS gang? I seen you, bro That's Justin Bieber for you guys. He's in Hollywood the worst the worst part of it, too the entire relationship was honestly an Impossible situation on top of the regular pressures of being a child star and being in a young relationship Justin and Selena were asked non-stop about each other the mixture of not being able to see each other Infidelity rumors substance rumors and constant speculation about their relationship status was clearly eating away at the two young stars They were only 18 and 19 years old But their relationship was playing out in front of everyone a few weeks later in June Selena flew into Toronto to host the much music Video Awards and Justin Bieber personally picked her up from the airport Photos of them hugging in the terminal flooded social media and fans Screamed that the couple was still going strong all while insiders were telling People magazine that their relationship was very up-and-down and that Their careers were pulling them in opposite directions Now if you were around for 2012 You'd remember that the actors and actresses from the Golden Age of Disney Channel would all band together and make one friend group Culminating in their own viral music video for call me Maybe when all the stars got together for Ashley Tisdale's party in Malibu. Everyone was having a great time Except Selena who reportedly cried over Justin Bieber at the entire Party telling her closest confidants that her and Justin had been non-stop arguing They were seen together again in September at a haunted house attraction But in October Justin sat down with Oprah Winfrey to defend their relationship for the very first time I'm always thoughtful about my fans. That's my first thought. What are my fans gonna think? Because I know Selena got death threats. I heard she got death threats on Twitter Yeah, people are mean and at the end of the day, I I still have to be happy I mean unless you know, I can't be single my whole life right girl I think the fans know that they know that you know, I can't be single there. They're upset because it's not them It's not them. Of course, you know, I know somebody with everybody all the fans I would But you're but I can't you're just one Bieber. Yeah, I'm just one so What was it about her that made you want to be with her? I am all about Really genuine people and I feel like she's one of the most genuine people, you know She just has a good heart and I can talk to her about Anything I never make her separate from me because I don't want to feel like I don't want her to ever feel like I'm ashamed Of her, you know, I feel like that a lot of guys do that, especially in the business They don't want to be seen with the girl So though, you know make them ride in separate cars and do all that getaway stuff You know if we get away we're you know getting away together that was the story They were giving the world on the Oprah Winfrey show But behind the scenes the entire relationship was unraveling at the end of the month Justin began posting cryptic Instagram captions like just me and links which fans quickly decoded a single spelled backward the internet exploded within days new rumors surfaced that Justin had been seen the backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show with model Barbara Palvin now Justin was performing at the fashion show So this one photo wasn't a huge deal however after the show Justin and Barbara would go to the Lion King on Broadway together a photo of Justin with Barbara in the background would Go viral Everyone was looking at Selena for a response and she would break the internet by posting the photo with only an ellipses Selena's never been one to shy away from commenting on her own drama. And I think that's what makes her such a massive celebrity she is the most followed pop star on social media and I feel like you don't get that without making major moves like this like You're dating the male Britney Spears and you're retweeting him with another girl It's honestly really really embarrassing and it doesn't stop like this entire video is like one big humiliation ritual But honestly, it's one that paid off for Selena Barbara later tweeted that the speculation was false But by then the narrative had grown legs and taken on a life of its own This seemed to be the final nail in the coffin for Justin and Selena by November 2012 people officially confirmed What fans had feared Selena had broken up with Justin? Sources claimed trust issues and busy schedules were to blame and the breakup was reportedly finalized around November 3rd 2012 ending one of pop culture's most watched teenage romances both of their fan bases were crushed 2014 marked a turning point for both Justin and Selena on January 2nd fans spotted the two writing segues through Calabasas prompting another wave of speculation that they reconciled That's Justin up ahead on the right side and a little bit behind is obviously Selena This is the neighborhood where if you can remember just a month or so ago Selena was reportedly looking to buy a brand new house right there and the story gets very interesting According to this Twitter user Nick Sinitsky who posted this photo JB told him and his friends to F off Adding that SG was really nice The next day Justin posted a photo of them together with the caption quote love the way you look at me It looked like they were warming up to each other again until Justin's personal mess was on display for everyone to see by mid-january Justin's home was raided by police following an alleged vandalism incident that caused significant property damage Or trouble for Justin Bieber tonight police searched the LA home of the Canadian singer after an incident more common among young kids than International pop stars. It's alleged Bieber pelted his neighbor's house with eggs Thursday night the cops were called in after Bieber was allegedly Pelting his neighbor's house with eggs. You can hear the Biebs and his neighbor doing battle in the video gone viral Yeah, come right over here you mother It took about 12 cops and eight cars to search the 19 year olds mansion seems heavy-handed to crack an egg case I get that it was done with eggs, which makes you feel that it's a lower-level crime But a felony crime is a felony crime no matter how you commit it Bieber wasn't arrested But someone else was little za Beiber's apparent BFF, but not for throwing eggs, but possession of narcotics The I believe was in plain view of the deputies when they were looking for the other evidence It's not the first time that Bieber has been a bad neighbor seen driving his Ferrari a hundred miles per hour Actually lowering house prices in his gated community got a 19 year old kid You know feeling entitled speeding up and down the highway, that's why all the neighbors is mad Then you got him spitting on people in the neighborhood. You can't do that. That's not that's not the way It's supposed to be days later He was arrested in Miami for a DUI and drag racing with model Chantel Jeffries in the passenger seat You've been romantically linked to Justin Bieber. Have you and Justin ever kissed? Oh my gosh people have called you several things One of which is is a gold digger. How do you? I If anything You could say I'm a gold digger because guess what? I have my own goals and I'm focused on those I don't really need anybody else I'm like a strong independent woman the image of his smirking mugshot became one of the most circulated photos of the entire Year a week later He turned himself in to Toronto police for allegedly assaulting a limo driver within the span of two weeks the public's perception of Justin Shifted dramatically fans were heartbroken that their parents now hated him. It was a complete anti Belieber Revolution and Justin became at the talk of the town now, I'm sure a lot of you remember when this happened I remember I was taking a class called God's World News at the time and I was 13 years old and Someone brought this story in and I was so sad for him I always remember how people bullied him and called him gay and said he had a high voice and all that stuff from like 2009 through 11 and I was a big fan even back then but oh my goodness when this hit I had already been two years off of defending Miley Cyrus every day of my life at every Christian school I was at for every mother who was criticizing her so ruthlessly and just wasn't understanding her and I felt the same way about Justin I was a really big fan. And honestly, I know he had more of a legal side and he was actually breaking the law It was just hard to watch for me because I feel like when you're so famous He already has a different way. He conducts himself every day He can't just go out in the public. He has to stay hidden in a lot of aspects And so the one time he's like trying to find himself in the public This is what he's met with it was like a really hard lesson right in front of everyone And I feel like it really reminds me of Britney Spears I don't feel like there's been such a media circus for lack of better words and bangers and Britney Spears like someone that's really truly Dominated the entire media where people are making headlines saying they're quote crashing out It was familiar and obviously, you know iconic in a lot of ways But it was clear Justin was struggling and he was young y'all like he was not some adult yet And genuinely no one was there to really help him. No one had his best interests at heart Everyone was making money off of him in his life and if they hung around him they got major perks and sometimes even free drugs people would use Justin till his use ran out and the backlash didn't just stop in the news within days of the Miami arrest a White House We the people petition to deport Justin blew past the signature threshold Collecting hundreds of thousands of names and forcing an official response It became a national political talking point the most famous 19 year old in the world Canadian not a US citizen was now being framed as a celebrity immigrant receiving special treatment Immigration attorneys quickly pointed out the fine print his charges were only misdemeanors not even the kind of aggravated crimes that trigger removal Proceedings even though he was in America on a work visa in other words It was embarrassing but not deportable and because everyone loves a good pot twist tabloids would pile on with an even louder rumor that Justin was trying to marry Selena Gomez to protect his status it was Everywhere for a week, even though there was no real evidence He proposed or even needed to the world was just trying to make sense of a 19 year old megastar in a complete Freefall after the dust settled the familiar pattern between Justin and Selena resurfaced It didn't stop her at all in March Justin flew to Texas where Selena was performing They were spotted having breakfast together laughing over coffee Justin even showed up to a South by Southwest performance and performed an acoustic set dedicated to her calling Selena his baby girl days later He posted and quickly deleted to black and white videos of them slow dancing to John legends ordinary people by April They were seen together again at Coachella walking hand-in-hand It looked like a reconciliation until a few weeks later when Selena suddenly Unfollowed both Kendall and Kylie Jenner after rumors surfaced that Justin had been texting the both of them The fallout was instant feeding endless fan theories about what had really gone down that weekend at Coachella Around this time Justin was also in the studio with a 15 year old Madison beer and Selena would pop by to check in on Through May and June the pattern repeated again Justin was seen having dinner with Kylie Jenner then posting and deleting another photo of him and Selena Captioned our love is unconditional each time Justin and Selena's fanbase caught it before it disappeared Kind of cementing their relationship as the most public private love story ever Jelena was an open secret the summer passed pretty quietly But by September they were spotted together again first at Hillsong Church Then at dinner in Los Angeles Sparking whispers of yet another reunion a few weeks later during Paris fashion week Justin was photographed having dinner with Kendall Jenner and by the next morning Selena had unfollowed him and flown home early in November's Selena released the heart wants what it wants a raw look into her state of mind at the time She later confirmed it was about Justin and the media would run with the story through the end of 2014 Now 2015 would be a year of clarity for Justin and Selena The year started confusing as usual as Justin and Selena were spotted at Mastro's on a top-secret date The general public didn't know what to believe Justin and Selena were officially more broken up than they were together at the exact same time Taylor Swift began dating Calvin Harris Her best friend Selena Gomez found herself smitten with another DJ as well Selena Gomez and Russian DJ Antoine otherwise known as Zedd would release their hit song I want you to know in early 2015 and fans began noticing how close Selena and Zedd caught on social media and their suspicions were Confirmed whenever Selena and Zedd were seen leaving an after-party together for the Golden Globes This sparked a ton of rumors that the two were dating However rising DJ at the time Diplo would publicly denounce their relationship and call it a publicity stunt only one month later Justin would infamously attend 2015 Coachella with Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner This sparked old rumors back up that Kendall and Justin were dating the public couldn't have been more wrong One month after Justin went to Coachella Selena Gomez would go on the radio and confirm that she did in fact have a fling with DJ Zedd saying quote first off It was very interesting that Diplo would think he knew about my personal life, but he doesn't I adore Antoine a lot And I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice Justin was quiet about his relationship with Selena Gomez for three months until he finally opened up about her to complex magazine and September of 2015 telling the magazine that quote I learned a lot I moved in with my girlfriend when I was 18 and started my own life with her It was a marriage kind of thing living with a girl at that age It was just too much, but we were so in love nothing else mattered We were all about each other and when it's like that when your whole world is wrapped up in one person You start to get your value from them and that's when things fell apart People will always disappoint you your girl or your dude They're always going to let you down eventually because your full identity can't be in that person My identity wasn't her and hers was in me So when stuff would happen I would lose my freaking mind and she'd lose hers and we'd fight so hard Because we were just so invested in each other, but love is a choice. It's not a feeling don't fall in love No, I'm just kidding and quote in October Justin and Selena would make headlines again when they were out to dinner together on Snapchat Selena would respond in Elle magazine in October of the same year Elle writing quote a recent Snapchat video showed Gomez and Bieber Happily sharing dinner with friends and friends is what they are now She says genuinely drawing out the words to make sure it sinks in saying quote I'll forever support him and to love him in a way that we grew up together I think people want it to be different different how I ask more drama. She nods. We're too young for that Nobody was married. There was no I respect him and I think he respects me in a healthy manner Would she and Bieber ever get back together? She laughs and practically shouts I don't know now keep in mind both Selena and Justin were in new eras Justin in his purpose era and Selena in her revival era Justin had infamously released. Where are you now with Skrillex who many thought was about Selena Gomez? He then followed up with his radio hit. Sorry Justin was quite literally begging for her back on every radio station Justin would release. What do you mean along with mark my words and love yourself These songs painted the portrait of a completely destroyed Justin Bieber who'd been left Emotionally destroyed and was moving through the stages of grief Selena stayed calm cool and collected with revival Releasing her songs same old love hands to myself and even kill him with kindness Fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that these songs were all about Justin and she actually had to go on ABC News and clarify That she was completely over Justin towards the end of 2015 Justin would further complicate the relationship telling access Hollywood that Selena is someone he loves dearly and he'll never stop loving her He respected her and they still talked but they needed some time to do some soul-searching But the world wasn't even completely sure if they were even fully broken up only two weeks later Justin and Selena would be seen at the Beverly Hills Hotel where videos would surface of Justin Serenading Selena with a song my girl and even his own song that he wrote for Selena titled Sorry, and all these sweet nothings would come to an end when Selena was photographed kissing One Direction's Niall Horan But Justin got his lick back on December 31st 2015 when he was photographed in st. Bart's kissing model and Nepo baby Haley Baldwin But this time was different for Justin and Selena Selena Gomez would take to Rolling Stone in January of 2016 and dispel any rumors that her and Justin were together saying quote I honestly am so done. I care about his health and well-being, but I can't do it anymore Honestly, what I would love to be printed is that I'm so beyond done with talking about that and him in February Justin would sort of echo that sentiment to GQ magazine saying that him and Selena don't talk often but their cordial This was directly after Selena's surgery scare So she was heavily in the news the next month even though Justin was publicly linked to Haley Baldwin He would post a throwback photo of him and Selena kissing from 2011 Selena liked the post and commented quote Perfect, and this is where it gets really wild Just when you think they're broken up and they're moving on only four days later after the kissing post Selena was spotted at Justin's purpose world tour at the Staples Center and the official venues Twitter page snitched that she was in attendance Now keep in mind Selena is deep in her Taylor Swift squad era and Justin Bieber's fame is being quantified by how many number ones off Purpose both would attend the iHeartRadio music awards and eyewitnesses reported that when Selena walked past Justin backstage He didn't say a word to her later that night Justin would win male artist of the year and Selena confusingly stood and Enthusiastically applauded because Selena and Justin were so on and off No one believed them when they said they weren't together anymore in April Selena was also rumored to have been dating Charlie Puth at the time as she had just Collaborated on we don't talk anymore and the two were spotted together Then a report surfaced claiming that Selena was hooking up with pal Charlie Puth who is not a believer We never really got to talk about just like years ago when you said **** you on stage to me I Don't think it's very funny to be honest Yeah However magazines later reported that they never actually dated despite the gossip the next month in May of 2016 Selena would make headlines when during one of her shows for the revival world tour She grabbed a fan's homemade sign that read quote Mary Justin, please and Selena crumpled the sign and tossed it aside on stage that same month Selena was photographed getting super handsy with actor Orlando Bloom now Selena and Orlando actually have a complicated history as they were rumored to have briefly dated in 2014 during one of Selena and Justin's breaks after news broke of Selena and Orlando being spotted together Orlando's girlfriend at the time Katy Perry Cryptically tweeted a Peggy Lee video saying is that all there is now? This drama runs so deep because Taylor Swift Selena Gomez his best friend was heavily feuding with Katy Perry at the time Both of the singers were writing diss tracks on each other So for Selena to go after Katie's man seemed like a direct attack on Katy Perry on behalf of Taylor Swift in August of 2016 Justin would take a break from Haley Baldwin and begin a brief relationship with model Sophia Richie as he began posting with her on Social media, she would be ruthlessly attacked just like Selena was but this time it was by both Justin and Selena's fan bases They were truly invested in Jelena. So anyone they posted with that wasn't each other would have their entire career crumbling Justin would plead with his fans to leave Sophia alone writing I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate Selena would make the shocking move to publicly comment on his Instagram post Saying quote if you can't handle the hate then 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 did end quote But this was the final straw for Justin as he would deactivate his entire account after she commented this Selena would quietly cancel her tour citing depression and anxiety due to her lupus She posted on Instagram constantly about feeling alone Selena reportedly changed her phone number and asked her friends not to give her new number to Justin and Outlets reported for the rest of the year that neither of them were speaking to each other in 2022 Selena Gomez would release her documentary my mind and me which featured footage from 2016 all leading up to the implosion of her canceling her world tour One of the most emotional scenes shows her crying over a collaboration with Justin Bieber his song Let me love you was originally supposed to feature Selena But it never ended up happening and Selena said she felt like she just wasn't enough by herself The whole song thing. He called me this morning about this song with Justin and I was like Like wait, am I gonna just be good enough by myself like what am I gonna be like What am I gonna be good just by myself not needing anybody to be associated with like it's so Selena Gomez would attempt to move on in 2017 when photos of her kissing the weekend hit every major news outlet Meanwhile Justin's relationships with Sofia Richie and Hailey Baldwin had completely fizzled out a month later Selena would release her song Everyone thought it was about Justin the co-writers of the song actually came out and cleared the air explaining the song wasn't Explicitly about Justin. However, Selena would like and unlike a Jelena fan post just days later This obviously reignited the never-ending rumor that the two were still seeing each other But it's important to note that Selena's recently has said that she hasn't had her social media password in almost a decade Selena's new boyfriend the weekend would take the narrative into his own hands when he released a song titled some way the day after Valentine's Day in it he sings I think your girl fell in love with me Justin would be Continually asked about this song and interviews at this time and he would reiterate that he doesn't listen to the weekend and that he's whack For the next five months Selena and Justin would go down completely separate paths Selena going strong with her new boyfriend the weekend and Justin pursuing his short career in acting but by September 2017 Selena's health would take a turn for the worse Selena would receive a kidney transplant and during her recovery Justin visited Selena fairly frequently now Keep in mind Selena at this point is still seeing the weekend But according to reports the time the weekend was completely aware. She was seeing Justin However over the course of the next few months Selena would start seeing Justin more and more going to breakfast going bike riding together and even going to church together By November, they were publicly hugging and kissing at Justin's hockey game Keep in mind Selena is still publicly dating the weekend a few weeks later Selena was showing clear signs of an era switch up as she dyed her hair blonde and Officially unfollowed the weekend around the same time Selena officially confirmed that her in the weekend broke up on good terms And she really cherishes people who've impacted her life She wouldn't directly named Justin but for the rest of the year They would be seen together non-stop boarding private jets together and even a semi private date at a Seattle arcade Anyway, as 2018 was revving up Selena Gomez's mother Mandy made it clear that she was unsupportive of Justin and Selena's rekindling But Justin's mother publicly defended the two getting back together Justin and Selena would be seen together all of February and at the beginning of March Selena even posted a birthday tribute for Justin Media outlets confirmed that sources close to Justin made it clear He wasn't finished with Selena and he still had so much love for her However at the same time Justin was quietly rekindling his relationship with Hayley Baldwin by June Justin and Hayley would reveal to the world that they were in fact Dating by the end of the year Justin and Hayley would be engaged to be married Selena's song lose you to love me is widely believed to be about Justin Bieber Saying that he rushed into a relationship and got engaged after only three months Many fans took Justin Bieber's song ghost as a response to Selena Justin says it's just about his grandfather, but the lyrics are pretty romantic There were even rumors on Justin's wedding day He reportedly texted Selena hours before the ceremony including saying I love you Many fans believe Selena is alluding to the situation in her song ring, which includes the lyrics quote I received your message all 23 This would set off an entire chain of events between Hayley and Selena, but I'm gonna save that drama for another video So be sure to subscribe if you're not click that notification bell because you will definitely want to see part two to this that's being Uploaded very soon.
