On June 20, 2025, Justin Bieber shared a video on his Instagram Stories featuring a content creator impersonating Benny Blanco, the fiancé of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. The creator mimicked Blanco’s speaking style and his way of describing the inspiration behind his music. Bieber’s repost quickly drew attention, with many interpreting it as subtle shade toward Gomez and her current relationship.
Reactions flooded X (formerly Twitter), where fans criticized Bieber for revisiting past drama. One user wrote, “It’s been decades… he needs to move tf on,” while another remarked, “Imagine being a father and still obsessed with your ex.” Others speculated the post was a response to Gomez’s recent engagement, with one fan commenting, “He’s crashing out every day ever since Selena got engaged.”
Meanwhile, social media users noticed that Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber had unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking rumors of renewed tension. Although neither party has addressed the situation, fans suspect the repost may have contributed to the apparent fallout. The history of friction between Gomez and Hailey—largely driven by their connection to Bieber—has resurfaced in light of the recent events.
Gomez and Bieber were in an on-and-off relationship for nearly a decade before he married Hailey Baldwin in 2018. Their intertwined histories have long fueled fan speculation, and flare-ups like this continue to keep their names linked online.
This brief video post has since gone viral, reigniting public discussion about Bieber’s ties to Gomez and stirring renewed backlash. Whether intentional or not, Bieber’s repost has placed him back in the center of a social media firestorm—prompting debate about privacy, boundaries, and moving on from past relationships.
