Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber’s troubled relationship has been the subject of a lot of rumors and media stories over the years. These two people who used to be in love may be fanning the flames of their rivalry once more.

Couples of pictures of Gomez getting close to music producer Benny Blanco have been posted online, just days after Bieber was seen in Las Vegas without his wife Hailey. Some people think that the pop star is making fun of her ex-boyfriend’s new baby because of when the pictures were taken.

The pictures show Gomez and Blanco laughing and hugging each other warmly. The “Lose You to Love Me” singer looks happy and carefree. Bieber’s recent single trip to Sin City, where he looked sad and missed his family, is very different from this warm performance.

Of course, there are a lot of ideas on the internet about why Gomez did what she did. Some people think that the timing of the pictures is meant to poke fun at Bieber, whose personal life has been in the news lately since the birth of his and Hailey’s first child.

There’s no chance that Selena posted these pictures with Benny right after Justin was seen by himself in Vegas, someone wrote on Twitter. “She’s trying so hard to make him envious and show him what he’s missing.”

Others, though, think the rumors aren’t true and that Gomez’s hangout with Blanco is just two friends getting together again.

“Take a deep breath. Selena and Benny have worked together a lot of times in the past. “I think they’re just getting together as friends,” said another fan. “Not every story has to be about Justin and Hailey’s child.”

While neither Gomez nor Bieber’s representatives have said anything about it yet, fans are free to make up their minds about what happened in their relationship.

There’s no doubt that the Selena-Justin story continues to captivate the public mind. Every new development leads to a new round of intense scrutiny and debate.

It’s still not clear if this new episode is a planned jab or just a harmless get-together. But one thing is for sure: people will always be interested in these two big stars, and that interest doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.
