Fans of Justin Bieber believe he may have sent a coded message to his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, following her recent engagement to Benny Blanco. On Monday, Bieber posted a picture of his wife, Hailey, on Instagram, accompanied by Lizzy McAlpine’s song “All My Ghosts.”

Bieber and Gomez had a tumultuous relationship from 2010 until 2018, the same year he married Hailey. Social media users quickly scrutinized Bieber’s song choice, particularly noting the lyrics: “I can see it now, the wedding of the year / I can see it now, he stands up there and wipes his tears / I can see it now, when all my ghosts disappear.”

Comments flooded in, with many questioning the motivation behind the post. One user asked, “But why that song?” while another noted, “Of course he was gonna post something now.” A third humorously referenced Selena’s own lyrics, saying, “Why would you post this song? She’s so sick of that same old love.”

Some fans were less surprised, stating, “Was waiting for a post like this. So predictable.”

After Bieber married Hailey in 2018, Gomez released two breakup anthems, “Lose You to Love Me” and “Look at Her Now.” Following Justin’s marriage, Selena reportedly faced mental health challenges related to her lupus, leading to a breakdown that required treatment. The day after news of her struggles broke, Justin was seen looking despondent while with Hailey.

Tensions between the former couple continued over the years, including a 2020 incident where Justin reacted to a social media post from a Selena fan. He expressed his frustration at the bullying directed at Hailey, stating, “It is extremely hard to choose the high road when I see people like this try and rally to gather people to bully the person I love the most in this world.”

In her 2022 documentary, My Mind & Me, Selena reflected on her breakup with Justin. She described it as “the best thing that ever happened to her,” emphasizing how it taught her to “choose herself and choose life again.” Selena noted, “I feel like I had to go through the worst possible heartbreak ever… but I just think that needed to happen.”
