Justin Bieber’s fans believe he has sent ex girlfriend Selena Gomez a coded message amid her engagement to Benny Blanco.
The 30-year-old Canadian pop star’s Instagram followers are convinced they have decoded a telling post he shared to the app shortly after Selena’s, 32, wedding news was shared.
Bieber and Gomez famously dated on and off between from 2010 until 2018, the year he married Hailey Bieber, 28.
On Monday he uploaded an affectionate photo with Hailey and added Lizzy McAlpine’s 2022 song All My Ghosts.
Social media users flooded his comments, calling out the song choice, which includes 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 / I can see it crystal clear.’
‘But why that song?’ one person asked, racking up over 2,000 likes. Another commented, ‘Of course he was gonna post something now.’

Fans did not hold back, as one referenced Selena’s 2015 song Same Old Love, writing, ‘Why would you post this song? She’s so sick of that same old love.’
Another added, ‘We know why you posted this,’ adding a crying laughing emoji.
There was also someone who speculated, ‘My god, this post is pathetic and so sad.
‘Of course, his hysterical fans will say I’m paranoid, but you need to stop lying to yourselves! He’s trying to send a message!Or maybe just trying to get attention.’
The person demanded to know, ‘But seriously, why at this specific moment and with this song? Why?’
‘Your baby ghost, it’s the @selenagomez,’ yet another fan pointed out.
An Instagram user named Jennifer agreed, ‘Of course he posted… he only posts when she does. he has to remind the whole world how happy he is because it’s written all over his face …..NOT!!’
‘The song choice and timing is crazy,’ another weighed in.
‘Was waiting for a post like this. so predictable,’ the comments went on.

In October 2017, Justin and Selena were spotted grabbing breakfast and attending a church service together.
They continued to be pictured together, enjoying bike rides and attending hockey games, but by March 2018 they called it quits for good.
Justin went on to marry Hailey that September, and Selena released two scathing breakup anthems, Lose You to Love Me and Look at Her Now.
The month after Justin married Hailey, Selena reportedly suffered a breakdown connected to her lupus and entered treatment for her mental health.
One day after news broke of Selena’s alleged breakdown, Justin was spotted looking despondent as he sat in his car with Hailey.
Back in 2020 Justin shared a social media post by a Selena fan who encouraged others to flood Hailey’s livestream with remarks that ‘Jelena was better.’
‘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,’ Justin wrote.

In 2022 Selena revealed her break-up with Justin was the ‘best thing that ever happened to her’ in her Apple TV+ documentary, My Mind & Me.
She said she felt the ‘worst heartbreak ever’ had to happen so that she could learn to ‘choose herself and choose life again.’
‘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. But I just think that needed to happen and ultimately it was the best thing that ever happened to me.’
Meanwhile, the Biebers are enjoying baby bliss four months after welcoming their first child, a son they named Jack Blues Bieber.
