Fact Check: Did Justin Bieber call Selena Gomez 24 hours before walking down the aisle with Hailey?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It’s been years since Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez went their separate ways. Though the once-beloved pair has since found love in different people, their fans still reel in the memories of their relationship.
The 31-year-old ‘Baby’ singer and the Rare Beauty founder, 32, dated on-and-off for almost nine years from 2010 to 2018. Less than a few months later, it was revealed that Justin was dating model and socialite Hailey Bieber (born Hailey Baldwin), 28, and had proposed to her.
Justin and Hailey first got married in a courthouse on September 13, 2018, followed by a larger celebration in South Carolina on September 30, 2019.
However, according to celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi, though the singer moved on with his new love, he allegedly tried to reach out to the former Disney Channel star over calls or texts just 24 hours before his marriage to Hailey.
Claim: Justin Bieber called or texted Selena Gomez before getting married to Hailey
Despite the two stars moving on with their lives, with Justin Bieber welcoming his son Jack Blues Bieber with Hailey Bieber in August 2024, and Selena Gomez getting engaged to music producer Benny Blanco in December 2024, fans are still nostalgic about "Jelena" (the portmanteau name given to the former couple by the netizens).
One of the major theories surrounding the former couple is that Justin tried to contact Selena just 24 hours before walking down the aisle with his now wife.
As reported by Distractify, DeuxMoi once claimed that the ‘One Time’ singer texted "I love you" around a day before his marriage.
Speculation about Justin being fixated on Selena was further fueled by her 2020 song, ‘Ring'.
In the song from her third studio album ‘Rare’, Selena sang, "Yeah, I received your message, all 23 (23)/ You know I'm Jordan with it, G-O-A-T (G-O-A-T). Obviously, you know, I'm aware of that/ I'm breakin' hearts like a heart attack."
Fact Check: There is no proof that Justin Bieber called or texted Selena Gomez before his wedding
Upon further checking, no solid proof has been found regarding Justin Bieber trying to contact Selena Gomez before his marriage.
While many of their fans think that the songstress left a hint about Justin trying to contact her before his marriage to Hailey, there is still no proof of the same. Nor did the two stars ever talk about engaging in pre-wedding conversations that may or may not have included the said phone calls and texts.
Responding to rumors of Justin cheating on Selena with her, Hailey said during an appearance on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, "When we started hooking up, he wasn’t in a relationship. I wasn’t interested and I never was."
She further clarified, "I wouldn’t mess with someone’s relationship. I know it was the right thing for them to end it. I know it closed a chapter. It was the best thing for him to move on and get married," as per Weddings in Athens.
