Selena Gomez's engagement: Justin Bieber reacts to 'end of an era'

Last week, fans of Selena Gomez encountered unexpected news. The singer announced via Instagram that she is engaged to her current partner, Benny Blanco, revealing the impressive sparkle on her finger. The couple has been dating since 2023, and it appears they have serious plans for each other.

This significant event in Selena's life wouldn't be complete without media reports on her ex-boyfriend's reaction. Justin Bieber, the ex in question, ended their relationship many years ago, and their romance was notably tumultuous. Although he now has a wife and child, many are curious if and what emotions the news of his ex's engagement stirred in him.

The Daily Mail delved into the matter, contacting a "well-informed" source close to the star. The musician was reportedly happy about Selena's engagement, but also felt a momentary pang, as it marked the definitive end of a chapter in his life.

"Justin is married and has a kid, we all know that but when he heard that Selena was engaged, he'll even admit, it stung for a brief second. Because even though they will never be friends or date again or anything like that, it is officially the end of an era," the informant explained.

We also learn that Justin can finally breathe and genuinely wishes Selena all the best.

His past is so connected with Selena, and now that she is engaged, he is married and a father, it's a bit of a shock to the system that everyone is getting older. Justin is only 30, but he has lived a life, and an important part of his past is now officially moved on just as much as he has moved on. He won't be stressing much about it and hopes that she is well and happy at the end of the day. He hopes this will finally get fans to stop stanning for that relationship, it's been over and now this should put the nail in the coffin.
