Justin Bieber Faces Fan Backlash Over Cryptic Post After Ex Selena Gomez’s Wedding

Justin Bieber was met with criticism from fans after sharing a social media post featuring a song about marriage just hours after his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, married Benny Blanco.

On Saturday, Bieber posted a carousel on Instagram showing him playing basketball at an L.A. court. The post was set to his 2025 song “I Do,” a romantic ballad about his own marriage to Hailey Bieber. Fans quickly noticed the timing, as Gomez had tied the knot with Blanco in a star-studded ceremony in Santa Barbara earlier that day.

Many followers called out Bieber for his choice of song and the timing. One commented, “You lost her, get over her,” while another said, “The love of your life just got married.”

Gomez shared her own wedding photos later that evening, posting intimate images from her ceremony where she wore a custom satin dress with embroidery, both she and Blanco opting for Ralph Lauren attire. Gomez looked stunning; her dress was a hand-draped halter-neck satin piece, and Blanco appeared dashing in a tuxedo.

Before their respective weddings, Gomez and Bieber had a tumultuous relationship lasting nearly eight years, ending for good in 2018. Bieber later married Hailey Baldwin secretly that same year. Gomez, meanwhile, has been linked to various relationships but maintained that her bond with Bieber ended long ago.

Despite ongoing rumors of rivalry, Hailey Bieber clarified in a 2022 interview that her relationship with Gomez is “all love.” The women have even posed for photos together, signaling a level of peace in their relationship.
