Justin Bieber sparks a social media frenzy as he is accused of ‘liking’ a 2016 photo of him kissing ex Selena Gomez – before ‘unliking’ post amid flurry of fanfare

Justin Bieber has sparked a social media frenzy amid accusations he has liked a 2016 image of him kissing his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.  

Justin Bieber, who has been married to Hailey since 2018 and is a father, caused a stir online. Fans noticed his account briefly liked a comment on a post before the like disappeared a few hours later.

Someone recently commented ‘Vivan los novios’ – Spanish for ‘Long live the bride and groom!’ – on a photo, and the singer apparently liked the comment.

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve noticed everyone’s been sharing old 2016 photos lately, and it seems like that’s what prompted Justin to dig up some throwback pics of his own. Naturally, fans are now buzzing, wondering if his ‘like’ on one of those older posts was a deliberate move or just a slip of the thumb – the comments are full of speculation!

As a longtime fan, I have to admit it’s been hard to let go of the idea of Selena and Justin together. Even though Selena married Benny Blanco last year, and Justin and Hailey celebrated their wedding in 2018 and recently welcomed their baby boy, Jack, many of us still wonder ‘what if?’ They had such a connection over the years, dating on and off from December 2010 until March 2018, and the speculation just hasn’t died down.

I was so excited when I saw the post – it was a really happy announcement from way back in March 2016! And then, I immediately noticed something amazing: it looked like JB had actually liked the comment! I couldn’t believe my eyes!

I was so excited when I heard he took back what he said! It brought a ton of attention to an old post of his – it quickly racked up over 4.1 million likes and a million comments, and it was still climbing when I last checked!

The unfolding situation sparked a lot of online reaction. Many people shared memes of popcorn, referencing the ‘show’ unfolding, while others highlighted Hailey’s old caption from a 2016 post – ‘you just had to be there’ – as a response.

People were talking about Justin Bieber liking an old photo of himself on Hailey’s Instagram, and one fan pointed out he was ‘liking pics of him and his first love.’ Many others shared memes about Selena Gomez in response.

The Daily Mail has contacted Justin’s representatives for comment. 

Okay, so everyone’s talking about Justin potentially liking a photo after his wife, Hailey, posted a really sweet throwback picture of them kissing. It’s a cute moment they shared in the past, and it’s got people buzzing! As someone who keeps an eye on these things, it’s always fun to see couples sharing little glimpses of their relationship, and this definitely seems like a tender one.

Hailey recently addressed claims that she shared a video online alleging abuse by the singer, and then participated in a popular 2016 Instagram trend.

I’ve been following this couple for years, and it’s lovely to see them together again! She kept her hair pulled back in a simple, classic ponytail, and there was such a sweet moment when he gently cupped her face with his hands. They actually dated way back in 2014, but things didn’t work out publicly a couple of years later. It’s nice to see they’ve found their way back to each other.

In a previous interview with Vogue, the mother of one explained that the couple had experienced difficult issues they still needed to address and resolve following their separation.

She remembered it wasn’t a simple falling out, but a really harsh and public rejection. For a while, he would actively avoid her, leaving any room she entered.

I was so thrilled when Justin and Hailey reconnected in 2018, especially after his breakup with Selena. It didn’t take long – they fell in love again and got married that same year! It was amazing to watch their journey.

I remember back in October when Hailey made what felt like a pointed comment about Selena. She basically said she doesn’t bother comparing herself to people she doesn’t admire, and honestly, it felt a little shady. It really sparked a lot of conversation among fans like me!

Hailey Bieber recently discussed in an interview with WSJ. Magazine how she reacts to comparisons between her skincare line, Rhode Beauty, and Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty. This came after Hailey sold her business for $1 billion to e.l.f. earlier in the year.

She admitted she finds the constant comparisons ‘annoying.’

Hailey expressed frustration with being compared to others, saying she never asked for that kind of pressure. She explained that once people have formed an opinion about you, it’s not your responsibility to change their minds.

I believe there’s room for everyone to succeed, and I don’t see others as competition unless they inspire me.
