Singer and songwriter Justin Bieber has recently sent his fans into a frenzy with his latest social media activity. The Biebers and selenators were feeling nostalgic frenzy.
Justin reacted to a 10-year-old post that included a kissing shot of him and his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. The singer’s online activity has rekindled online conversation, reminding people how closely his online actions are still monitored.
Fans spotted Justin liking a comment on one of his own 2016 Instagram photos, which led to the moment. A vintage photo of the singer kissing Gomez during their much-discussed intermittent relationship was included in the tweet. Screenshots of the exchange instantly went popular on social media.
At the peak of what supporters famously called the "Jelena" phase, on March 20, 2016, the aforementioned post was first uploaded. "Long live the couple" was the comment that Bieber liked, and the user then provided proof that the like originated from Bieber's verified account.

Despite the action's brief duration and lack of explanation, it was sufficient to reignite conjecture. While some fans recalled previous stories about Bieber and Gomez's past, demonstrating the ongoing curiosity with their former connection, others argued whether the like was accidental or purposeful.
Since 2018, Bieber, now 31, has been married to model Hailey Bieber. The couple has talked candidly over the years about avoiding continuous comparisons to Bieber's past relationships and handling online criticism. Neither Justin nor Hailey has commented on the resurfaced contact despite the rumours.

Despite the increased attention, Selena Gomez has also been silent. The singer-actor has constantly steered clear of talking about her relationship with Bieber.
Meanwhile, both Justin and Selena have moved on in their personal lives. Justin is married to Hailer Bieber and shares a son with her. Meanwhile, Selena tied the knot with Benny Blanco last year.
