Justin Bieber has sparked fresh chatter years after his relationship with Selena Gomez ended. This time, the buzz started when fans noticed activity from his account on an old Instagram post featuring
Selena. The photo, shared back in March 2016, shows Justin kissing Selena during the peak of their romance. Recently, Justin’s verified account was seen liking a comment under the post. The comment was written in Spanish, “vivan los novios,” meaning “Long live the newlyweds,” which quickly caught fans’ attention.
Soon after the screenshots of the like started spreading online, it triggered questions about why Justin interacted with the post now. The timing of his like coincided with Hailey Bieber’s old photos from 2016, including one where she is seen kissing Justin. Even though Justin, Hailey and Selena have stayed silent, the internet has not.

In 2025, Hailey Bieber reportedly liked a TikTok video that made fun of Justin Bieber’s ex, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. The video focused on the couple’s cover photo shoot for Interview magazine and compared several of their photos, saying some looked bad. A month later, the creator of the video shared another TikTok claiming that Hailey had liked it. They even included a screenshot showing a notification from Hailey’s verified account as proof.
This happened even though Hailey had previously shown support for Selena and Benny’s relationship. She had liked the singers Instagram post from December that announced her engagement to the music producer.
