Justin Bieber Sparks After Double Tapping Comment Under Old Selena Gomez Photo
The original post, shared back on March 20, 2016, shows Justin Bieber kissing Selena Gomez during the peak of their highly publicized relationship. Recently, Bieber’s account allegedly liked a comment under the photo was written in Spanish, which translates to, “Long live the newlyweds!” Screenshots quickly circulated online, confirming the interaction came directly from Bieber’s verified account. While he didn’t add a caption or make a statement, fans went wild, debating whether this was a subtle nod to his past or just random social media activity.
Adding fuel to the fire, Hailey Bieber had just shared a carousel of nostalgic 2016 photos days before, including one of her kissing Justin at sunset, captioned “You just had to be there.” Neither Justin, Hailey, nor Selena have commented on the interaction, but that hasn’t stopped online communities from breaking down every move and predicting what it could mean for the Biebs’ love life.
Fans Are Split Over The Accident Or Subtle Backtrack
Fans didn’t waste a second before flooding The Shade Room’s Instagram comments with their takes on Justin’s interaction. Many pointed out that it could honestly have been an accident, since comments often show up in notifications, while others wondered why the 2016 post was still up in the first place.
One Instagram user @christine.elizabeth said, “Uh oh that 2016 nostalgia kicking in 😂”

Fans Speculate About Bieber’s Love Life After Past Posts
Justin Bieber had fans talking last year after going public with some very messy messages. Back in June, he shared screenshots of a conversation with an unnamed individual, admitting he “will never suppress” his emotions. The exchange ended with Bieber declaring the friendship “officially over” and calling the person an expletive, leaving fans shook by how raw he kept it.
The following day, Bieber continued the conversation on his Instagram Story, urging people to stop asking if he was okay and reflecting on the exhaustion of self-healing. “I know I’m broken, I know I have anger issues,” he wrote, sparking even more chatter online.
