Selena Gomez found herself thrust back into the spotlight, but this time, it wasn’t for her music. The internet was abuzz with the news of her ex, Justin Bieber, and his wife Hailey, expecting their first child.

Hailey shared the news in a radiant Instagram video. She glowed in a custom Saint Laurent lace wedding dress, cradling her baby bump. The setting was idyllic, a surprise vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii.

Justin, ever the doting husband, captured the moment, serenading Hailey with a new track.

Their joy was palpable, a tender kiss sealing the announcement of their growing family.

TMZ reported that Hailey was already well into her second trimester, over six months pregnant. The news sent shockwaves through the internet, especially amongst fans who had followed the tumultuous love triangle involving Justin, Selena, and Hailey for years.

Just hours after Hailey’s announcement, Selena posted a photo on her Instagram story. A simple black-and-white snapshot, it depicted her and her current boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco, holding hands, wrapped in blankets.

But what caught everyone’s attention was the prominent ring adorning Selena’s left ring finger. Was this a mere coincidence? Or a calculated response to Justin’s baby news? Fans were left speculating, dissecting the timing and the symbolism.

The history between Justin and Selena was complex, an eight-year rollercoaster of on-again, off-again romance. They finally called it quits in 2018, paving the way for Justin to rekindle his romance with Hailey.
