Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are causing fans of Jelena to do the Yay, They’re Back Together dance. And although the signs that they’ve reunited their romance are tentative, it hasn’t stopped Beliebers in Jelena from feeling hopeful, noted E! News .
However, should the Selena-and-Justin-forever group think that this time is for keeps? It’s been more than three years since their first breakup. Now the pop idol is 22, while Gomez is 23. And both have been dating other people since that breakup.
However, there was something special about Bieber and Selena, and Gomez has not found any guy to measure up as yet. Instead, Gomez has sought to make it clear to her fans that she isn’t focusing her existence around her off-and-on boyfriend.
However, it’s a different story on Instagram and also, most recently, in the real world. The first signal came from the Biebs, who posted a throwback picture showing him passionately locking lips with Selena , as the Inquisitr reported.
Then Gomez responded by indicating that she liked it. In addition, Selena also added her own comment, posting that it was “Perfect.”
But then Gomez posted her own photo, sporting a cute bikini. All it took was a double-tap from the Biebs on the bathing suit bombshell pic, and the Internet went wild all over again with Jelena love, pointed out Refinery29 .
The official Biebs tracker (yes, it’s a real thing) reported the activity that had fans waiting for more love rather than just a like.
“justinbiebertracker@selenagomez hawt,” reported the tracker.
As for real world evidence that the romance has rekindled? It’s there, as well.
Selena attended Bieber’s show recently, and appeared to have a fabulous time. In addition, various reports have included everything from secret hookups at his hotel, flirty fun texting, and even an attempt to recreate one of their most famous dates of all.
After Gomez paid tribute to the 22-year-old pop idol by attending his Los Angeles Purpose World Tour concert, he had concocted a plot to woo her back, a source told E! News .
The plan called for a repeat of their hottest, most extravagant date together.
“Justin wanted to rent out the Staples Center after his concert to do a repeat date night screening of Titanic for Selena because he is trying to get back with her,” the source revealed.
Did he tell Gomez? The insider wasn’t sure, but did report that he decided to cancel it while staying determined to date Selena again.
“I also don’t know if he ever even told Selena about his plan, but I do know he is really obviously trying to date her again. He wanted to do something big and extravagant for her like this and had been making arrangements for the movie date before his concert even started.”
As for Gomez, she enjoyed the concert. And for Jelena watchers, the former lovebirds seemed “genuinely comfortable” as a couple, according to what an observer told E! News .
“They both looked really happy,” added the onlooker.
What’s the next step in this rocky romance? While the Biebs is begging Selena to prioritize becoming his girlfriend again, Gomez isn’t about to sacrifice her career for her boyfriend, an insider revealed to Hollywood Life .
And that’s what is blocking Selena from immersing herself in the relationship again, according to the insider.
“Justin wants Selena to put her career on the back burner and be his girlfriend and have a career second. Anyone can imagine how this is going over with Selena. She really wants to be with him and will give him a chance when their schedules work, which is most likely after their individual tours finish but she isn’t going to sacrifice her career for a guy.”
Gomez does want to be with the Biebs, according to that insider, but now that she’s older and wiser, Selena is setting her own guidelines for their relationship, and that means it has to be mutual terms.
In addition, Gomez is reportedly enjoying a flirty friendship with Charlie Puth , according to Us Weekly ‘s insider.
“It’s not serious, but she’s super into him,” claims the insider.
However, one of Selena’s pals disagrees, telling Us that it’s only a “flirty friendship.”
