Justin Bieber + Selena Gomez: A Timeline Of Their Break Ups And Make Ups
It's baffling to think that Justin Bieber was just 16-years-old when he first started dating Selena Gomez. And now, after years of on-again-off-again drama, it looks like the superstars might be cozying up yet again!
Since their initial breakup back in late 2012, Bieber’s career hit some major bumps in the road. He spazzed out on a photographer while on a tour stop in London last year, got fined for spray painting a building, was arrested in Miami for a DUI, and caught on multiple leaked videos using the racial slurs as a joke. Even with his bad boy image, photos of the two together continued to surface. If you ask us, Selena seems to be the calm to his storm.
Despite being in the headlines for everything but his music, Justin seems ready to make a clean slate with Selena by his side. Although the pair have not explicitly stated they’re back together, the subtext in their social media presence definitely makes it seem that way.
Here’s a timeline of Justin and Selena’s love and affection over the years! Maybe she can pull him out of his slump...
