Justin Bieber couldn’t control himself hugging Selena Gomez after their close encounter in Paris

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were frequently seen in close proximity in Paris, despite consciously avoiding each other at public events. Despite their efforts to steer clear of one another, rumors circulated that they had a close encounter, even though there was no direct interaction. Adding to the speculation was Justin Bieber’s apparent display of emotions during this meeting. The nature of their encounter remains unclear, but their long and complicated history, marked by on-and-off romantic links over the years, fueled speculation among fans about possible unresolved feelings.

However, it’s important to note that Selena Gomez was occupied with work commitments during her time in Paris, while Justin Bieber was there to support his wife, Hailey Baldwin, with her brand Road. This suggests that their encounter may have been brief and platonic.

According to a recent source, Selena Gomez is doing well despite the turmoil she has experienced over the last several years.

SOURCE: MEGAJustin Bieber and Selena Gomez dated off and on from 2011-2018.

“Selena is in a really good place,” an insider spilled. “She’s happy and healthy and feeling stronger than she has in years.”’

The 31-year-old has had a tough decade. In 2016, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum was forced to cancel the remaining dates of her Revival Tour due to mental health struggles. The star was also diagnosed with lupus, which led to a kidney transplant in 2017.

Then in 2018, Gomez and her on-again, off-again boyfriend of eight years, Justin Bieber, called it quits. Just a few months later, the pop heartthrob said “I do” to Hailey Bieber.

In 2020, while speaking with Miley Cyrus, she also revealed that she has bipolar disorder, and in her 2022 documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, she discussed her debilitating anxiety and depression.

However, the source assured the outlet that Gomez is now working on herself and determining what’s best for her future.

“Selena’s attitude is, ‘I want to be happy,’” the source said. “She’s not ashamed of who she is and she’s not afraid to talk about what she’s been through.”

The singer, who is the most followed person on Instagram, has been overwhelmed by the support she has received from her fans.

“Selena didn’t set out to be a role model,” the insider added. “She’s incredibly humbled that fans see her that way.”

As OK! previously reported, Gomez recently opened up about this difficult time in her life during an interview with Fast Company.

“I had just gotten my heart broken. I didn’t need to see what everyone was doing,” she said of leaving social media after her 2018 breakup. “Then there were those moments of not feeling positive about how I looked because of what I’d see on Instagram. ‘Wow, I wish my body looked like that.'”
