Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had an on-again, off-again relationship that spanned over eight years, from 2010 to 2018. They broke up multiple times, with the first split occurring in November 2012 due to their busy and conflicting work schedules. They reunited in 2014 but called it quits later that year. They had one last go from 2017 to 2018, but it seemed like things didn’t work out at the end of it. The reason for their final split was never made public, but numerous reports and insiders at the time claimed that the relationship had been ‘unhealthy’ for a while. Justin proposed to Hailey Baldwin in 2018, which ended the prospects of Justin and Selena reuniting a fourth time. Selena Gomez has since called the breakup "the best thing that ever happened to me" and opened up about how it helped her journey toward independence, confidence, and self-love.
