A few weeks ago, Selena Gomez lamented coverage of an interview she gave to The Sunday Times, wondering why outlets refused to let go of a certain topic:
Her relationship with Justin Bieber.
“Disappointing seeing interviews I’ve done recently that sound like the exact same interview I did when I was 16,” wrote in response to headlines that talked about her past with Bieber.
But now Selena has gone ahead and… talked about her past with Bieber again.
“I’ll forever support him and love him,” Gomez tells the October issue of Elle. “We grew up together. I think people want it to be different.”
Selena and Justin were back and forth (and back and forth… and back and forth…) for a very long time.
But they haven’t dated in years at this point and Gomes shrugged off any talk of “drama” between the singers, telling the magazine:
“I respect him. And I think he respects me, in a healthy manner.”
Gomez went on to claim that the track “Same Old Love” is NOT about any “specific relationship,” but she was then asked whether she would ever reunite romantically with Bieber.
The magazine reports Gomez laughed and “practically” shouted in response: “I don’t know!”
SIGH.
It’s totally fine if Gomez and Bieber need a lot of time to figure out their feelings. Heck, we’d love to see them back together once both sides are ready to commit.
But Selena can’t blame fans and gossip outlets for constantly bringing up this relationship when she acknowledges that it may not be over with.
Gomez will release a new album on October 9 and this Elle issue will be available for purchase on September 22.
