Over the weekend, Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin.
Now, a source close to Selena says that not only is she unbothered by her many-times ex’s engagement, she’s genuinely amused.
Because he tried all of those same lines on Selena before moving on to Hailey, his runner-up.
A source close to Selena tells RadarOnline that Selena doubts Justin’s feelings for Hailey.
Why?
Because the Beibs apparently used “those exact same words” that he used on Hailey not so long ago, but he was directing them at Selena.
This is said to have gone down “just a few months ago.” Which is not a great look for Justin and Hailey at the start of their engagement.
“Selena literally laughed her ass off when she read his Instagram post,” the insider says. “Because he used some of those cheesy lines with her very recently.”
Wow.
“Selena thinks that if Justin [were] really so in love with Hailey and ready to spend the rest of his life with her,” the source says. “He would not need to tell everyone on Instagram.”
That, at least, is debatable. The news had already broken, so Justin broke his silence to gush about his fiancee.
“Selena just feels bad for Hailey at this point,” the insider describes.
This sounds like genuine sympathy, rather than just shade.
“Because Hailey is a runner-up,” the source explains. “And she still said yes to him anyways.”
Selena and Justin were exes when, out of the blue, he started chatting her up, taking her on church dates, and suddenly they were back together.
Fast-forward a few months from their breakup, and he’s hanging out with Hailey again, taking Hailey to the same church dates, and just a few weeks later, asking her to become his wife.
“She had been chasing him for years,” the insider says of Hailey. “And she was a shoulder to cry on when things went bad with Selena.”
Hailey last dated the Biebs from 2015 to 2016. That also happened to be right on the heels of his relationship with Selena.
The source reveals: “Selena thinks that the two of them will be over before wedding preparations even begin!”
If you need on a refresher on exactly which words Selena thinks that Justin used on her and then on Selena, here is what Justin said on Instagram when he finally confirmed his engagement.
“Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you!” Justin gushed. “So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindLY.”
One can’t help but wonder how many of these phrases he used on Selena.
“I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity,” Justin wrote. “letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make.”
That first bit, about leading the family, is weird. Whatever, he and Hailey go to the same church so maybe she’s okay with that kind of 1950s language.
“My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS,” the Biebs affirmed. “And I will ALWAYS put you first!”
“You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin,” Justin said, though one wonders if he tried the same line on Selena. “And I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else. You make me so much better and we compliment eachother so well!!”
He definitely meant to write complement, in case you think that he’s just saying that he and Hailey say nice things about each other.
Justin wrote that he “can’t wait for the best season of life yet!. It’s funny because now with you everything seems to make sense!”
That seems like another line that he could have easily used on Selena. We don’t know for sure, though.
“‘He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord!"” Justin quoted. “This is the year of favor!!!!”
It seemed to a lot of people that, when Jelena 2.0 (they dated way, way more times than twice) fizzled out, Justin just decided to try the exact same thing on another ex.
One might characterize Hailey as being the Biebs’ runner-up, though that would be unfair to Hailey.
Maybe Justin did use a lot of the same language when wooing both exes.
Of course, maybe that’s just how he talks.
But there’s a line between using familiar phrases and taking someone on the same dates and expressing the same feelings as if they were interchangeable.
We sincerely hope that Justin recognizes that Hailey is her own person.
