They were one another’s first loves.
But while it seems Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber will always be attracted to one another, the pair are no longer dating.
Multiple outlets report that the two have split once more, after opposition to the renewed relationship by Selena’s mother.

The 25-year-old singer-songwriter and Justin, 24, rekindled their on/off romance in 2017.
A source close to the family explained to Us Weekly: ‘Selena and Justin decided to take a break mainly because of Selena’s mom and her disapproval of Justin.
‘Justin’s family loves Selena, but Selena’s family has put her in a very conflicting spot because they still don’t trust Justin. Selena has tried to convince her family that Justin has changed … but her family just isn’t budging right now.’

Selena is exceptionally close to her mother Mandy Teefey, who raised her alone and supported her through her recent illness and kidney transplant.
Mandy is said to worry about her daughter being hurt again by Sorry hitmaker Bieber.
Indeed Mandy addressed the relationship recently when she claimed she hadn’t spoken to Justin – even over text message – in ‘years’.
However, she also said that Selena is old enough to make her own decisions about her personal life as long as she’s ‘happy, safe and healthy’.

She explained: ‘Selena can live her life however she wants as long as she is happy, safe and healthy.
‘She is 25 years old and knows what is at stake with her health. I do not control her the way it has been portrayed. Selena is an adult and can make her own choices.’
Justin and Selena first started dating in 2009 but have been on and off for years.
It’s been claimed that the celebrity duo got back together, in part, because they feel like no one else can really relate to the stresses they both deal with on a daily basis.
Their most recent reunion came last year after Selena split from The Weeknd.
